PUTIN NAMES THREE DIRECTIONS FOR RUSSIA'S DEVELOPMENT - STATE, LAW AND SOCIETY

MOSCOW, April 25 (RIA Novosti) - In his annual address, Vladimir Putin named three directions for Russia's development.

First, the development of the state system. Secondly, the strengthening of the legal system and the development of the political system, building a more effective justice system in the country. Third, development of the individual and the civil society.

Vladimir Putin believes the major political and ideological task is to develop a free democratic state in Russia.

The President pointed out that there is an opinion that the Russian people, "which kept silent for a long time," needs a strong authority, that it cannot adopt to democratic principles.

"I would certainly want to bring those who voice such an opinion back to reality," he said.

Vladimir Putin asked to regard the current and the previous Addresses to the Federal Assembly as "a common action plan for the next decade."

The second direction is really three, and the third is really two, both of which are of historical interest only. This indicates that he has no idea what he is to do.
