Vladimir Putin (former Russian president from 2000-2008) has announced his bid for the 2012 Russian Presidency.
He believes that between Friday's Train Incident and the United States hindering Russia's ability to join the World Trade Organization, Russia needs strong leadership that he can provide.
Putin took a break from the presidency after two consecutive terms. After his announcement Putin held a four hour Q&A on the subject, and answered almost a hundred questions as to what he will do, how he will do it, and why he is the most eligible person to handle the state of the country.
According to a recent poll, Vladimir Putin has a 70% approval rating, almost 20% higher than that of Medvedev.
