Presidential Candidate gives Russia Hope

Russian Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin, declared his candidacy for president at a United Russia Party Congress meeting. He announced that his running mate would be the current president, Dmitry Medvedev. While some people would say that this move would set Russia up for disaster, the majority of speculators claim that this could be a sign of stability for Russia’s finances.

It is hard to say what the exact effect of Putin’s candidacy will be considering that the majority of provided information is speculative. On one hand, you have people saying that Putin is a tyrant whose actions produce little to no result. On the other hand, you have the people praising Putin and Medvedev’s alliance and welcome a potential economic rise. Putin’s campaign is being built on the idea of strong economic growth, but he warns that the steps to economic prosperity would be unpopular. Since the presidential terms in Russia have changed from the usual four years to six years, Putin’s election could mean that he would be elected to an unchallengeable state of power. This could mean disaster or prosperity for Russia; only time will tell is the Russian people have made the right decision.
