Russians are sure that instead of Medvedev they were shown his double, or something bad could have happened to the prime minister.
Three new photographs of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev dated August 28, the first after a two-week absence, have appeared in the Russian media.
The government press service previously explained the boss's absence from public events as a sports injury - but neither its nature nor the type of dangerous sport was named. Bloggers studied the pictures and immediately made a number of assumptions. To do this, they compared official footage of the prime minister, dated August 28, with the previous ones, dated August 13 and 14.
“On the eve of Medvedev, for the first time after his mysterious absence, federal channels showed him in large numbers. And this is how the prime minister appeared: the right eyebrow is significantly higher than the left, above it there is an obvious scar or a well-disguised bruise, and the most important thing in this story is diction. Medvedev clearly had difficulty speaking, the right side of his mouth moved with difficulty, the prime minister paused and carefully pronounced words, intonation pauses in places unusual for his well-delivered speech,” writes the Preemnik telegram channel.
The situation caused a lot of comments on social networks: “He looks kind of swollen, he doesn’t look like himself. Is this really Medvedev?”, “They didn’t replace him by chance? The shape of the skull is not the same”, “Judging by the last photo, Medvedev had a serious liver injury”, “Maybe he suffered a stroke?”.
One of the users even suggested that Medvedev has the most ordinary face of a person who was taken out of heavy drinking using medication.
Russians are very concerned about the disappearance of the country's Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. True, without guile, it can be noted that they noticed Medvedev’s absence in public only after nine days from the moment of his disappearance - the last time Medvedev appeared at a meeting with the governor of the Novosibirsk region was on August 14, and this is the first time that something happened to the prime minister The media and social networks wrote only on the 23rd.
Much was said about Medvedev’s absence in public: some suggested that the prime minister was on vacation, others were sure that the head of government had simply gone into the shadows, because the country is currently unsettled due to the adoption of pension and tax reforms.
Let us remind you that since June, society has been actively discussing several topical topics, which from 2019 will change the life of the country in a completely radical way - the retirement age will increase and the value added tax will increase from 18% to 20%. There is also unrest due to the adoption of a tax amnesty for non-payers of transport tax - debts have been forgiven for everyone who has not paid tax since 2015. Residents waited for the tax itself to be abolished, but received only an amnesty. The situation is completely unsatisfactory for those who paid taxes regularly.
As the government later explained, Medvedev has not disappeared anywhere - he is in Moscow, at his workplace, but does not participate in public events, and no events as such were allegedly planned all this time.
At the same time, Internet users keep saying that they were waiting for Medvedev here and there, but he ignored his promises to come and “show up.”
As a result, the government gave a more specific explanation for the disappearance of the prime minister - no, he is not on vacation and is actively engaged in work. His health does not yet allow him to appear at official events. The head of government received a serious injury while playing sports, which is why he is not yet very “in shape.”
Such explanations somewhat calmed the “popular” unrest on the Internet. At the same time, many began to become interested in the seriousness of Medvedev’s injury. Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov answered all questions. According to him, Medvedev is in constant contact with the president and copes with his responsibilities without even appearing in public. At the same time, Peskov could not talk about the state of health of the Prime Minister, since he was completely unaware.
Some Russian political scientists believe that interest in Medvedev’s “disappearance” is being fueled by his own PR people. This is such a thoughtful move that does not allow the people to forget about the existence of the Prime Minister. At the same time, a direct answer to the question of why Dmitry Anatolyevich went into the shadows has not been found.
Journalists from the Project website reported that government employees have not been able to find Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev for nine days. Allegedly, meetings and meetings are scheduled; the prime minister did not go on vacation, but he does not appear in public. The press service explained this as an injury. The text has been updated.
The fact that employees of the Russian government are looking for their leader, Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Dmitry Medvedev, “Project” journalists wrote in the publication’s telegram channel. They cite three independent sources who confirm that the prime minister has not been seen at work for nine days.
