Where is Russia going?
by Natalia Holvova
According to preliminary parliamentary election in Russia results it is clear that Putin's party United Russia won. It seems that president has got more that 63 percent of all counted votes which insure his stable place in Russian politics even after he leaves the office in a year. Russian constitution does not allow him to run for third period of presidency but there are kind of rumors that he could be "national leader". This is only prediction, there is nothing like a function of "national leader" yet. If Russia wants him to stay the leader, I am sure they will find the way how to keep him there. Even though Putin seems like total leader, there are undeniable benefits for the country he brought. His way of the oil and gas trade is eventually making money for the national budget and the country is doing much better now. He does not want to be the U. S. ally anymore. He wants to build Russian empire on its own that is able to compete with other world superpower! West world maybe does not agree with his way but he is a part of the country and even there are some shadows above the election legality he is the leader! Russia is huge country with great potential and there was no one for years to improve this potential and get back the fame and glory that Russia used to have in a past. This man is at least doing something and nobody has to agree if people are happy with this.
