I have been watching closely and have noticed that Medvedev has been very quiet since the G-8, G-20 and American excursion. I sense a lot of thinking on his part going on. These quiet times are always conjunctive with spurts of Putin expressing himself for several weeks…

Putin is out and about right now. He has a large amount of projects as Prime Minister and he uses these moments to attract attention his way to divert from Medvedev…

Windows to Russia!
