13/09/2007 | Moscow News, №36 2007

President Vladimir Putin accepted Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov's resignation on Wednesday, immediately naming the obscure Viktor Zubkov to take his place in a surprise move that set off a new round of guessing games on who would succeed President Putin in 2008.

In a televised meeting with the President Wednesday, Fradkov submitted his resignation in order to facilitate the process of forming a new government for the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections. Putin commended him for an outstanding job in office and went on to agree with his decision to resign. According to the Russian constitution, Putin had two weeks to choose a new prime minister who would then be approved by parliament. But Putin's choice was made just hours after the resignation.

"It's better to make certain cadre decisions now, to take certain steps in modernizing the government system to avoid faults connected to major changes," RIA Novosti quoted Putin as saying on Thursday, "but also to show the development vector, the structure of administrational and executive power in the period after the elections." Although his candidacy has yet to be approved at a Duma session Friday, Zubkov has already announced plans. "The government structure is not very effective," he told journalists Thursday. "That is why structural changes are inevitable."

In initial reports, politicians and experts agreed that whoever headed the new cabinet was the likeliest figure to succeed the President. In this context, Putin was expected to name first vice Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov, who has long stood out as one of the likely successors, to the post of Prime Minister.
