	Asia Times: New prime minister faces immense challenges
		Russia's economic miracle may come only by the end of this decade, says Yevgeny Yasin, head of the Moscow-based School of Economics and a former Economy Minister, suggesting that Russia may achieve between 8 and 10 percent annual GDP growth rates by 2008-2010.
		But in the meantime, the prime minister is concentrating on his Cabinet, to be announced after he is confirmed in his position.
		Communications Minister Leonid Reiman is being tipped to become first deputy prime minister while economists Alexei Kudrin, first deputy Finance Minister, and German Gref are said to be the frontrunners for the post of deputy prime minister.

	Putin: From president to prime minister? - Boston.com
		While transferring power from the president to the prime minister would on the surface suggest a major change in the political system, the chief editor of Ekho Moskvy radio said it would make little difference in reality, comparing Putin's power to that of the czars or the Soviet-era Communist Party chiefs.
		He said the power could be effectively shifted to the prime minister without touching the constitution, by changing a law to transfer power over the Defense Ministry and law enforcement from president to premier.
		If he were to become president and Putin prime minister, Zubkov could be expected to cede as much power as demanded to Putin or step down to allow him to return to the presidency.
