one of the main points that president medvedev made today was that it's well he really isn't done with politics just yet no of course he will step down in the role of president but he has said he hinted that perhaps he could appear on the ballot paper again going to see me office now. that to me a putin has said should he be elected as president in march his elections then he will make to me to get if his prime minister something which may get if they accept it though it did as has said that no matter what happens in the elections in march he will remain in politics now he also said that he was willing to meet with the leadership of the opposition leadership and leaders behind protests which took place following the pala men tree elections we saw in december here in russia now he said he wasn't willing to meet with individual protesters but that organizes those people behind the protests that he was willing to sit down with them and discuss their grievances though this was an address by the president to a group of journalism students at a moscow university plenty things that were being

producing any leader any political leader other than let him put himself even the more most loyal medvedev didn't. decided. not to run for the second presidential term and i would make a wild guess that this was a device planted reputed so why is it happening this way. because that's current of tradition of russian monarchy. of one leader. told about debates. talking about tibet. the only one only one case is the. future president took part in the debates in russia it was in one nine hundred ninety. s. i'm not a russian as you know and this was it was up but it was russia yes but not us and. said yes. there is. only one case so and for that. this. power what the. pyramid of power. does not allow to become a new leaders who is it well i mean i'm not discussing these systems is it right for russia to have such a system good of course it's not right and they don't i mean for russia for the specific russian system of control. is inadequate this is not consistent you know the problem was that at the beginning of ninety's we see of course when we see this transformation from seoul with aims to a

president medvedev has even threatened to redeploy missiles. >> in a typical soviet tradition, putins pinning the blame on an external enemy, using the u.s.a., for example. he seems to think he only has enemies abroad. >> putin inspects a shipyard in st. petersburg. appearances like this are designed to show how close he is to ordinary citizens. his supporters say he has brought stability and economic growth to russia. putin takes every opportunity to warn against too much freedom, equating it with chaos, claiming it could threaten the progress russia has made so far. >> what if we see the representatives on television tearing each other's hair out and beating and spitting at each other, like we some in the 1990's? that is still going on in neighboring countries. if we were to see that, the state could not work effectively. >> putin's critics say his this -- stability is actually st agnation. the economy is still heavily dependent on oil and gas while capitalists are fleeing the country. >> russia today resembles the soviet union of the 1980's, when the governing elite started to rea
