| Description | Even as President Dmitry Medvedev mulls over a re-election bid, here is what I am willing to bet will happen in the 2012 vote.
On May 18, United Russia deputies in the St. Petersburg city legislature will strip Sergei Mironov, Federation Council speaker, of his mandate and top government job. This will ensure that A Just Russia fails to cross the 7 percent threshold in the December State Duma elections. (Mironov, who owes everything to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, sealed his fate three weeks ago when he announced that A Just Russia would not support Putin if United Russia nominated him to run for president.) |
