Unconventional wisdom about Russia

Posted by Matt in July 1st, 2008

My impression is that a new phase of Russian politics is under way. The statement that the president designs foreign and security policy, and the prime minister implements parts of it, has become the mantra of Russian officials from Medvedev and Putin down. I encountered no Russian in or out of government who doubted that some kind of redistribution of power is taking place, although they were uncertain of its outcome.

Putin, Medvedev at Post-Election Rally
President-Elect Medvedev: Hello Russia! Hello Moscow! Good evening, friends! Today is a special day. And despite this unpleasant snow falling from the sky, it is still a special day in our country's life. We are choosing a course of development for a term — for quite a long term — into the future. And we have a chance to develop ourselves the way we've been developing ourselves during the last years — to strengthen stability, to improve the quality of life, and to move forward with the plan we've been using all these years. And I'm sure that it is this road we should take. We have every chance for it. And today we had elections — elections in which you participated. I wanted to thank everyone who voted for me.

The Putin-Medvedev political force - 01 Mar 08
Russians will vote to choose a successor to Vladimir Putin, the current president. The country will have more than 96,000 polling stations open across 11 time zones. Many are certain that Dmitri Medvedev, Putin's handpicked protege, will win the elections. In turn, Medvedev is promising Putin a position as prime minister if he wins.

Putin's People - Russia
Feb 2008 Profile fo Dmitri Medvedev, Putin's chosen successor. The result of next month's Russian elections may be a forgone conclusion but a real power struggle is taking place. It's occurring not on the campaign trail but behind closed Kremlin doors. In temperatures of -23°c, Mikhail Kasyanov, Russia's only independent Presidential candidate, is trying to rally support. Banned from holding meetings indoors, he's forced to deliver his speech on the street, where he's an easy target for Putin's fans. Putin's presidency may be coming to an end but his power and influence are not. His anointed successor, Dmitry Medvedev, is likely to appoint him Prime Minister. But by endorsing Medvedev, Putin has alienated the KGB and FSB stalwarts who backed his rise to power. Led by Igor Sechin, Deputy...

Medvedev or Putin: who holds real power in Russia?
It has been more than four months since Dmitri Medvedev was inaugurated as Russia's new president yet questions persist over who really wields power in Russia. Even before Mr. Medvedev's predecessor, Vladimir Putin, left office, he made clear he wanted to remain in power -- and he was appointed Prime Minister by President Medvedev. In this post, some observers say Mr. Putin's leadership role in the country's political and economic decision-making has not changed since the time he was president. Anya Ardayeva reports from Moscow.
