Having Dmitry Medvedev as president might allow Vladimir Putin to retain a grip on power

Italian and German political analysts said they were surprised by Vladimir Putin's backing of a 'strong' presidential candidate, rather than a loyal supporter who would let him keep the reins of power.

Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev

Energy, Energy, Energy!!!!!!
Resources, Resources, Resources!!!!!

Calculated move by Putin? You bet your bottom dollar.

Securing Russia's future is NOW even brighter.

This should REALLY tee off Javier Solana, The U.S and Israel.

Putin could even come back AFTERWARDS through his successor (insert ominous music here).

European Think Tank experts are surprised but encouraged.

It's gonna be an expensive and cold winter in Europe, brrrrrr!

If someone can see if Medvedev is in the Codefinder I would be interested in your findings.
