Gorbachev: Putin 'exhausted himself' as president
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev says Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has "exhausted himself" as Russia's leader and his inability to change the Kremlin's political system might prompt more massive protests.
Putin, who was president in 2000-2008, is almost certain to win the upcoming election in March despite recent opposition street rallies, Russia's largest since the Soviet collapse. (AP)
