RusEXIT for family time and avoid going to Arkansas or one of Bernie's gulags.

Medvedev, Vlad, or both?

[Grampa Dave]

Interesting.

Former, Prime Minister Medvedev, may have been reasonably close to Obama.

If so Obama might be a little concerned.

Putin Power Play, he remains in office until 2024 and will profoundly reshape the Parliament

[Mariner]

I, like everyone else is wondering what’s afoot...

May be something as simple as a constitutional change to allow Vlad to run again.

But I highly doubt it’s a dissolution of the legislative or judicial branches of their government.

All we know for sure is that in the end Vlad’s in charge.

Normally, I would horrified that this looked like a power play to stay in office... but then why also move to limit the power of the President? Is Putin seeking to become Prime Minister?

Putin isn’t (really) a Christian... but Medvedev governs moreso like one. His issues conflicts with Putin tend to be over moral issues, such as opposing abortion.
