This is among several amendments to Putin's proposed Constitution, which are expected to be decided for public vote.
Critics view these proposals as Putin's attempt to retain power after his presidential mandate ends in 2024.
This package of proposals includes even the proclamation of Russia's belief in God and a ban on giving Russia's territory.
The mission for territory will strengthen Russia's position in the Crimea A Ukrainian region, which he annexed in 2014 and the Kurdish Islands, controversial with Japan since World War II, according to Vladimir Mashkov, a prominent actor and director involved in drafting the new Constitution.
Putin also proposed a change for “historical truth”, to protect “the people's great achievement in protecting the homeland”.
Vladimir Putin is in his fourth presidential mandate, and is the dominant figure in Russian politics for the past 20 years. His presidency has been marked with the revival of Soviet-era symbols, conservative values and the influence of the Russian Orthodox Church.
