　　Putin said that it has not yet been determined whether he or his close ally Medvedev will run for the presidency after the expiration of the current four-year term of office.


　　In an interview with Japanese media, Putin said: "President Medvedev and I will decide what to do in the future according to the effectiveness of our work."


　　He also said: "My relationship with President Medvedev is very harmonious. We have our own duties and division of labor. Of course, at this level, problems often appear alternately. "


　　In recent months, some commentators have said that Medvedev has been trying to push Russia to a more liberal and less authoritarian path. But skeptics point out that the difference between the two leaders is only reflected in their style.


　　Putin said on the 10th that the current economic crisis hitting Russia will determine which of them will win in 2012. Putin said: "I have known Medvedev for a long time, and I know that he will decide his political future according to national interests."


　　The relationship between Medvedev and Putin is still confusing. They met in the office of the mayor of St. Petersburg in the early 1990s, and Putin appointed Medvedev as his successor in autumn 2007. (Editor: Tao Zhipeng)
