Credit: Reuters/Dmitry Astakhov/RIA Novosti/Kremlin THIS IMAGE HAS BEEN SUPPLIED BY A THIRD PARTY. IT IS DISTRIBUTED, EXACTLY AS RECEIVED BY REUTERS, AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS By Guy Faulconbridge MOSCOW | Tue May 17, 2011 3:00pm EDT MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev could shed more light on whether he or Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will run in the 2012 presidential election Wednesday, when he holds his biggest news conference since taking office. Putin and Medvedev have declined to say which of them will run in the election next March but a majority of Russians still regard Putin as the paramount leader, three years after steering his protege into the Kremlin. Medvedev, 45, has presented himself as an alternative to the 58-year-old former KGB spy and the two men have exchanged public jibes in recent weeks, fuelling speculation that Medvedev is positioning himself to seek a second term. "Medvedev will try to show he is not simply a 'yes man' but that he is almost an equal to Putin," said a trader at a Western investment bank in Moscow, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Medvedev is trying to show that he is in command, to show the elite and Putin that he is a viable candidate for the presidency." More than 800 journalists are accredited for the news conference, an unusually large media event for Medvedev. He will personally chair the 0900 GMT news conference at the Skolkovo School of Management which was founded in 2006 with the approval of then-President Putin to train a new generation of business leaders. Skolkovo is at the heart of Medvedev's ambitious plans to diversify Russia's $1.5 trillion economy away from dependence on the export of natural resources by boosting the share of high-technology products. Medvedev has used talk of modernization to portray himself as a candidate of change who can offer a more modern view of Russian development than that proposed by Putin, who steered him into the presidency in 2008. The president plugged the news conference in his microblog on Twitter. "I'll be speaking with journalists at Skolkovo tomorrow. Whoever is interested -- watch. It starts at 1 p.m.," he wrote. The Kremlin has not said what kind of questions Medvedev will take. He is likely to be asked about relations with Putin after the two men differed in recent weeks on issues such as Libya and the fate of jailed oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
