Implementation problems of Vladimir Putin’s election program

The President’s best decision during his first year in office is the start of an anticorruption fight and the dismissal of Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov (replaced by the popular Sergei Shoigu).

Western elites fear the reemergence of the USSR for a reason – this prospect is based on objective political reality.

Valdai Club experts weigh in on Dmitry Medvedev’s interview with five TV channels

Experts believe that Medvedev used the interview not as an opportunity to tout his accomplishments as prime minister but to maintain and revitalize his image as a dynamic politician who is willing to speak on issues that go beyond his official responsibilities as prime minister.

Popular Front as hope for new national elite

The Popular Front must concentrate the national elite by attracting a group of politicians and public figures that enjoy the complete trust of the public and reflect the interests of all social strata of Russian society. The groups that voted for Vladimir Putin in March 2012 have a vital interest in its existence and development.
