You mean now? Putin, who else! United Russia discredited itself and now I feel that Putin will disband it.
Still, I feel I must enlighten you about sides in the current political struggle in Russia.
Putin is opposed not by those who waves 'Putin - go away' slogans on the streets. The *REAL* force who is trying to wrestle power from Putin is represented by these 'very nice' gentlemen (Medvedev was their candidate and a compromise Putin had to go for):
Oleg Deripaska
Suleyman Kerimov

and Alisher Usmanov

they provide the finance
plus political wing:
Anatoly Chubais

and Alexander Voloshin

Those, on the streets - are just a crowd of extras.
Never forget that politics really is a game about money, not freedom, better living standards or patriotism. Never forget that!
