More of the Same Under Putin
If Putin is re-elected president, he is likely to seek to maintain continuity and stability in a time of economic uncertainty and his return will not significantly alter Russian domestic politics or the U.S.-Russia reset.

Rojansky warned that Putin will likely face new challenges in the economic sphere as oil production and oil prices begin to fall. “There are some real economic storm clouds gathering,” Rojansky warned. He added that Putin’s return will not undo the reset in U.S.-Russia relations. “Putin has basically approved of the reset from the outset. I don’t think he’s going to roll back any of the major accomplishments of the reset,” Rojansky concluded.
