STORYLINE:
As Russian President Vladimir Putin marks two decades in power, he boasts about his achievements but remains coy about his political future - a reticence that fuels wild speculation about his intentions.
The Russian leader points at the revival of Russia's global clout highlighted by a Syria campaign, industrial modernisation, booming agricultural exports and a resurgent military as key results of his tenure that began on 31 December 1999.
On that day, Russia's first president, Boris Yeltsin, abruptly stepped down and named the former KGB officer his successor, paving way for his election three months later.
Critics accuse Putin of rolling back the nation's post-Soviet freedoms to establish tight control over the political scene, marginalize the opposition and stifle critical media.
They hold him responsible for tensions with the West after Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea, a move that bolstered his approval ratings, but triggered bruising US and European sanctions.
Kremlin watchers have been busy trying to predict what will happen after Putin's current six-year term ends in 2024.
They point at various options, but agree on one thing: Putin, Russia's longest-serving leader since Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, will likely stay at the helm.
A fitness fan, the 67-year old Russian leader appears in good shape to stay on.
He regularly practices judo, does mountain skiing and regularly plays ice hockey in a demonstration of his vigour.
He remains widely popular, although the propaganda effect of Crimea's annexation has worn off amid stagnant living standards, a rise in the retirement age and other domestic challenges.
Putin can easily use the rubber-stamp parliament to scrap term limits, but most observers expect him to take a less straightforward approach.
A law faculty graduate, the Russian leader prefers more delicate methods that have a democratic veneer.
Earlier this month, Putin hinted at possible constitutional amendments to re-distribute powers between the president, the Cabinet and parliament.
He didn't specify what changes could be made, but the announcement may herald his intention to trim presidential powers and continue ruling the country as prime minister.
There are other opportunities.
Kazakhstan's longtime leader Nursultan Nazarbayev offered an example this year, when he abruptly resigned and had his protege elected president in a snap vote.
At the same time, 79-year-old Nazarbayev retained his grip on power by securing a prominent position as head of the nation's security council.
There is another, more dramatic option.
Many in Russia's neighbour Belarus fear that the Kremlin could push for a full merger of the two ex-Soviet allies to allow Putin to become the head of a new unified state - the concerns fueled by Moscow's annexation of Crimea.
When asked recently if he ponders the move, Putin dodged the question.
Each of those potential options carries major risks for Putin.
He moved into the prime minister's seat in 2008-2012 after eight years as president to observe a constitutional limit of two consecutive terms, allowing his associate Dmitry Medvedev to take the top seat.
Putin continued calling the shots under Medvedev, who obediently stepped down after one term.
He benefited from his placeholder's move to extend the presidential term to six years, but still wasn't quite happy with the "tandem rule."
Putin was particularly critical of Medvedev's decision to let the United Nations give the go-ahead to a 2011 Western air campaign in Libya that helped oust longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi and plunged the country into chaos.
And at home, the announcement of Putin's return to the presidency sparked massive protests in Moscow in 2011-2012 and caused a rift in the elites.
Putin's aides suspected some of Medvedev's lieutenants of prodding their boss to stay for a second term and encouraging Moscow's protests.
Putin's statement this month about a possible tweak in the constitution to limit the president to just two terms altogether was widely interpreted as a signal that he was contemplating a possibility to tailor a new governing position for himself while trimming the authority of his successor.
If Putin chooses to become prime minister with new broad powers, it may raise other potential threats.
By empowering a parliamentary majority to name the prime minister, Putin would become more vulnerable because he will depend on the ruling party's performance.
While Putin's own approval ratings have remained high, the popularity of the main Kremlin-directed party, the United Russia, has plummeted and the president always has kept it at a distance.
A merger with Belarus to create a new leadership position is fraught with even greater risks.
The prospect may excite some Russians who dream about revival of the imperial glory but will be certain to trigger a strong resistance in Belarus and further antagonize the West.
Belarus' authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko, who has been in office for more than a quarter century, has vowed to uphold Belarus' post-Soviet independence.
While the Kremlin has sought to twist his arm by raising energy prices and cutting subsidies, Lukashenko has remained adamant and even warned recently that Russia's attempt to take over his country could trigger a war with NATO.
Whatever path Putin chooses, he's widely expected to keep his intentions secret until the very last moment.
