The Medvedev-Putin Tandem - Challenges and How They Solve Them

Tuesday 2 September 2008

Participants

Lilia Shevtsova, Senior Associate, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Type: Fee-paying or special invitation events

14 August was Dmitri Medvedev's 100th day in office as President of Russia. Dvoevlastiye (dual power) with Prime Minister Putin has clearly not worked out as Medvedev might have wished with Putin's role as prominent as doubters warned. This has clearly been seen in the recent crisis in the Caucasus, but the Kremlin's renewed agenda in its domestic affairs has also shown the West that Russia's modus operandi has changed little with the passing of the presidential baton.

This event is strictly by invitation only.
