(Fortune Magazine) -- The big question right now in Russian politics is who will succeed Vladimir Putin as President in the 2008 election. As it turns out, the two front-runners -- first deputy prime ministers Sergei Ivanov and Dmitry Medvedev -- are also squaring off in a contest for business-school supremacy in Russia.
As chairman of the advisory board of the Graduate School of Management (GSOM) at St. Petersburg State University, Ivanov is the front-runner. His school is an offshoot of Russia's oldest university (founded in 1724), which since 2000 has offered an executive MBA for Russian managers modeled after American B-schools.
