Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian President, said in April 2011 that he would decide soon as to whether to seek re-election in 2012 and that it was time to draw a line under building state capitalism in the country. Painting himself as the candidate for change, Mr Medvedev underlined the differences between his style of rule and that of his predecessor and mentor, Vladimir Putin, the prime minister. However, on the 14 April 2011, Russia's ruling party, United Russia, declared it would be backing Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to return to the Kremlin in the 2012 elections. |
