Vladimir Putin reveals intention to become the Russian President again

This last Saturday, Vladimir Putin announced his intention to become president after the elections of March 2012.

The strong man of Russia could theoretically result in a constitutional reform extending the presidential term from four to six-year stay on as president until 2024.

If this decision does not transform the political landscape, Mr. Putin is always remained the central figure of the regime, some officials have nonetheless disagreed with this scenario, especially the Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin, the apostle of control expenses
and is respected by foreign investors.

"I do not see myself in a new government. No one has also proposed anything. I think that I dispute, will not allow me to be part of, "the minister said, quoted by Russian news agencies from Washington where he participated in a meeting of the G20.

Kudrin, who heads the Department of Finance since 2000 and the election of Putin in the Kremlin, said "unconditionally refuse" to serve in a government led by Mr. Dmitry Medvedev because he opposed an increase in budget spending.

"This will create additional risks to the budget and the economy.This means that we can not reduce our deficit, "he said, noting that in such circumstances, Russia will be even more dependent on its oil exports, with revenues feed the economy.

Conversely, economic adviser to Mr. Medvedev, Arkady Dvorkovich he has expressed disappointment on Saturday against the return of Vladimir Putin announced.

"There is no reason to rejoice," he wrote on his Twitter account.Faced with such news is "a good time to zap to watch a sports channel," still found Mr. Dvorkovich.

The spokesman for Mr. Putin, Dmitri Peskov said he was late Saturday that "if a person disagrees with the strategic choices of the tandem, it will leave the team."

Dmitry Medvedev, a lawyer of 46 years, has cultivated during his tenure the image of a modern man, keen on new technologies expected to determine a position with that of Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer for 58 years.

But the Russian president is really never left the shadow of his mentor, to whom he owes his entire career.

Russian analysts agree that the case for the return of Mr. Putin has confirmed that he had never let go of the rudder and no major policy change is to be expected.
