Medvedev decided to rock with Putin

At the Congress of the United Russia party, it was decided to nominate in the future presidential elections leader Vladimir Putin, and the list of Unicorn in the parliamentary elections will be headed by President Dmitry Medvedev. It is reported by Interfax from the words of President Medvedev.

“I believe that it would be right for the congress to support the candidacy of the party chairman Vladimir Putin for the position of president of the country. Just Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin as the party chairman specially addressed me and the congress with a proposal to head the list of United Russia and I accept it, ”Medvedev said at the congress.

After winning the election, Medvedev plans to head the government. “I will be ready to continue work on modernizing the economy,” the president added.

Medvedev said that the idea of ​​Putin’s nomination appeared at the tandem when their “comradely union” was formed, but this was not announced, waiting for the right moment.

Putin, inviting Medvedev to head the party list, explained that the list of “United Russia” in the parliamentary elections is traditionally headed by the head of state, and now there is no reason to abandon traditions.

“I know that many colleagues suggested heading the list to me - I am very grateful for this. At the same time, I propose that the current head of state Dmitry Anatolievich Medvedev headed the party list to the State Duma. I think this will raise the authority of the party, ”Putin said. His words are given by a party site.

“I know that not only members of United Russia and our supporters, and here it is appropriate to say about it, are waiting for proposals for the structure of the authorities after the elections, and expect proposals from us. I want to say directly, an agreement on what to do, what to do in the future between us has reached several years ago. Both I, and Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev, we believe that this is not the main thing. Another thing is much more important - how do we work and what results we achieve. How our people react to what we do. ”

The prime minister also agreed with the president’s proposal to run for president of the country in the March 4, 2011 elections.

The speeches of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and the President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev allowed the main political intrigue of recent months, said Leonid Polyakov, head of the Department of General Political Science of the Higher School of Economics.

"The place and time for such statements were correctly chosen, the political scientist believes.
According to Polyakov, these statements for many have not become sensational. “Since 2008, when Medvedev only entered the presidential post, he had an agreement on cooperation with Vladimir Putin until 2012,” he said.

“Today, a tradition was supported when the ruling party in the State Duma elections is headed by the president of the country. Judging by how the congress participants met the proposal of Vladimir Putin, according to the results of a secret vote, it was Medvedev who will lead the United Russia to the elections, ”the expert said.

“In the event that the party wins, it will be able to work on the formation of the government, and Medvedev, respectively, will be able to become the Prime Minister of Russia,” Polyakov emphasized.

“The congress has become the central event of the political year,” the political scientist believes. “Now in the Russian political system all fears, fears and uncertainty regarding the future course of development of the country,” he said
