Putin Reloaded: Russian Presidential Elections and their Domestic and International Implications
On March 4, 2012, to little surprise of the observers, Vladimir Putin came back to the office of the President of the Russian Federation. This seemingly ordinary event, nevertheless, is interesting because Mr. Putin never really left power when he swapped it for the office of the Prime Minister in 2008. If he is successfully to complete his third term in office, which expires in 2018, Mr. Putin will equal years in power of the late Soviet Communist leader Leonid Brezhnev. What implications will Putin's coming back to the forefront have for Russia and the rest of the world?

The great Mexican novelist, intellectual and essayist Carlos Fuentes passed away today at the age of 83. An intellectual and cultural powerhouse, Fuentes' reputation North of the border was cemented with the publication of his fictitious take on Ambrose Bierce's missing years, The Old Gringo, in 1985. Many widely acclaimed books followed, including The Death of Artemio Cruz and The Eagle's Throne. An outspoken social critic who could write beautifully and never shied away from a bawdy joke, Fuentes' writing chronicled and defined Mexico throughout its most turbulent decades while forging a unique literary world of its own. Extensive obituaries can be found online at The New York Times and several hundred other sites.