Medvedev has many events planned on his schedule: this Tuesday he was supposed to meet with the Magadan governor and hold a meeting on the budget, and today he has a government meeting and another meeting on the budget, says a person familiar with the schedule of the head of government. None of these events took place.
Indeed, on the government website since August 14 there is no mention of Medvedev appearing in public. On this day, he met with the acting governor of the Novosibirsk region Andrei Travnikov. Before that, I was in Kamchatka, where I held a number of meetings and conferences.
Previously, experts noted that the unpopular pension reform became the reason for a cabinet game between the State Duma, the government and the presidential administration. On August 22, Ura.ru interviewed political scientists who reported that Dmitry Medvedev’s attempt to distance himself from the adoption of the reform project may displease the president. According to expert Dmitry Ryabov, Medvedev tried to shift responsibility for the reform to deputies and Duma leader Vyacheslav Volodin. He himself did not come to the hearings, but instead of himself or at least Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova sent Labor Minister Maxim Topilin, a technical figure.
The 52-year-old Prime Minister of the Russian government, Dmitry Medvedev, as many have noticed, looks a little sick after being missing for two weeks. In addition, at Medvedev’s first speech (it was originally announced on August 27, but took place on the 30th), its participants drew attention to Medvedev’s strange speech.
The prime minister spoke slowly, monotonously, taking long pauses between phrases, writes Moskovsky Komsomolets. The source also draws attention to the fact that the prime minister’s speech was practically devoid of accents and even the politician’s timbre is different from what it was just recently.
Many associated the slow speech with the consequences of the very sports injury due to which Medvedev was allegedly absent for two weeks. “Has it been replaced?”, “The voice is strange, and it’s also kind of swollen,” Russians write in the comments. And the telegram channel “Successor” even suggested that Medvedev had a mini-stroke:
On the eve of Medvedev, for the first time after his mysterious absence, federal channels showed “in large quantities”. And this is how the prime minister appeared: the right eyebrow is significantly higher than the left, there is an obvious scar or a well-disguised bruise above it, and the most important thing in this story is diction. Medvedev clearly had difficulty speaking, the right side of his mouth moved with difficulty, the prime minister paused and carefully pronounced words, intonation pauses in places unusual for his well-delivered speech, the channel writes.
Dmitry Medvedev's double himself does not comment on the rumors, for fear of being burned
The most interesting thing is that the government is generally silent on this topic, as if they all had their mouths taped shut. The fairy tale about a sports injury clearly no longer works: the Internet is littered with numerous rumors. It's gotten to the point where now the news is all about this. Not about pension reform in general. Yes, because something happened to him, instead of him there is some kind of bomb double walking around, who doesn’t really look like Medvedev
Who could have killed Dmitry Medvedev
The first version, what happened to Dmitry Medvedev, seems unlikely. He was relaxing at his dacha in the homeland of his ancestors. He built luxurious apartments on several hectares of land. And the drunk decided to ride an ATV. On the way, I met some pensioner, and he wholeheartedly hit him in the face for the pension reform, breaking his jaw. This was exactly two weeks ago. The pensioner is now sitting, and Dmitry Medvedev cannot really say anything in public and eats porridge through a straw. You won't envy him here. But this is the version that circulates among deputies. Our version assumes that Dmitry Medvedev is no longer alive. And then some old man hit him in the jaw. He probably blew his head off with some rebar or something. But this version does not seem very plausible.
The second version of the idiocy occurring today in our geopolitical field. This is, of course, the murder of Medvedev. He could have been killed by CIA agents. Now there is a war, and Putin was made clear what would happen to him by poisoning Medvedev. This version is more plausible. And it only says that the stakes are too high. Naturally, Putin cannot announce it, since this is tantamount to declaring war on the United States.
So in the near future we will see what is actually happening. In my opinion, the double will now be shown much less and less, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion.
The other day, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedva “was not saved” and he fell ill with the flu.
