Last time I vouch for you Mitya

Figures that right after I post about how Putin's not really running things it seems that, at least with regards to Foreign Policy, Putin will be running things. This is a huge reversal in Russian precedent, the Prime Minister has generally focused on domestic stuff. No more.

I don't think this necessarily means that Putin is the real master, yet, but it does indicate that there may be a power struggle developing.

And who knows, maybe the Czech debacle and the G8 summit catalyzed this.
