 Well, Heather, there's an awful lot of news this past weekend for Europe, for the United States, and for the rest of the world. Of course, one of the big things that was the development that Vladimir Putin is indeed most likely going to be the next President of the Russian Federation with getting the support of the current President, Dmitry Medvedev, at the United Russia Party Congress a few days ago. I'm getting a lot of questions as to what this means for U.S.-Russia relations, what this means for Russian politics. My first answer is kind of, well, you know, it's not so much the Putin's returning. He never really left. While he's been in the prime minister position for the last four years, and de facto, de jure power lies in the office of the President, you know, I've always assumed that any significant decision on domestic policy or foreign policy was taken with the explicit support of Vladimir Putin. I think one of the biggest challenges for the Obama administration is developing the personal relationship. That's what's missing. Obama had a great relationship with Medvedev, and there's some things that they've said and done, and some things that come up through WikiLeaks, which there's going to be some damage to repair there. But I don't think that Mr. Putin is going to abandon the improvement of relations with the United States. There are important reasons for that. But how do you think this is being perceived in Europe? Well, I think exactly as President Obama spent a lot of his own personal time and political capital in building a strong relationship with President Medvedev, Angela Merkel and other European leaders did exactly the same. And they too have to work a little harder after the torch has passed to President Putin to re-establish those personal ties. I think in many ways they looked at Medvedev and they saw a potential reformer, a next-generation figure, and I think they invested in him because I think they felt that he could also perhaps encourage reforms, whether that's economic reforms, even perhaps democratic reforms. So I think both Europe and the United States are going to have to do a little more work and a little more follow-through after this change occurs. I think European leaders were struck by the timing of this announcement. Not that we weren't anticipating that this announcement would happen, but over the weekend where Europe and European leaders were focused here in Washington during the World Bank IMF meetings, and then of course this pretty public spat with the former fine minister Kudrin, really I think struck people that there would be some changes, there could be some reshuffling of the elite and I think for all of those criminologists, these are heady days because we're trying to figure out what does this mean, will it have an impact on future programs. Yeah I was certainly struck by the timing as well of course and my first explanation was that you know the Russian markets tanked at the end of the last week, but as did most markets in the world, but the Russian market lost about 15% of its value and I think maybe that was the catalyst to okay we need to provide a greater degree of political certainty, so let's make this announcement right now. I don't know whether they, perhaps they planned it, planned it early, but that was the first thought for me. You know Putin's got, he's got quite a challenge. You know he could have rode off into the sunset and with a very very strong legacy, but it's kind of risky for him to come back as well because the challenges that Russia faces are not insignificant and I don't think that the reform, the agenda, the so-called modernization agenda can be ignored. Russia's, the drivers of Russian growth, which propelled that growth in 1998 to 2008, those have been drying up and so I think he's going to have to return to that and in fact while he might have been regarded as Vladimir the stabilizer in the first eight or ten years, I think you know whether Russia really does need modernization and a modernizer and that's going to be his biggest challenge. Can he be Vladimir the modernizer in the years to come? The challenge for the next several years under, as president, will be riding a very rocky economy and we've been focusing a lot at the Europe program on the European sovereign debt crisis. This has pretty important implications for Russia and I think you're right. I think we have to be very cautious about how how Russian policy will work through these very difficult economic days. Well I recall what Foreign Minister Lavrov said here in Washington in July when he spoke for us in the Russian Embassy and the introduction to his remarks was that the United States, the Russian Federation and Europe, the three wings or branches of Western civilization as you will as he characterized it, need to work together and cooperate more in order for us to compete more effectively with the rest of the world. The biggest question the Russians probably have, especially about our relationship, is you know what's going to happen with the US elections in 2012 because I think that it has been the change in US policy and an approach to Russia that has been a big key to the success of the reset and so the Russians are pretty nervous about that as well and there are a lot of things to be nervous about in 2012 so look forward to continue to talk about this Heather. I think we'll have a lot to talk about in the weeks and the months to come. Thanks Andy.
