Russian finance minister steps down CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Russian finance minister Alexei Kudrin has stepped down from his post after a televised spat with President Dmitry Medvedev, the Associated Press reports Monday. The move follows news over the weekend that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin wants to return to the presidency next year, with Medvedev seeking the prime minister position. Kudrin's departure could roil the Russian markets as his fiscally conservative policies are seen as being integral to the country's economic stability, the wire service noted.
