Predictions

Background

The Upper House of Russia's Parliament on Friday formally set March 4, 2012 as the date for the presidential election, a vote expected to see Vladimir Putin return to the top job.

"The elections for the President of Russia are set for March 4, 2012," the Federation Council said in a statement on its website after senators approved the date in a vote called for under the Constitution.

Current Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is expected to reclaim the presidency in the poll after his protege President Dmitry Medvedev agreed to step aside in a job swap.
