As I said, I am not really convinced that they want to use the shield against Iran, but rather, against Russia, so it would kind of beat the point.<BR/><BR/>As for Putin, I think it's too late to start a debate over a constitutional amendment, though, as I read on a Russian newspaper about a year ago, as majority of Russians would like to see that happen. I think it's more likely that Putin will become a power behind the throne, maybe head of Gazprom. Or, it is also quite likely that he will drop out of politics all together and relax a bit. It must be a real drain running this huge place.<BR/><BR/>The CPRF on the other hand are a social-democratic formation of bureaucrats that is thoroughly opportunistic. I don't really think they've got any prospects other than becoming officially a social democratic party, unless of course the Grantites manage to take it over and turn into a revolutionary trotskyist party (lol)Korakioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593180610210015493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900670482368277699.post-67285679493775507882007-06-09T09:12:00.000+00:002007-06-09T09:12:00.000+00:00I'm wondering:1.

Will Putin really step down, or are we about to see what "the West" fears - that he'll become prez for life / the national bourgeoisie will become even more intransigent?<BR/><BR/>3. What are the prospects of the CPRF, who would appear to be the more likely opposition force than the Other Russia campaign?Charlie Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770820928636046622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900670482368277699.post-57070281501845041792007-06-06T00:24:00.000+00:002007-06-06T00:24:00.000+00:00Why thank you :)Why thank you :)Korakioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593180610210015493noreply@blogger.com
