Primakov predicts personnel changes in the Kremlin

“The president should have a team of like-minded persons sharing opinions of major aspects of today’s politics. The team is now being gathered round, and, naturally, those disagreed will be taken away from old haunts,” Yevgeni Primakov, head of Duma’s Fatherland All Russia faction said yesterday. In his words, the FAR faction “surely backs the president and the government over the issues where we see they act rightly.” At that, “we by no means necessarily back all the acts coming from the authorities.” Mr. Primakov added.
