Putin Says He'll Be Prime Minister

"If the citizens of Russia elected Dmitry Medvedev, I would be ready to continue our joint work as prime minister, without changing the distribution of authority" between the positions, Putin said.
Monday's announcement came a few days after Putin led a delegation to the neighboring Belarus, to discuss long-stalled plans for a merger of Russia and the former Soviet republic. Those talks apparently made little headway.

Putin's acceptance of Medvedev's offer came amid reports of internal fighting between different factions in the Kremlin, led by rival figures tied to Russian intelligence and security agencies.

I agreed to some analysts view that Putin is the only figure in Russia capable of preventing the government from fracturing into rival camps of these powerful figures.Putin is able to stop current World Police USA form exploiting weaker governments around the world for its self centered activities.Some analysts say Putin plans to accept the prime minister's post only as a temporary measure. If Medvedev were to step down, Putin could — under the constitution — run again.

But by remaining in a prominent position, Putin could continue to exert his enormous influence and personal popularity to direct Russian affairs.

Putin elected as the world’s fifth most attractive politician in a Japan recently.
