Medvedev possibly running for president for the second time. by Milota Sidorova

Just before he left for Norway, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said he would run for the presidential chair for the second time. Now, when he has reached the midpoint of his presidency, it has logically come to counting and reviews. Medvedev decided to let the world know that under positive circumstances he would run for president again. But he conditioned it with the satisfaction of Russian people and achieving some results before the office is regularly over. This decision, obviously raised speculation about current Prime Minister Putin's presidency. According to them, Medvedev was a break free between Putin's governance.The truth is, general image of Putin is exceedi! ng Medvedev who is still seen as a half puppet of Putin's political decisions. This relation ship is not equal, although, it was Medvedev who was able to open U.S.-Russian talks, not only on nuclear issues. Medvedev, compared to Putin doesn't look so autocratic, or at least able to lead the dialogue. But this is also double sharp blade. It doesn't mean Medvedev would be a weak president. So far, he was able to meet many one-sided profit deals in the countries, once satellites or parts of the USSR. The feelings of superpower and Russian dominancy is still visible in all foreign talks here in the Middle Europe.So far, Putin didn't comment whether he would run for president again. According France 24, Medvedev would be a good catch even after 2012. Medvedev said, he would love to do it, but would be also able to step aside stronger rival. Who would that be except of Putin himself, one can only guess.
