We have now two presidents in Russia: old one is Mister Putin and a new one, appointed on March 2, Mister Medvedev. That idiocy will be formally ended on May 7, when Mr. Medvedev will be inaugurated in Kremlin’s seat. But nevertheless, for more than two months, Russia was headed by two presidents.
As to Putin’s in his first years of presidency to Mr. Medvedev also could be addressed banal questions: “Who is Mister Medvedev?” Because Mr. Medvedev is not a political figure, he is a practically unknown bureaucrat, one of a huge crowd of bureaucrats surrounding Putin. As Putin himself is a small bureaucrat, one from a huge crowd of “chinovniks” surrounding Yeltsin. If the elected president had been named Zyuganov or Yavlinski or Kasparov or even Limonov, nobody in Russia would have asked a question: “Who is that man?” Because these are political leaders, actors in Russian political play. They are known to general population. Mr. Medvedev, on the contrary, is not known, or wasn’t known, at all. Mr. Medvedev is not a leader of political party, he is not a member of political party, so he is not a political man. We can guess that he is a member of Putin’s circle of close friends, a member of some inner circle. If he is to be appointed to the post of guarding of their interests, we are guessing that Mr. Medvedev is trusted by Mr. Putin’s group and Mr. Putin himself.

Correction Appended
It began inauspiciously. On a frozen afternoon in late November, as Moscow was draped with blocklong plastic billboards, banners and flags, each proclaiming a variation on a single theme — “POBEDA PUTINA — POBEDA ROSSII!” (“A Victory for Putin Is a Victory for Russia”) — a few thousand Russians converged on the city center for a rare act of political theater. It seemed, at first, like a tableau from the last days of the U.S.S.R., those heady months when glasnost swelled the streets with protesters. A handful of dissidents stood on a flatbed truck; a jumble of loudspeakers were stacked below; the crew of foreign reporters vastly outnumbered the local press; and across the way, the secret policemen with their unseen amplifiers were drowning the protest in canned laughter and Soviet waltzes.

Masked men wielding baseball bats and gas pistols, several of whom were wearing T-shirts bearing the emblem of the pro-Kremlin youth group Nashi, attacked a group of National Bolshevik Party activists Monday night, activists who witnessed the incident said Tuesday.
The attack, which witnesses said lasted only a few minutes, left three people hospitalized. Opposition youth activists and political leaders accused Nashi of carrying out a well-planned attack against the Kremlin’s political opponents and warned of an escalating conflict. Nashi, or Us, which has condemned radical youth groups as “fascists” and proclaimed them to be its primary political foes, denied any connection to the attack. (more…)

// Who was behind the attack on the National Bolsheviks
Patriot Games
Late Monday night, an attack was made on radical leftist youth in Moscow. They were shot with stun guns and beaten with baseball bats. Four members of the National Bolshevik Party were hospitalized. The victims are blaming the pro-presidential Nashi (Ours) group for the attack, although that group denies any involvement. At the police station where the attackers were taken, all information about them has been declared secret and the attackers themselves released. Kommersant has been able to obtain a list of the arrestees, however. It can be gathered from an examination of that list that the attackers were part of an organized group of fans of the Spartak team that has been suspected of having ties with Nashi.

1.So, the V congress of our party took place. Moscow’s police and the special services breathed with relief and got sleep at last. Above (somewhere above) obviously the decision was taken not to counteract us, avoid a confrontation with us. One journalist accredited on the congress expressed the opinion that the power took seriously my announcement on a November 24th press conference that “the congress will be carried out even if we’re going to be shoot at”. We proved the firmness of our organization, we turned out to be stronger than ever the Russian Popular Unity was in 1999 when they were not allowed to have a congress and the delegates obediently returned home. That trick didn’t work with us. The congress took place and demonstrated our strength. About eight hundred national-bolsheviks declared about their strength in Moscow on November 28th, 29th, 30th and December 1st. (more…)

The campaign to clean up electioneering by Russia’s top electoral official, Alexander Veshnyakov, has got off to a bad start. As he closed a five-day conference involving 27 political parties at the Manezh exhibition centre in Moscow, the mud-slinging, or rather the mayonnaise-slinging, began.
