Article Abstract:

Russia currently has no strong political parties, according to Dmitry Ayatskov, governor of Saratov, Russia.

However, he does not feel that he has the moral right to regard himself as a contender for the Russian presidency until he has proved to Russians that reforms in Saratov can be developed.
