Idea that Putin is going into background popped up when he decided to rewrite the constitution but not the part that forbid him to go on to his third term (he is in his second term now, again). Since then it was rulled by the constitutional court that any change to the constitution would turn the counter of his terms to zero. Now Putin plan is clear - he is not going anywhere.
