and the power sharing challenges the kremlin is experiencing. tim of the colton professor and chairman of the department of government at harvard university and an expert on russia says our questions today thank you very much for joining us mr colton you're a regular participant of the discussions club this serious topic is russia's history and future development why do you think russia is so interested in history today twenty a town more than it was say ten years ago i think it reflects a trend which is not just russian but a think this whole part of the world. history has come back so to say you know after the collapse of the old system of the soviet system there was of course much ferment about history at that time understandably but then as the post the

transition period developed it seemed more practical concerns about economic hard times and social issues and russia china and all sorts of burning questions and history was kind of moved to the back burner there were other things that seemed more pressing. but it didn't stay that way to history kind of came back and partly it's the effect of. your neighbors in the neighborhood the tremendous full of countries that also have historical dilemma dilemma's many of which are about their relationship with russia and so even if russians wanted to leave history alone. your ukrainian polish and the stone in another neighbors don't want that and so they press you in a sense on the historical questions you mention three countries russia poland and ukraine which of the three do you think have problems with self or didn't if it takes i'm not sure it's sort of the problem of the suffolk beneficient if you think of it that were done at the ukrainians for sure because it's not not as homogeneous

this point or stony as so in ukraine. maybe a little bit like rush or. history is very divisive whereas in poland this would be perhaps less the case but just to go back to what i said a moment ago it's not just about these external pressures on you i think russians themselves and not everybody by any means but more than ten years ago let's say find themselves drifting back to history your bookstores now have more history books than ever before and specifically twentieth century history this was where communism started. and communism had its good points but it also obviously had its many very bad points and it is in analyzing them you're looking at yourselves so it's not to the poles can say that the russians did this to us but you can't say that it forces you to look carefully and sometimes very painfully at the losses of the soviet period so

a lot of it's just about that i think communism is has rather unexpectedly returned to the agenda and you see europe your leaders talking about putin with his prime minister putin with his interventions on cotton. and relation with poland of course majed of maybe has been less active but he's made one very dramatic statements in october two thousand and eight and it seems as if he takes this very seriously how would you assess the effectiveness of russia's current ruling tandem with the president dmitry medvedev and prime minister vladimir putin sharing power well power sharing is not unique phenomenon to russia found in many other countries. and presidential constitutions that also have a prime minister as a separate senior leader are found now in many parts of the world fifty or sixty countries. but what's unusual here i think is that it's the former president the

dominant. leader for. years who became the junior partner so to say under the constitution that's very unusual maybe almost unique so imagine a president former president of france becoming prime minister later this is almost unheard of so that's what makes this all a bit of a mystery and they don't really tell us much about how it really works mr putin. in fact i think is tired of answering questions about this but i think they've said what they're going to say they say it works well that they have a trust for a relationship but they're in regular contact one has his job the other one has another job and up to a point i believe that i mean i think you know they it's lasted. almost three years and. clearly they have managed to cooperate on many many issues president medvedev

has now carrying out a well publicized drive for him with their new zation and diversification of russia's economy what was else have you seen so far i've seen very few and most of my russian friends say they've seen very few as well. and you know his call for modernization was not just about the economy but it's even broader so it's a very grand idea it's not a new idea because most of russia's leaders including yeltsin and putin before him also thought they had a program for modernization although they didn't necessarily use the word as much as he does but some sources of russia's. economic problems i think live very deep in the including corruption within soprani rights well i think it requires a more fundamental reform of the legal system of the institutions it requires greater openness it requires a more competitive political system you have it seems to me in many ways a very dynamic and admirable society and a great culture but you have

a very backward state and you have to fix this. dade and how do you think russia did in hundley the financial crisis you know i think i would give them a pretty good grade of foreign russian terms you see here the effects of some rather smart things that the putin people did saving this money putting it away in a. fund that could be used to get over hard times so i think you have to give them pretty good marks for managing the crisis but what the crisis has done it seems to me is revealed at a deeper level the underlying structural problems that were not necessarily the result of the crisis it just showed you know in a way how bad things are in the auto industry for example now you have. industries that are more dependent on government support than ever mr putin the other day mentioned tariffs for the auto industry and that's that's sort of a twentieth century solution. and did might provide some protection but the future

for all of us is i think more open economies where you can compete apart from the corner which meets diversification obviously of what other big challenges will the russian government be facing over the next few years well it depends what you mean by challenges i mean this particular group has been in power for a decade and they are quite smart reasonable people and clearly a very high objective for them is just to remain in control and i think that for them that probably is the biggest challenge and they have proven to be very smart at doing that but i think the long term consequences for the country of a you know a governing structure which has a monopoly and then surrounded by really political relics of the one nine hundred ninety s. communist party of journalistic and so forth these are not contemporary they don't give the ruling group competition it needs competition to innovate to thrive and to move forward and it's not getting that and what about security

threats like islamic radicalism ok i'm glad you raised that other that's a serious matter of course and. the north caucasus problem generally has clearly become. more inflamed in the last several years it's no longer just a trial but rather a whole region and your government is used to variety of approaches and sometimes they're great people one another. there is a security response of course armed forces some of which is absolutely necessary and i would support if i were russian there's an economic development program. but it seems to lack energy and coordination this year a bloody revolution unseated the ruling regime in kyrgyzstan and interim government is now in place with parliamentary elections do you toba this yet what are the most important points the current administration should remember as a tries to build a democratic future for the country maybe even deeper i mean what the kirghiz leaders now talk about is whether it can survive as a society let alone as

a democracy which seems quite out of the question right now how many times can you do it the wrong way and this is the second time in five years that the overthrow of a government but a lot of the pain about whether russia should have intervened in the events in kyrgyzstan what's your take on that i actually was surprised at the time i thought that they would have your government would would have said yes but it didn't there may be things that went on surrounding kurdistan that are secret for example there i think were a lot of communications between russia and the united states on this issue there was a proposal apparently that the two of them send peacekeepers together. but this was rejected because it would be seen as too provocative the united states and russia in a sit in the situation where you have a lot of radical islam in play but i don't think this is. the gave us once and for all i think russia will be drawn into kyrgyzstan into central asia more

generally kurdistan i soon will join the customs union as it seems to want to do. i . i think russia's presence in kyrgyzstan and president is probably going to increase in the rest of central asia are probably going to decrease we've seen a real you know rather small between russia and the united states of america recent date but one of the problems the two countries haven't. well we've seen progress definitely and last year when i'm not involved the new obama administration had announced this reset policy but it was still very early stages and there had been really no successes at all today we you know it looks quite different both sides of learned to i think look at the point of view of the other side and the policy has moderated we have an arms control agreement all but so many things that i had i mean there's a question of whether the united states will even ratify the agreement because we're going to have a congressional election in november where the opposition may gain control over the

congress so that and that's only the beginning i mean the agenda is very wide and very deep and there's been limited progress which is good but it's it's only the beginning we're talking here about it would take ten years to work through these things in terms of what is next i think russian admission to the w t o i mean i think that would be finally a promise that was delivered on that we know is important to russia that will have good consequences for russia like it did for trying to help modernize your economy that i think there's reason to be optimistic that finally this is going to happen and that would open up a whole other front then for interaction which i think would be very good mr colton thanks very much for your insight.
