VLADIMIR Putin is tipped to announce he will seek another term in the Kremlin – as Russia taunts the West with a model of the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created.<\/p>\n

The president, 71, is expected to confirm he will stand for re-election at an exhibition titled "Russia" showcasing his achievements.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

On display at the exhibition, opening on Saturday, is a model of the notorious 50-megaton Tsar Bomba detonated in 1961.<\/p>\n

Aptly nicknamed the "King of Bombs", the city-destroyer was designed to show Soviet scientists had caught up with the US in destructive power<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The infamous megabomb, capable of flattening a city and killing millions, has 3,300 times more energy<\/span> than the nuclear bomb that fell on Hiroshima.<\/p>\n

Its unveiling coincides with Putin's reported readiness to restart nuclear tests in the Arctic on archipelago Novaya Zemlya, where the Tsar AN602 thermonuclear aerial bomb was unleashed.<\/p>\n

The president has already revoked Russia's ratification of a 1996 treaty that banned the testing of nuclear weapons, and ordered his defence minister Sergei Shoigu to be ready to resume tests.<\/p>\n

Shoigu visited the Arctic nuclear testing facilities in August.<\/p>\n

Some have taken the display of the Cold War-era bomb at this week's Russia exhibition as a signal of the country's hostility to the West, which has demanded Putin refrain from restarting nuclear tests.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Putin\u00a0test-fired a Satan-2 ICBM and vowed to\u00a0boost his "nuclear triad".<\/p>\n

Close aides of Putin want him to intimidate the Ukraine-supporting West with a jolt to the 1961 Tsar Bomba test which, according to its final report, allowed the design of a nuclear device "of practically unlimited power".<\/p>\n

Head of the Kurchatov nuclear institute and longtime friend of Putin's, Mikhail Kovalchuk, said: "I think this is a correct idea."<\/p>\n

Others have urged Putin to unleash hypersonic nuclear weapons on Ukraine or the West.<\/p>\n

UN chief Antonio Guterres has previously tried to persuade the tyrant to "step back from the brink" of nuclear conflict.<\/p>\n

About 130 nuclear tests – including 88 atmospheric, three underwater, and 39 underground – were conducted on Novaya Zemlya between September 21, 1955 and October 24, 1990.<\/p>\n

The shock wave from the Tsar Bomba circled the Earth three times and the nuclear mushroom rose above the stratosphere, with glass blown out in houses nearly 800km away.<\/p>\n

Measurements show the blast yield was 50 megatons, equivalent to 50 million tons of TNT.<\/p>\n

Speculation is intense that Putin will imminently announce he will seek a new six-year term in office in elections due in March 2024.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin is currently hand-picking candidates who will be permitted to stand against Putin, giving the pretence of an open election.<\/p>\n

Key opposition figures such as anti-corruption and anti-war campaigner Alexei Navalny are jailed for decades to come, while another, ex-deputy premier Boris Nemtsov, was assassinated.<\/p>\n

Putin signed a law in April 2021 that would allow him to potentially stay in power until 2036.<\/p>\n
