The article considers Russia, focusing on Prime Minister and presidential candidate Vladimir Putin. It is noted that Putin is expected to be easily elected on March 4, 2012, in large part due to weak and divided opposition candidates. Public opinion polls indicating a decline in support for Putin and his United Russia political party, especially among older poor people, are discussed as indications of changes in political attitudes in Russia in favor of reforms to end political corruption.
