Initially observers in Russia and the West were firmly convinced that the newly elected head of the Kremlin administration, Dmitry Medvedev, would only be a “puppet president” under the excessively powerful head of government Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile, however, most experts have changed their minds. In his speeches and interviews Medvedev announces a correction in Russia’s political and economic policies. He could—albeit not immediately—become “emancipated” from his role as Putin’s Crown Prince. Medvedev does not have his roots in the secret services, he belongs to the post-communist Perestroika generation.
