Medvedev's Feckless Government

In an opinion editorial in The Moscow Times, Ekho Moskvy radio political talk show host Yulia Latynina argues that Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s new Russian government is destined to be feckless. Many prominent individuals from the previous government have been moved to the presidential administration where they remain close to President Vladimir Putin and the centre of power, thus making the presidential administration more politically important than the Cabinet.
