Putin's Nominee Approved As New Prime Minister Of Russia

posted by Anna-Maria Müller at 14h08 GMT on Sep 14

After the Russian Prime Minister and Russia's cabinet resigned on Wednesday - three months ahead of parliamentary and six months before presidential elections - the Parliament confirmed Putin's nominee as the new Prime Minister today. The soon-to-be Prime Minister, Viktor Zubkov, emphasized Russia's defense industry as well as its mineral wealth and agricultural development in his most recent speeches, indicating that he will follow up on President Putin's agenda.

Read more about the fast rise of Viktor Zubkov and some political background on Al Jazeera, in The Hindu, Mail & Guardian, Times online and BBC News online. Find out more about the candidate on Reuters and about Russian politics by watching our documentary: For God, Tsar and Fatherland.

If anyone wants to know more about the background to this, I can't recommend the writing of Anna Politkovskaya enough - her diary is wonderful on Zubkov.
