With Putin as the Prime Minister and Medvedev as the President, Russia will see distribution of power between the Kremlin per se and the Government, suggests political analyst Tatyana Malkina.
“The good outcome of the new development will be that the government may become more independent and more executive power then it is now. Because the center of the power will be spread between the White House and the Kremlin. It will be healthier. It gives us hope that eventually there could be slightly impersonal system, which could be operating regardless of who is sitting in Kremlin,” Malkina said.
