Vladimir Putin’s election campaign team has launched a website with a detailed program that includes promotion of national interests on the international arena and attractiveness of Russia for foreign tourists and businesspeople.

­The website is accessible at www.putin2012.ru and features Vladimir Putin’s elections program, biography, experience, interests, events and the “people’s opinion page” with feedback.

The program, personally written by Putin during the New Year holidays, outlines his plans to fighting poverty, corruption and low effectiveness of Russian enterprises. The solution lies in modernization of the economy and in raising the living standards in the Russian Federation, the document reads.

The program also stresses the importance of establishing the stability in Russia especially given the current unstable situation in the World. For this, Putin suggests continuing the work with the integration projects in the former Soviet space, such as the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, and the future Eurasian Union – the multi-national bloc lying between Western Europe and the nations of the East.

Putin also writes that he supports international cooperation and dialogue in international affairs and that setting the rules of the game in international politics without consulting Russia was unacceptable. He also promised “adequate reaction” for all single-sided steps made by Russia’s partners.

The program states that Russia’s military forces must receive greater state support and become combat-ready, professional and mobile with capability to repel the whole spectrum of the existing threats.

Additionally, Putin’s program stresses the importance of such political system where the authorities are accountable before the society. Real mechanisms of public control must appear in such sensitive fields as state tenders, infrastructure and communal services.

The deadline for presidential candidates who want to submit their applications to the Central Elections Commission is set for January 18. The presidential elections are scheduled for March 4, 2012.

Had a have a Russian passport, I would've voted for PUTIN with my both hands. He was the only good ruler for this unfortunate country, he achieved a lot and he runs for the Presidents again - not for his own glory (his place in history IS secured already, and after his PEAK years he won't reach another peak, it just does not happen. He realizes that unforotunately righ now, there is nobody on the horizon who is cut for the task. I pray that this land of endless talent will produce enough wonderful statesmen in the near future, but right now - it's Putin! "No" to selfish oligarchs who want to buy their spot in history.

New World Order
Your not-so-secret-agenda is to use Russians to get back at the US...You couldn't care less about Russians or Slavic people in general.Americans have never killed any Russians directly even during the Cold War...However Islamists have killed Russian civilians, women, children & police for NATO.. on numerous occasi ons....The Islamists also joined NATO to destroy the fellow Slavic nation of Yugoslavia and attempted to separate&nbs p;Chechnya from Russia....Quite simply Muslims like 'New World Order' cannot be trusted because their motive is completely disi ngenuous..Understand this. Muslims have proven today & through the ages that they are completely untrustworthy allies...Russians know this...After 9/11 NATO (finally)knows this...China knows this..and India knows this....Africans know this...and Asians from the Philippines   to Thailand know this.....

PR1oh1 Whereas the neo-fascists of today do not wish to learn the Russian culture, or language, or tradition or its grand history but only want to bring chaos and disorder, I have deep and forever lasting love for Russia, it is people, culture, tradition, films, grand poetic literature. I do not look to Hollywood when I want to experience cinematic moments- instead of Hollywood, I often watch classic Soviet films. I deeply admire the Russian people for their endurance, fortitude and poetic sensibilities but I am not Russian and I do not need to “infuse” myself into becoming a Russian. I do not care for money and I do not wish to gain from my positive feelings for the Russian culture and people. What I gain from experiencing Russian culture and people is more than enough. So I have no agenda. None.
