One prediction market prices this story:

  • Will Vladimir Putin be the next leader out before 2027? — the market puts it at 1%, with $96 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The Yes outcome occurs if Vladimir Putin permanently loses his office before December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Temporary absences, caretaker roles, or mere resignation announcements do not count as permanent removal. Readers often mistake the deadline for the end of 2027 instead of late 2026.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
