Vedomosti: "Letters"

print

If one analyzes the system, “Putin" is a project, just like “Medvedev” is also a project. Like “Home 1”, “Home 2” or “Two Stars.” The difference between them is the teams involved in those projects. Perhaps the regular staff got a little tired of the “Putin” project having worked on it for ten years and would like to have a go at something else. On the other hand, the “Medvedev” project staff is new to the job, ambitious and would like to have more responsibility.

Two projects. Response to the article "The President's Mission: Dmitry Medvedev's Time" (#142 dated 03.08.2009, A4 page)

If one analyzes the system, "Putin" is a project, just like "Medvedev" is also a project. Like "Home 1", "Home 2" or "Two Stars." The difference between them is the teams involved in those projects. Perhaps the regular staff got a little tired of the "Putin" project having worked on it for ten years and would like to have a go at something else. On the other hand, the "Medvedev" project staff is new to the job, ambitious and would like to have more responsibility.

It is hard to say how things would have turned out if it had not been for the global financial crisis. It upset all their plans because neither project had planned for the crisis or was ready for it from the economic point of view. That is why both projects have to improvise: pre-set combinations do not work. But the "Putin" project was probably conceived as an anti-crisis project, and that's why it works better in extreme situations.
