Putin nominated a new Prime Minister. Tomorrow Duma (Parliament) will review his candidacy for this position. It came as a surprise to many, just like VVP himself back in 2000, when he came "out of nowhere". Ivanov and Medvedev one of the most popular figures in Russian politics after Mr. Putin himself, were not nominated as was widely expected.
He is one of the many Piterskys (from St. Petersburg), although has nothing to do with security services according to Economist. He is a good economist, according to his biography and mainly worked in the agricultural sphere. If interested you can look through his bio here (Russian), who knows maybe he is the next President: too much of similarities with the Presidency path of the incumbent.
