Credit: Reuters/Vladimir Konstantinov MOSCOW | Thu Oct 21, 2010 3:19pm EDT MOSCOW (Reuters) - Prime Minister Vladimir Putin should not stand in Russia's 2012 presidential election so that President Dmitry Medvedev can fulfill his modernization drive, the head of Medvedev's think-tank said on Thursday. Medvedev and Putin have both hinted that one of them but not both will run in the election, with the winner likely to guide Russia's development over the next 12 years due to the extension of the president's term in office. Igor Yurgens, the head of INSOR think-tank, which is chaired by Medvedev, praised Putin for stabilizing Russia but said his return to the Kremlin in 2012 would lead to stagnation. Putin served as president from 2000 to 2008, when he had to step down after the maximum two consecutive terms, and Medvedev, a protege, was his hand-picked successor. Putin remains Russia's most powerful and popular politician. "I am sure he (Putin) can win this election in a breeze. But I am also sure that he should not stand," Yurgens said in an interview published by the Kommersant daily. "We need a modernization leap. Such a leap is associated with Medvedev, both in the West and inside the country," he said, urging Putin to make "a sacrifice" to clear the way for Medvedev. "Vladimir Putin is more popular among conservative voters who like stability, discipline, order. Medvedev is popular among liberal voters who like change, progress, movement forward." Yurgens is seen as one of the architects of Medvedev's modernization drive. His remarks betrayed growing tension between the Medvedev and Putin camps seeking to nudge their bosses to stand in the 2012 election. Yurgens, who has no formal position in the Kremlin's administration, has made a number of controversial statements in support of Medvedev, who never publicly dismissed any of them. Yurgens said that in 2009 he proposed a left-leaning Just Russia party as a platform for Medvedev to counterbalance the dominance of Putin's United Russia party, which holds a majority in parliament. Yurgens said the two leaders could then have both run for president with separate agendas, creating genuine political competition. He said his proposal was rejected and there was no time left before 2012 to create a new party for Medvedev.
