It is no surprise to see Vladimir Putin running for president of Russia again. His propositions are not a surprise either. The push to further develop the connections between Russia and Asia, in Particular China, looks like it will be a smart move for the future. However I am unsure of what the effects of his pet project will be exactly. Or what will happen if he does unite ex-Soviet nations and establishes an Eurasian Union. The one obvious answer is worrying several european nations. They see this as competition for the already troubled European Union. As governments battle "with a spiralling financial crisis", the former super power's push away from Europe is not ideal. Putin has obviously waited to offer this idea at an opportune time, drawing EU members out of the chaos of their present union. Fortunately all nations presented with this proposition are resisting, and "[will not] yield to pressure".
That is hopeful, but Putin has obviously been orchestrating many things that have happened in Russia recently, him running again is no accident. I suspect Putin does have a plan and will do what he can to make Russia a global player once again. What will happen when this takes place is a mystery.
