credence to its leader, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and will
welcome his decision to top the party list in the upcoming parliamentary

Saturday.
"Vladimir Putin was among the founders of the United Russia party. Now
he is its leader, a man who enjoys confidence of the bulk of the country's
population. We see it in all Russian regions and consider it both as
personal confidence in Vladimir Putin and as confidence in what he is
doing as head of government and party leader," said Sergei Neverov, the
United Russia's presidium secretary.
According to Neverov, the fact that Putin does not rule out his
possible leading the party list testifies to "a high appreciation and the
