HAS ANYONE else noticed that Russia seems to hate letting others grab the international limelight? Its August invasion of Georgia occurred at the very moment China was basking in the glory of a spectacular opening ceremony at the Olympic games, diverting attention from a rival's achievement to its own regional power struggle. This week, as America and the world reveled in Barack Obama's historic victory, a change that many suggest has instantly boosted America's image around the globe, the Russians were at it again. On the day of Mr Obama's election, President Medvedev announced plans for the deployment of missilies in Kaliningrad, a Russian enclave in central Europe (prompting all sorts of references to John Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis). Now come news reports that Mr Medvedev ( here is the Economist story on his state-of-the-union speech) could be paving the way for Vladimir PUTIN's return to the presidency. Thursday's issue of Vedomosti , a respected financial daily newspaper, fleshed out this theory in all its conspiratorial glory. Citing an unnamed source close to the presidential administration, Vedomosti reported that PUTIN intentionally placed Medvedev in the presidency "to carry out the necessary constitutional changes and unpopular reforms for PUTIN to then return to the Kremlin for longer." The newspaper theorized that Medvedev would resign and call for a presidential election in 2009. While a spokesman for Mr P ... Source: www.dagbladet.no --- 12 days ago

By Owen Matthews and Anna Nemtsova The credit crisis now looks like it's going to hit banks and ordinary Russians hard--and it may strain Prime Minister Vladimir PUTIN's hold on power. Russia’s retail banking system is grinding slowly to a halt. Even Central Bank Chairman Sergei Ignatyev expects at least 70 Russian banks to go under. The larger-than-ever Russian middle class is feeling the credit crunch. Veronika Ponomareva, head of sales at the Moscow-based Calipso travel agency, says that she needed to make a quarterly transfer of $300,000 to the International Air Transport Association last week – but her bank told her they couldn’t draw on her account because of a lack of liquidity. “Too many people were withdrawing all their money, so the bank just didn’t have our money,” she says. “We had to run to our friends and borrow eight million rubles.” And Vladimir Ivanov, head of a small construction company in Nizhny Novgorod, complains that he cannot pay for materials because his bank needs at least a week to make a transfer. “Our leaders say they are pouring money in to stabilize the banking system,” he says. “But we do not feel it here. There must be someone in the middle using the situation in their favor." President Dmitry Medvedev tried to put a good face on the situation this weekend when we went on television to assure viewers that the “world financial crisis” could actually be an opportunity for companies to “improve manag ...

Who knew America had stopped being a democracy? Newsweek rounded up its own international editors to assess just how world-historical the election of Obama is. Mikhail Fishman , the editor of Newsweek Russia (or Russkiy Newsweek), suggested that President Bush and Russian leader Vladimir PUTIN are authoritarian mirror images, or at least PUTIN has played some version of Monkey See, Monkey Do in imitating Bush’s apparent destruction of America’s image as a beacon of democracy and freedom: Much has been said about how it's now time to leave the Bush years behind. Ironically, though, they could linger in Russia, where Vladimir PUTIN happily used Washington's arguments and methods to expand his personal control over Russian political institutions. Throughout the Bush administration, the Kremlin studiously followed the White House road map on how to make excuses for controversial actions and policies. 'Look at these guys in Washington,' was the constant message, 'they are doing the same thing down there we're doing here and still call it democracy!' One example: the Beslan hostage crisis and the war on terror. After the 2004 massacre that left hundreds dead at the Beslan school, PUTIN adopted much of Bush's post 9/11 rhetoric. More recently, government statements after the August incursion into Georgia used the Kosovo example as a pretext for announcing the independence of Abkhazia and Ossetia. PUTIN also likes to claim that U.S. cov ...
