	Russian News - Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The appointments of Medvedev and Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov, who was also made a deputy prime minister in the shake-up, are being seen as a sign that the two are possible candidates to succeed Putin in 2008.
		Questions about the effect that Medvedev's switch to the Cabinet might have on government policy were left unanswered Thursday, but his appointment could lead to a reduction in Fradkov's powers, and a shift in decision-making from the presidential administration to the White House government headquarters.
		By moving next to Fradkov, Ivanov appeared to have displaced Cabinet chief of staff Sergei Naryshkin, and possibly Industry and Energy Minister Viktor Khristenko, who was absent Thursday because he was accompanying Putin on a visit to Turkey.

		Fradkov survived the fall of the Soviet Union and remained in government through the 1990s, when he served as President Boris Yeltsin's foreign trade minister.

		MOSCOW (AP) — President Vladimir Putin on Monday nominated Mikhail Fradkov, a former tax police chief who is Russia's representative to the European Union, for the post of prime minister.

		“Mikhail Fradkov is, of course, a decent yet at the same time a very cautious man. He is civil servant in a good sense, a good administrator.
		Mikhail Delyagin, the director of the Institute for Problems of Globalization, is convinced that “Fradkov has a great common sense, is a conscientious, accurate, efficient and a loyal man, who does not seek public attention… Considering all that no one will ever make him a political prime minister, he is a technical prime minister.”
		In his opinion, Fradkov’s appointment is “quite an adequate move that gives a positive sign for moderate liberals and is not likely to radicalize the situation in the country”.

		Russia’s customs agency is under the control of Mikhail Fradkov, the Prime Minister, whose presence at the height of Russian power has always seemed something of a surprise, even to him.
		Mr Fradkov is, it seems, the classic Soviet bureaucrat, always happier putting off a decision rather than risk taking responsibility for a mistake.
		Fradkov is a very convenient person for not to be a real power during following president's elections, in fact he doesn't have ambitions for it.
