In ((http://www.kommersant.ru/doc.html?docId=619764 interview)) the Kommersant newspaper, State Duma Chairman Boris Gryzlov said about the imminent appearance of the project, which will be presented for consideration by the Supreme Council of the Union on November 15. One version of the reasons for the acceleration of the process is the Kremlin’s desire to solve the “2008 problem” hanging over Vladimir Putin. According to the new project, the Union will be led by a council of two presidents. The need to establish the post of Union President was also confirmed by Pavel Borodin, who had recently confidently denied it.
