The headline Monday by Mikhail Prokhorov underlines the particular extent of the discontent with Putin, who has took over Russian politics to get a dozen years : first as leader, then as prime minister.
It comes on the high heels of Saturday's unprecedented countrywide protests against Putin and the party, United Italy. Tens of thousands of people accumulated in the streets to be able to denounce alleged election scams favoring United Russia throughout Dec. 4 parliamentary elections.
The actual fraud and the party's comparatively poor demonstrating in the elections - dropping about 20 percent of their seats, although it retained a narrow vast majority - galvanized long-marginalized resistance forces to execute a startling group of demonstrations, including a massive rally of at least 30,000 in Moscow on your own.
In yet another problem to Putin, his past finance minister, Alexei Kudrin, mentioned Monday he has been ready to work to make a new party.
At a news conference announcing his candidacy, Prokhorov refrained from demeaning Putin or President Dmitry Medvedev, however he said "society is waking up."
