Medvedev wins Russia's presidential election

As expected, Dmitri Medvedev has won Russia's presidential election with more than 70 percent of the vote. How will Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and the new president divide the power between themselves?

La Libre Belgique - Bélgica

Philippe Paquet wonders in his editorial "What were we able to observe on Sunday, [March 2nd] in Moscow? Nothing, apart from the sad spectacle of a large (theoretically) European country indulging in a parody of democracy. Among the achievements Putin's eight years in power are credited with, one of the most important is to have restored to a certain degree the honour of a nation that had been pretty much humiliated by the collapse of the USSR and the trials and tribulations of the Yeltsin era, during which social poverty and a mafia stronghold went hand in hand. Today Russia has regained its power and lustre. But if it is once again inspring fear, it has yet to inspire admiration." (03/03/2008)

La Repubblica - Italia

The editorialist Sandro Viola ponders Medvedev's victory in the elections. "For the first time since the Bolshevik Revolution, Russia is going to have a very different president. Medvedev is not a revolutionary by profession, nor a party member, or a product of bureaucracy. He isn't a former KGB or Army official either. With his training and knowledge of the economical world, he might be taken for a western politician. But he owes his entire career to Putin. Will he be able to act independently ? ... It is too early to say. Let us already note that his manner differs from Putin's, that he hasn't the smugness of Putin. Of course we cannot base hypotheses on somebody's appearance. But an appeasement of relations with the west is conceivable". (03/03/2008)

Népszabadság - Hungría

Endre Aczél predicts that the government will now take on a more influential role in Russia. "Since the break-up of the Soviet Union, the government has been merely a bureaucratic entity. Money and influence could not be acquired through the government, but only from outside it. ... But now, with Vladimir Putin, you have a man at the head of the government who is not a bureaucrat but embodies power. Therefore it will be interesting to observe how Medvedev's attempts at independence come up against an obstacle that did not exist previously: the government." (03/03/2008)

Open Democracy - Gran Bretaña

Nicolai N. Petro teaches international politics at the University of Rhode Island. He writes that Putin's politics in the 1990s involved "re-establishing central authority, forging a 'unified legal space,' shoring up the domestic economy, ... laying the foundations for an independent foreign policy. In all these areas, Medvedev not only agreed with Putin's policies - he played a key role in formulating them. Now that the situation in the country has stabilised, however, he feels that it is time to shift the focus from consolidation to liberalisation. ... The watchwords of Medvedev's approach to politics, both then and now, are 'flexibility' and 'pragmatism.' This perspective casts severe doubt on the conventional view of Medvedev as a lackey blindly carrying out Putin's bidding - but also on the notion that he will develop policies at odds with those that he has been carrying out over the past seven years."

Postimees - Estonia

It's not yet clear what direction Russia's foreign policy will take under the new president, the newspaper writes: "For the West and for Estonia it's important to know how power will be distributed between Putin and Medvedev, and consequently how relations with Russia will develop. When Yeltsin succeeded Gorbachev there weren't many changes because relations were more or less stable. But since Putin took power in 2000, relations have cooled considerably. That Medvedev is seen as more liberal that Putin doesn't mean much. It's far too early to talk of a breakthrough in our relations with Russia." (03/03/2008)
