Kremlin might kick out hardliners
A major power reshuffle might be in the making in Moscow. This week two prominent representatives of the power hardliners the socalled siloviki had to leave their posts.
Both head commander of the Russian Armed Forces, Mr. Yuri Baluyevskii and Vice Minister of Interior Aleksandr Chekalin were this week fired from their posts. Analysts now believe that several more hardliners soon might be forced to leave their jobs. Among them might be both head of the powerful FSB, Nikolay Petrushev and Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliev, Newsru.com reports with reference to several sources. The reshuffle in the Russian power structures might be seen as part of a new line of Dmitrii Medvedev.
