PUTIN'S NEW RUSSIA
President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putting, throughout the eight-year term of his presidency, remained an unpredictable and mysterious political figure for both Russian and foreign analyzers. All the forecasts and theories about the policy of Vladimir Putin, which occurred during the years, have proved inconsistent one by one. Putin performed actions, which were unexpected and hard to understand for the West. Last of those actions was leading the "Unite Russia" party on the 2007 parliamentary elections.
Thus, the elections have taken place and that can be considered a crucial historical event, as Putin's "Unite Russia" party won the overwhelming majority of the votes. According to the preliminary results, published by the Central Electoral Committee (the final results are to be published on December 7 or 8), "Unite Russia" gained 64,1%, the Communist Party - 11,6%, the Liberal-Democrat party - 8,2%, and "Just Russia" party - 7,8%. The rest of the participant partiec did not overcome the 7% barrier.
However, it is clear, that the majority of the Russian citizens' votes was given rather to Vladimir Putin, that the party itself. The parliamentary elections can be also taken for a kind of "referendum", which proved that the population of the Russian Federation for the most part supports the President and his "new national program".
The elections showed that Putin, due to the support of the population, is most likely to prove able of bringing to life his program of strengthening Russia and restoring its place among the greatest and mightiest states of the world. To be noted, Russia is one of the political players that cannot remain on the backstage, as otherwise Russia may lose the whole political sovereignty and repeat the fate of the Soviet Union.
This notion is well realized by Putin's government, and that is why it is so unpopular in the West, unlike the Government of Putin's predecessor, Boris Yeltsin. The West, in its turn, perfectly realize that in case of the success of Putin's programs, they will have to restore the historical tradition of taking into account the position of the Kremlin in all their actions.
At present the plans of President Putin and the scenarios of political developments in Russia seem more or less clear. The only mystery that still remains is the question Putin's successor. It is quite possible that none of the political figures, now considered top candidates (Prime Minister Zubkov, Vice-Prime Ministers Ivanov and Medvediev), shall be suggested by Putin as his successor.
The victory of Putin's party may cause different attitudes and comments in different regions of the world. However, Armenia must consider beneficial the strengthening of its strategic partner. Having a powerful and predictable neighbor at side is in the interests of any state.
