A political nobody when he became prime minister nine months ago, Putin has handed key Kremlin posts to a host of friends from the FSB intelligence service which he headed until last August.

Many here believe an FSB-led administration, which is assigned no formal role in the constitution, will drive policy formulation under Putin while the government is reduced to the role of technocratic enforcer.

It could be part of a strategy to carve himself a modicum of freedom from the "Family", a fabled clan of shadowy businessmen who engineered Putin's meteoric rise into the Kremlin in place of Boris Yeltsin.
