Opposition has grown extremely loud and active in Russia after the rigged duma elections. Tomorrow will not be extremely interesting in terms of surprises in the Russian presidential elections. Putin, obviously, will re-assume the presidential office, what is interesting is what will happen after he has. Will the opposition grow louder? Can Putin re-invent himself in an attempt to press seemingly progressive democratic policies in an attempt to calm the opposition? Or will he become increasingly conservative. There are several questions and only so few answers. It seems as if all actors in Russian politics are holding their cars hidden, thus far. Then of course the opposition has already asked, and been given permission, to hold a demonstration days after the presidential elections. It will be interesting to see the nature of those demonstrations. Most importantly Kremlin has to avoid the duma election disaster by any means.
An extra ordinary speech held by Putin on the 23th of February 2012. Putin rarely holds speeches like this in public amongst people.
Putin has been using his triumph cards wisely in recent times by loading those buses with country people to hold massive demonstrations of his own. He appears to be enjoying overwhelming support outside the federal cities of Russia. However it appears economical advances are not enough for a growing and louder city dweller opposition in Russia.
