Well I just paraphrased Medvedev from the article:
> entire balance of power, the power of the executive, the power of the legislature, the power of the judiciary,” Medvedev explained.
> “In this context, it is obvious that, as the government, we must provide the president with a capability to make all decisions,” 
So the stepped down to provide Putin the capability and don't stand in his way.
> Government and even parliament in Russia is nothing, they do what Kremlin want
That it is not true. For example when Putin was PM in 2008-2012 the government was the most important body.

I liek how the term of presidency was extended from four years to six during Medvedev's presidency but not for Medvedev, only for whoever followed his term. ie. for Putin.
