Patriarch Alexsy II and other leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church have voiced their support for President Vladimir Putin's anointing of First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev as his successor. They also approved of Medvedev's declaration that he would appoint Putin as prime minister after the scheduled March 2 presidential elections.
With the backing of Putin and the United Russia Party, which dominates Russian politics, Medvedev, 42, is expected to win by a wide margin. Speaking to reporters after an event at the Russian Academy of Sciences December 11, Alexsy said that Medvedev has been a great supporter of the church in the academic sphere, pushing for state structures to recognize degrees from religious educational institutions. "Before we used to hit a brick wall when we raised this question," said Alexsy.
