So Putin said no to Prince Charles and Biden... I mean I suppose it's old news now but Putin is pretty much supreme ruler of Russia now, isn't he? I mean from what I can tell the President was such a powerful position and PM didn't mean much but with Putin now PM the roles have reversed or something? Can Serb or someone more familiar with Russian politics and political system explain if I'm incorrect, the nature of the Presidency and Prime Minister positions in Russia, and if Putin had a purpose in essentially changing his title but not his de facto powers?
