Washington, March 10, TopNews of India – Vladimir Putin’s victory in the presidential elections “may be both Putin’s last and the final one for Putinism”, former US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice has said.
“The future turns on the behaviour of a rising Russian middle class that is integrated into the world and alienated by the Kremlin’s corrupt politics,” Rice was quoted as saying by the Washington Post.
“He has gotten his way, replacing his protege Dmitry Medvedev and reclaiming the Kremlin to solidify authoritarianism and political stagnation,” she said.
