Will Putin and Medwedew show conflicting postions on a policy issue before July 31, 2008?
Settled as No
The two appear to have retained a united public front on policy issues.
Background:
Russian president-elect Dmitry Medvedev has predicted some people might try to challenge his presidency, the first acknowledgement of what could be a simmering turf war among Kremlin clans.
Kremlin-watchers say factions close to outgoing president Vladimir Putin are nervous about Medvedev running Russia and want to leave the way open for Putin to return if his replacement does not prove up to the job.
