Russia needs a pure statesman at this point, who'll be able to release control on local judicial levels. In short, pay the judges and local law enforcement good money as they clean up all the corruption.
Russia still has the mentality to strip the country resources and get the fuck out of dodge.

This is kinda how I figure it is.. Putin was the right guy for their country "at the time" however now it's becoming clear to the people of Russia that he has no intentions of stepping to the side.
Personally, I understood it to be a Putin controlled Russia even with Medvedevas as President. To me that whole deal was more like a bullshit move for the cameras. I mean
While they are calling it so called democracy, I see the pair of these guys mainly Putin as nothing more than a dictatorship with out the title. It's just pretty clear he isn't gonna step aside and let anyone take his power away.
Kinda like anyone with a brain understood Dick Cheney was running the show during Bush Jr's first term in the white house.
