Kremlin allies have called for Vladimir Putin to be addressed as the country's 'Ruler' rather than his current title 'President'. 

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR) has suggested the use of Pravitel, a Russian title, as it is more befitting of Putin's status and role.

WNU Editor: The Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR) does have a point. The title "President" does not feel right in Russian. I personally prefer the Russian title "glava gosudarstva" (глава государства) which means "Head of State". But considering what is happening in Russia today, I think the Russian government has more important things to do.
