Will Mr. Ivanov be the next President of Russia?
Recent changes in Russian gov last week intrigued Russian elite even more. First deputy Prime minister Dmitry Medvedev seemed to be a favorite in President election next year but Sergey Ivanov has been promoted to the exactly same level. Medvedev and Ivanov will rotate as a head of Russian gov when current Prime Minister is absent. Both candidates, Medvedev and Ivanov, are market and western oriented. We will see what happens soon but in both cases there is no much indication that there will be any major political course corrections in Russia next 8-9 years.

i agree in substance, but maybe a "kinder, gentler" russia, at least in p.r. can be expected.
right, when Secretaries of Defense exchange words, it's one situation. When a President says something - it's a different spin..
As Roger Daltry would say-"meet the new boss, same as the old boss...."
