Issue No (75) 763May 25 - 31, 2009 Main tendencies of political weekMain directions of informational interpretations last week were still linked to activities of the state leaders. Vladimir Putin noticeably increased his presence on the political field compared to the previous period; he made some moves of a clearly ideological character. The brightest example was the laying of flowers in the Donskoy Monastery on the graves of historical persons who had sovereign and patriotic but non-communistic views. Thus, Vladimir Putin made it clear that he still was one of the leading political figures in the country, its national leader with his own political and ideological, not just social and economic doctrine. The Russian president kept combining his predecessor’s course with a new style. Last week this was demonstrated by promulgation of the budget address and a meeting with representatives of the business community. As far as the first case is concerned, the head of state preferred to draw attention to the document previously considered only ‘technical’. Probably it was specially made to highlight the new social and economic course pursued by state authorities during the crisis that was reflected in the block conditionally called “10 planks” similar to the president’s political reforms. The meeting with businessmen was interesting from at least two points of view. Firstly, it was attended by businessmen only, not by representatives of business trade unions. Secondly, from the point of view of the communication style, this was rather a lively dialogue in which the president carefully considered quite specific issues of the economy’s functioning. The president’s meeting with LDPR activists last week finished the series of such meetings with representatives of parliamentary parties. As it turned out, they were mostly concerned by two issues – cutting the election threshold to the State Duma and providing equal access of all parliamentary parties to the mass media. The first issue is likely to be raised at the president’s expected meeting with representatives of non-parliamentary parties. Major events May 25, 2009 - May 31, 2009
