ADVERTISEMENT Medvedev's refusal to dismiss the idea of a second term came amid frenzied speculation about the intentions of strongman prime minister Vladimir Putin, who many believe is plotting a return to the Kremlim. "Some time ago I did not intend to stand for president," Medvedev said, referring to his emergence from relative obscurity to sweep the 2008 polls. "But fate worked out that way and therefore I'm not going to guess in advance and I do not exclude anything," Russian news agencies quoted him as telling members of an elite discussion group. Medvedev's powerful mentor and predecessor, Putin, left the Kremlin last year but has never ruled out another shot at the presidency. Putin last week said that he and Medvedev would not compete against each other in 2012, saying that Russia's ruling tandem were men of the "same blood" and prompting speculation that the prime minister would run again. Thanks to constitutional changes pushed through by Medvedev, from 2012 a Russian president will have a six-year mandate rather than the current four years. That move has been seen as paving Putin's way back to the Kremlin. Beyond stating clearly that he did not rule out running in 2012, Medvedev offered few insights into his thinking for the future, cloaking his comments with vague generalities. Describing himself as a "consistent" man, Medvedev said it was simpler not to predict what would happen in the future. "As far as my plans are concerned, how I formulate them, you can be sure: I will not be indifferent to my own future," he added enigmatically. Medvedev noted that Putin had the "highest poll rating" but noted that his own was "not bad". He added that if this were not the case "then other people would be in our place". "This does not mean that we are deciding something in advance, but as responsible people we must agree on some questions with each other," he added. Medvedev was widely seen as a puppet of Putin when he took power in May 2008 and analysts still believe the prime minister holds the real power in the country. Yet Medvedev has also been moving to carve out his own niche, talking up drives against alcoholism and drug abuse and giving interviews to liberal media outlets that would have been unthinkable under Putin.
