Boris Yeltsin’s resignation as Russian president on New Year’s Eve 1999 left his designated successor, transitional President Vladimir Putin, as the overwhelming favourite to win presidential elections scheduled for 26 March 2000. In this case, the extensive powers of the Russian presidency, which have largely lain dormant in Yeltsin’s feeble grip, will be assumed by a vigorous and ruthless 47-year-old former KGB agent. As prime minister and presumptive successor, Putin already enjoyed popularity because of his launch of the campaign in Chechnya on 23 September 1999, as well as his public image of youth and decisiveness. To these advantages, Putin has added his grip on the state and the media, thanks to government influence and the support of leading media owners. The power of this combination was demonstrated in the December 1999 parliamentary elections when his government’s Unity electoral bloc, only founded in October, came a close second, with 23% of the vote. Together with its allies in the businessoriented Union of Rightist Forces, which received 8% of the vote, the government bloc has gained a clear parliamentary lead over the communists, who received just 24%. Regarding economic reform, the government should also be able to rely on the support of the liberal Yabloko party, which won 6% of the vote, although Yabloko opposes the government over the Chechen war.

鲍里斯·叶利钦在1999年新年前夕辞去俄罗斯总统一职,他指定的继任者、过渡总统弗拉基米尔·普京以压倒性优势赢得定于2000年3月26日举行的总统选举。在这种情况下,俄罗斯总统的广泛权力,在叶利钦的微弱控制下基本上处于休眠状态,将由一位47岁的精力充沛、冷酷无情的前克格勃特工承担。作为总理和假定的继任者,普京已经因为1999年9月23日在车臣发起的运动以及他年轻果断的公众形象而广受欢迎。除了这些优势之外,普京还借助政府的影响力和主要媒体所有者的支持,加强了对国家和媒体的控制。这种组合的力量在1999年12月的议会选举中得到了证明,当时他的政府在10月才成立的团结选举集团以23%的选票紧随其后。加上其在以商业为导向的右翼力量联盟(Union of right -右派Forces)中的盟友(后者获得了8%的选票),政府集团在议会中明显领先于仅获得24%选票的共产党。在经济改革方面,政府也应该能够依靠自由党的支持,该党赢得了6%的选票,尽管该党在车臣战争问题上反对政府。
