Allerdings sind die Finanz- und Wirtschafts- probleme ungelöst. Dementsprechend kann die Führung der Bevölkerung auf lange Sicht die soziale Sta- bilität nicht garantieren. In dieser Situation, in der die Administration den politischen Prozess kontrolliert, aber befürchtet, dass die ökonomischen und sozialen Probleme überhand nehmen, beginnt das Putinsche Zentrum den Apparat umzubauen.

Carol R. Saivetz MIT Center for International Studies s Vladimir Putin nears the end of his second term as Russian Apresident, it is clear that energy exports have become a major component of a resurgent Russia’s foreign policy.

Additionally, as the January 2006 cut-off of gas to Ukraine, the January 2007 oil and gas cut-off to Belarus, and Gazprom’s threat (again) to Ukraine in the wake of the September 2007 parliamentary elections indicate, Russia is willing to use its resources for political purposes. The conventional wisdom continues that none of this is surprising. Putin acceded to the Russian presidency resolved to restore Russia’s superpower status and to use energy Center for International Studies to that end.
