By Farid Masood • May 10th, 2008 • Category: Misc • (3,231 views) • 4 CommentsIn an extraordinary session of the lower house of parliament (Russia), Putin was confirmed as prime minister by 392 votes against 56 (Geo News).
He has the experience under his belt being the President of Russia, now he is going to be the premier of his country. This assignment shall add more points to his bio-data.
As president of his country, his reforms have made him eligible for next post. If he is elected as Prime Minister he shall set an example for our president to become Prime Minister of Pakistan after 2012 or we can consider the import of Putin as Prime Minister of Pakistan

A Tsar Is Born
By Adi Ignatius
No one is born with a stare like Vladimir Putin’s. The Russian President’s pale blue eyes are so cool, so devoid of emotion that the stare must have begun as an affect, the gesture of someone who understood that power might be achieved by the suppression of ordinary needs, like blinking. The affect is now seamless, which makes talking to the Russian President not just exhausting but often chilling. It’s a gaze that says, I’m in charge.
Elected Emperor
Putin has said that next spring, at the end of his second term as President, he will assume the nominally lesser role of Prime Minister. In fact, having nominated his loyal former chief of staff (and current Deputy Prime Minister) Dmitri Medvedev to succeed him as President, Putin will surely remain the supreme leader, master of Russia’s destiny, which will allow him to complete the job he started………
….. And Putin is far from done. The premiership is a perch that will allow him to become the longest-serving statesman among the great powers, long after such leaders as Bush and Tony Blair have faded from the scene. ……
A Ruthless Streak
Now that Putin has solidified his grip on power, he no longer seems overly concerned with courting Western approval. Despite a chorus of disapproving clucks from the West, Putin has shackled the press, muted the opposition, jailed tycoons who don’t pledge fealty. In Russia this has been a terrible time to be a democrat, a journalist, an independent businessman.
There is already a new Putin joke: Putin goes to a restaurant with Medvedev and orders a steak. The waiter asks, “And what about the vegetable?” Putin answers, “The vegetable will have steak too.”
“Putin wants to rule like Stalin but live like Abramovich,” he says, referring to Roman Abramovich, the billionaire Russian oil trader who owns London’s Chelsea soccer team. “Putin’s system is more like Mafia than democracy.”

The question is not clear enough.
Putin seems to have all the attributes that might suit the importers, but then such commodity is available a plenty locally and can perforform even better :
* “Putin’s system is more like Mafia than democracy.”
* “Putin wants to rule like Stalin but live like Abramovich”
* ” Putin has shackled the press, muted the opposition, jailed tycoons who don’t pledge fealty.”
* “In Russia this has been a terrible time to be a democrat, a journalist, an independent businessman.”
But of course, you can import him it is matter of choice.
