    Claim: The Komi Republic's 1996 power-sharing agreement was abolished on 20 May 2002, part of a broader pattern in which the great majority of the 46 Yeltsin-era power-sharing treaties with Russian federal subjects, signed between 1994 and 1998, were terminated between 2001 and 2002 following Vladimir Putin's 2000 election and his overhaul of the federal system.
