Russian President Vladimir Putin smiles as he listens to a reporter\'s question during a press conference in Havana\'s Palace of the Revolution, December 15, 2000. [Putin said that he was looking forward to working with U.S. President elect Bush\'s new administration. He also said that the arrest in Madrid of Russian media mogul Vladimir Grazinsky was a matter for his country\'s prosecutors and not part of a political witch hunt, and that he did not consider him to be a dangerous man. Putin is on the second full day of his four day state visit to Cuba, the first by a Russian leader since the collapse of the Soviet Union.]
