April 11, 2012 Russia_Putin reports results of his premiership to State Duma
Prime Minister and President-elect Vladimir Putin summarized his government's performance over the past four years in a planned speech to the State Duma, the lower house of parliament, on Wednesday.
He said that in his first presidential decree he will announce the roadmaps for his election initiatives and outlined five priorities, the demographic problem being top of the list.
He said Russia's economic growth exceeds that of any of the G8 countries and is among the highest on the global scale.
Putin pointed out that the Russian economy must grow qualitatively and be prepared for any external shocks.
Responding to a question in the State Duma about Russia-Libya relations, the Russian prime minister said the new Libyan administration is giving signals indicating interest in resuming economic cooperation with Russia, but it might be a difficult process as the country may just disintegrate.
On the subject of Russia's membership of the WTO, Putin said the move to WTO membership will help to speed up the innovative development of the national economy. In particular, he pointed out that after joining the WTO, Russia should follow the example of those countries that did the same, not carelessly or to no avail, but managed to squeeze out the maximum benefits for their development.
In describing NATO, Vladimir Putin called it a vestige of the Cold War era, which sometimes pokes its nose into where it should not, but sometimes plays a stabilizing role.
On being asked to comment on the situation in Astrakhan where ex-candidate for Astrakhan mayor Oleg Shein of the Fair Russia party announced a hunger strike to protest against the outcome of the recent mayoral elections, Vladimir Putin said that Shein should appeal to court.
After that, the Fair Russia party's parliamentary faction, led by the party chief Sergey Mironov, left the State Duma in a sign of discontent with Putin's account of the situation in Astrakhan.
A State Duma deputy also asked Vladimir Putin about the possibility of removing the word consecutive from the provision of the constitution dealing with two presidential terms. Putin backed the idea.
The prime minister has also called for considerable expansion of the range of leaders declaring their incomes.

In mid-March, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced that Russia had reacted positively to Turkish request to shorten the delivery of the S-400. The first delivery of the SAM will happen in 2019.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the beginning of the withdrawal of militants from their last stronghold in Eastern Guta - the city of Duma.

Russia - Duma rejects START II disarmament treaty
T/I: 11:15:15
Washington's hopes that the Russian Duma (lower house of parliament) would ratify the START II disarmament treaty were set back on Thursday (30/04) when Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov said his faction would not even discuss it. Communist deputies, who make up one third of the Duma, say they will try and prevent ratification of the treaty to halve Russian and US strategic nuclear arsenals.
The US Senate ratified START II in 1996, but the Duma has refused to approve it, many deputies arguing that Russia cannot meet the financial cost of destroying the weapons.

RUSSIA: PRESIDENT YELTSIN IN HOSPITAL WITH VIRAL INFECTION UPDATE
Russian/Eng/Nat
Following doctors' orders, the Kremlin says Russian President Boris Yeltsin will skip his weekly radio address.
Yeltsin was hospitalised on Wednesday with what aides describe as a viral infection.
On Thursday, state television showed a tired-looking Yeltsin meeting with his advisers.
This is the sanatorium outside Moscow where Russian President Boris Yeltsin is said to be suffering from an acute respiratory infection.
A tired looking Yeltsin appeared in pictures released by Russian television on Thursday.
The footage showed the Russian president walking normally and talking to his chief of staff, Valentin Yumashev.
Kremlin officials said on Thursday he was experiencing some discomfort, and had cancelled his weekly radio address.
Politicians at Russia's State Duma have been giving their reaction to this latest illness.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
We have already said that after such an operation he cannot possibly be healthy. The President is clearly disabled in every aspect of the word.
SUPER CAPTION: Gennady Zyuganov, Communist Party leader
Aides had earlier tried to play down concern about Yeltsin's health, saying on Wednesday that he would make the weekly address on Friday.
The president's heart surgeon, who has been candid about the state of Yeltsin's health in the past, insisted the president was not suffering from heart problems and his overall health was good.
Despite past heart trouble - which the government tried to conceal by saying the President had a cold - officials insist Yeltsin's condition is not serious and the two weeks in hospital is just a precaution.
Liberal Deputy Alexei Arbatov compared the panic surrounding it to Soviet inertia, saying it was normal for the country to overreact to a leader's illness because of Russia's long history of authoritarian heads of state.
He said Russia's democratic institutions were now strong enough to withstand leadership change.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
All this panic which has now stirred up around this event is an inertia from Soviet days. When a leader fell ill everyone immediately got concerned what would happen with the state and so on. Now Russia has democratic procedures in case President Yeltsin has to stay for a longer time. Everything will continue working.
SUPER CAPTION: Alexei Arbatov, Liberal Duma Deputy
If Yeltsin were to be incapacitated or die, the constitution provides for elections within three months.
Opposition figures used the news of Yeltsin's illness to renew their calls for him to step down from office.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Regarding the health of the President, I am not so concerned with his physical health but his mental health, his ability to make decisions and run the country. It is clear that he is not in any condition to make real decisions. This to me is the most dangerous thing for Russia.
SUPER CAPTION: Victor Ilyukhin, Communist Deputy
Russia's beleaguered stock market fell even further on Thursday with the news of Yeltsin's hospitalisation.
After two turbulent months which have seen Russian stocks plummet by more than 40 per cent, the market dropped even further at the news of Yeltsin's illness.
On Wednesday, when the announcement was first made, stocks fell by five per cent.
They fell another six per cent on Thursday but then climbed slightly after the president was shown on national television looking tired but able-bodied.
Market analysts expect the market to continue to fall as long as Yeltsin remains in the hospital.

