Re: Analysts - Putin to Launch Systematic Campaign Against Oligarchs

Putin promises brighter future for Russians plagued by poverty
VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV
The Herald, May 27 2004

THE president promised Russians affordable housing, education and health
care and shrugged off allegations of authoritarian trends in his state of
the nation address yesterday.

Me: Reduction of poverty is the main stated goal of Putin's second term, along with doubling GDP in 10 years. He repeats it practically every chance he gets.

I have the text of the address in English, BTW, if you want me to send it to you.
