This week, The New Republic casts its broad eye towards Russian politics, saying that Medvedev will struggle to break free of Putin. While none of this is new, it is definitely worth a read.
"Medvedev--a professed headbanger who had had a box reserved at the Led Zeppelin reunion show in London on the day Putin named him his successor--got to live out a rock 'n' roll moment. He grabbed the mic and yelled "Privet, Rossiya! Privet, Moskva!" (the Russian equivalent of 'Hello, Cleveland')...This episode is likely to repeat, in one form or another, throughout the first months and even years of Medvedev's rule."