Russia - Russia's lower house of parliament ratifies Kyoto protocol
APTN
Moscow - 22 Oct 2004
Russia's lower house of parliament ratified the Kyoto Protocol on global warming on Friday, moving the sweeping environmental pact to the threshold of taking effect and marking a major victory in the worldwide campaign to cut down on greenhouse gases. The State Duma voted 334-73 to approve the treaty giving industrialised nations eight years to cut their collective emissions of six key greenhouse gases to 5.2 percent below 1990 levels. Once approved by Russia's upper house and president Vladimir Putin - which is all but expected - the pact will have been ratified by the necessary 55 countries that accounted for at least 55 percent of global emissions in 1990. Without Russia's ratification, that would have been impossible because the United States declined to ratify.

STORYLINE:
Russia's lower house of parliament ratified the Kyoto Protocol on global warming on Friday, moving the sweeping environmental pact to the threshold of taking effect and marking a major victory in the worldwide campaign to cut down on greenhouse gases.
The State Duma voted 334-73 to approve the treaty giving industrialised nations eight years to cut their collective emissions of six key greenhouse gases to 5.2 percent below 1990 levels.
Once approved by Russia's upper house and president Vladimir Putin - which is all but expected - the pact will have been ratified by the necessary 55 countries that accounted for at least 55 percent of global emissions in 1990.
Without Russia's ratification, that would have been impossible because the United States declined to ratify.
The United States alone accounted for 36 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in 1990; Russia accounts for another 17 percent.
Although presidential economic adviser Andrei Illarionov fiercely opposed the pact, Putin vowed in May to speed up ratification in return for the European Union's support of Russia's bid to join the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
Environmental groups have criticised both the United States and the other major industrialised holdout, Australia, for not approving the protocol.

Zemsky Sobor
The zemsky sobor was the first Russian parliament of the feudal Estates type, in the 16th and 17th centuries. The term roughly means assembly of the land.
It could be summoned either by tsar, or patriarch, or the Boyar Duma. Three categories of population, comparable to the Estates-General of France but with the numbering of the first two Estates reversed, participated in the assembly:
Nobility and high bureaucracy, including the Boyar Duma.
The Holy Sobor of high Orthodox clergy.
Representatives of merchants and townspeople (third estate).
The first zemsky sobor was held by tsar Ivan the Terrible in 1549. During his reign he held a number of such gatherings and they became a common tool used to enact major pieces of legislation or to decide controversial issues. Although the Sobors were primarily a tool used to rubberstamp decisions that Ivan had already made, sometimes initiative was taken by the lower nobility and townsfolk. For instance, the tsar was scandalized when the assembly of 1566 asked him to abolish the Oprichnina.
When the Rurik Dynasty died out in 1598 it was a sobor that appointed Boris Godunov as the next tsar. Another grand council, featuring even peasants, elected Mikhail Romanov to take the throne in 1613 after the Time of Troubles. During Mikhail's reign, when the Romanov dynasty was still weak, such assemblies were summoned annually.
Once the Romanovs were firmly in power, however, the sobor gradually lost its power. A major council assembled to ratify the Treaty of Pereyaslav in 1654 was the last for thirty years. The last sobors were held by the great Galitzine in 1682, to abolish the mestnichestvo, and in 1684, to ratify the Eternal Peace with Poland.
1922 Zemsky Sobor of Amur region
Four years after the death of the last Russian tsar, on July 23, 1922, General M.K. Dieterichs of the Far Eastern White Army convened the Zemsky Sobor of Amur region in Vladivostok. This sobor, calling to all Russian people to repent for the overthrow of the tsar, reinstituted a monarchy by naming Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaievich Romanov as tsar. Patriarch Tikhon (who was not present; neither was the Grand Duke) was named as the honorary chairman of the sobor. Two months later the Amur region fell to the Bolsheviks.
