| | Vladimir Putin’s political advisors have done a good job: dismissal of the Cabinet and all subsequent events (nominating new Prime Minister and Cabinet members) will draw attention of the public exclusively to the President. | | | Alexander Veshnyakov said that Vladimir Putin’s decision to dismiss the government corresponds with Russian Constitution and legislation on elections. | | | In this case, opponents of Vladimir Putin (both in Russia and abroad) would have a brilliant opportunity to exploit the issue of “unfair” elections (like performing a boring play in a provincial theater). |

| | This judgment is based on the decision-making rules involved, the nature of the incumbent, and evidence that the sitting president was physically up to making the decision himself. | | | To argue that his last prime minister was nominated under duress therefore wants proving, particularly since the president quickly raised the stakes by designating Putin as his preferred successor as well. | | | This he did in the Duma election of December 19, 1999, by bringing his brand-new party, Unity, in just barely second to the communists, and by helping carry his allies, the Union of Right Forces, in as well. |
