When the news broke – together with the lesser news that the incumbent, Dmitri Medvedev, will step down to become Putin’s prime minister – I wanted to scream, I told you so.I have always been puzzled by the naïveté of analysts, in Russia and abroad, who believed that Putin would never be so bold as to make a mockery of Russia’s electoral system by reclaiming the presidency.
Cuando&nbsp;se conoció la noticia&nbsp;-junto con la noticia&nbsp;menor&nbsp;de que el titular actual,&nbsp;Dmitri&nbsp;Medvédev, dejará el cargo&nbsp;para convertirse en&nbsp;primer ministro&nbsp;de Putin-&nbsp;me entraron ganas de gritar "os lo dije".
