Looking at this scenario we can assume that President Putin...I mean Prime Minister Putin will win the next two elections essentially changing the Russian government from a democracy to the rule of the few.

The next Russian Elections-The beginning of the end for true Russian democracy.
In conducting my research I came across a recent article about the upcoming elections in Russia. The article pertains to my research because Russian P.M Putin declared that the presidential term will be extended from four to six years. P.M Putin also declared that he would be running for office again, with current President Medvedev becoming Prime Minister. The consensus is that Putin will hands-down win the election. It seems that there is no person capable of running against Mr. Putin, while some people hoped that President Medvedev would defend his position, he seems to be fine with taking a back-seat to Putin. This comes as no surprise however, since Medvedev rose to power with the backing of Putin, and remains merely a puppet.

Its not an election, we already know who is going to win. PUTIN! who else is going to run. Well besides from Gennady Zyuganov, but who really knows him. He will probably drop out before March (probably end up in a river if he doesn't)
