English to French translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Government / Politics / Russian politics
English term or phrase: Putin-hard / Putin-like
Il s'agit d'une présentation sur le contexte politique russe et ses conséquences économiques pour les investisseurs étrangers :

- The details are fairly meaningless: the point is that Putin and his coterie, partners and supporters will control the levers of power for at least the next 8 years and beyond
- Russian politics is about a collective leadership running the country
- This is very good news for Western business
- Whether Putin is PM or head of Rosneft, whether Ivanov (Putin-hard) beats Medvedev (Putin-lite) matters not
- These are all superficial games, machinations, shenanigans – the fundamentals are unchanged
- This provides stability, continuity and predictability

Je ne suis pas certaine de savoir si Putin-hard/lite se réfère à leur loyauté envers Poutine ou à leur vue politique...