Putin's statement was made on the eve of Medvedev's meeting with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan. On March 14, the Russian prime minister was supposed to meet the Armenian delegation, but Putin met it.
According to Russian media, delegates from Armenia were told that Medvedev would be in the Kremlin for a reception in honor of former first lady Naina Yeltsina. But the head of the Russian government was not found in the photographs and conspiracy theories began.
Kremlin press service
This whole story unfolded after the publication of opposition leader Alexei Navalny about Medvedev’s expensive real estate. Because of this, the media began to talk about the possible resignation of the Russian Prime Minister.
Korrespondent.net decided to understand the misfortunes that befell Medvedev in Russia.
What they didn’t save Medvedev from
At a meeting with the Russian government, Putin expressed concern about the level of flu incidence in Russia.
“The epidemic situation in our country seems to be on the decline, however, the situation is still serious. Dmitry Anatolyevich was not saved,” Putin said.
In this regard, he asked the head of the Ministry of Health, Veronica Skvortsova, to report on the situation.
As mentioned above, Medvedev was never found at the Kremlin reception. The next day, according to official data, the President of Armenia visited the Government Reception House to meet with Medvedev.
It reminded them of the situation when he was in public for 11 days, but photographs from his meetings with governors were published on the Kremlin website.
Medvedev also did not attend Putin’s meeting with permanent members of the Russian Security Council. As the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov explained, the prime minister was not present due to his work schedule.
When asked by journalists whether this was related to the health of the head of government, Peskov replied that he did not have such information and referred the media to the government press service.
Russians wish you a good mood
Russian citizens' dissatisfaction with Medvedev began to grow noticeably after the prime minister advised pensioners to "have a good mood" in response to complaints about low pensions.
This scandalous expression was followed by several more, and earlier it began to cause irritation. Russians reacted to the news of their prime minister's illness in a well-known way.
In addition to shoes, Medvedev was found to have “an infinite number of things that he cannot afford,” for example, audio equipment worth 200 thousand dollars.
Medvedev’s next offensive statement was a speech at the Territory of Meanings forum, after which a petition appeared on the Internet asking for the Russian prime minister to resign. Within 24 hours, the petition addressed to Putin received 150 thousand votes.
At the forum, when asked by a teacher why law enforcement agencies receive more teachers, Medvedev advised going into business or earning extra money, rather than waiting for government help.
“The most important thing is personal choice. I am often asked about this. Both for teachers and teachers - this is a calling. And if you want to earn money, there are a lot of great places where you can do it faster and better. The same business. But “You didn’t go into business, as I understand it,” Medvedev answered him.
The attacks on the Russian prime minister did not end there. Users of social networks increasingly began to note Medvedev’s love for American products, in particular gadgets and clothing.
Soon, Navalny announced the discovery of Medvedev’s “secret dacha.” The oppositionist says that he found an estate on the banks of the Volga near the town of Ples, Ivanovo region, thanks to a geotag from Dmitry Medvedev’s Instagram.
The area of the estate is 80 hectares, which is almost three times the area of the Kremlin. The entire territory is fenced with a six-meter green fence. The main building of the estate is the restored historical Milovka estate, built in 1775.
The most scandalous investigation of Navalny, which is associated with the disappearance of Medvedev, was the publication of “He is not Dimon for you” on March 2. The oppositionist found yachts, palaces and vineyards abroad worth billions of rubles from the Russian prime minister.
The Kremlin responded that they were “not familiar with the investigation in detail”: “We saw media reports. These are not the first examples of the creativity of this famous convicted citizen.”
Medvedev did not react in any way to his “secret empire”. Other senior officials responded in the spirit of the Kremlin.
On March 17, State Duma deputies announced that they did not intend to ask Medvedev questions about his real estate.
Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev is one of the most prominent political figures in the Russian government. Currently he is Deputy Head of the Russian Federation and holds the position of Chairman of the Russian Government. In the period 2008-2012, he was the third president of the Russian Federation, before which he headed the board of directors of OJSC Gazprom.
Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev was born on September 14, 1965 in a “dormitory” area of Leningrad in a family of teachers. Parents Anatoly Afanasyevich and Yulia Veniaminovna worked as teachers at pedagogical and technological universities. Dima was the only child in the family, so he received the utmost care and attention from his parents, who tried to invest the best qualities in their son and instill in him a love of learning.
They succeeded in full - at school No. 305, where Medvedev was educated, the boy clearly demonstrated his abilities, strived for knowledge, showing interest in the exact sciences. Teachers remember him as a diligent, diligent and calm student, who could rarely be found with his peers in the yard, since he devoted all his time to study.
In 1982, after graduating from school, Dmitry Medvedev entered Leningrad State University at the Faculty of Law, where he also proved himself to be a successful student with pronounced leadership qualities. During his student years, the future chairman of the Russian government became interested in rock music, photography and weightlifting. In 1990 he defended his dissertation and became a candidate of legal sciences.
The politician himself says that during his student years he worked part-time as a janitor, for which he was paid 120 rubles, which was a significant increase to the increased 50-ruble stipend.
Career
Since 1988, Dmitry Medvedev has been teaching at Leningrad State University, teaching students civil and Roman law. Along with teaching, he showed himself as a scientist and became one of the co-authors of the three-volume textbook “Civil Law”, for which he wrote 4 chapters.
Medvedev's political career began in 1990. At that time he became the "favorite" adviser to the first mayor of St. Petersburg. A year later, he became a member of the St. Petersburg City Hall Committee for External Relations, where he worked as an expert under the leadership.
At that time, Anatoly Sobchak became a kind of “guide” to novice politicians into the world of big politics, thanks to which many high-ranking officials and statesmen of Russia from his team currently occupy their positions.
During the 90s, the future Prime Minister of the Russian Federation actively showed himself in the business sphere. In 1993, he became a co-founder of OJSC Frinzel, he owns 50% of the company's shares. At the same time, Dmitry Medvedev became director of legal issues at the timber corporation Ilim Pulp Enterprise. In 1994, Dmitry Anatolyevich joined the management team of OJSC Bratsk Timber Industry Complex.
Prime Minister of the Russian Federation
The biography of Dmitry Medvedev finally went in a political direction in 1999. Then he became Vladimir Putin’s deputy in the mayor’s office of St. Petersburg, who at that time headed the apparatus of the Russian government. In 2000, by decree of the new Russian President Vladimir Putin, Medvedev was appointed to the post of first deputy head of the presidential administration.
In 2003, after the resignation of former Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Voloshin, the politician headed the administration of the President of the Russian Federation. At the same time, he joined the Security Council and received the status of a permanent member of this department. In 2006, at the start of the presidential election campaign, many analytical centers began to predict Dmitry Anatolyevich for the post of President of the Russian Federation, considering him Putin’s first favorite.
A rumor leaked to the media that two years before the elections, the Kremlin created the “Successor” project under the supervision of. The forecasts were confirmed - in 2007, Dmitry Medvedev’s candidacy for the post of Russian leader was supported by Vladimir Putin and members of the United Russia party.
As soon as Dmitry Anatolyevich began to appear frequently in newspapers and on television, the public noted his extraordinary resemblance to the emperor. Some sources began to publish theories about reincarnation or a secret conspiracy, for the execution of which a person similar to the emperor must be in power, while others started talking about fate and the fact that Medvedev was destined to rule the country, since he has such a telling appearance.
Conspiracy theories began to surround the increasingly popular politician. Sites have appeared on the Internet claiming that all of Dmitry Medvedev’s personal data has been falsified to hide the fact that he is Jewish by nationality, and his real name is Mendel. Official representatives of the Kremlin do not even comment on such theories, considering them not worth the attention of politicians.
President of the Russian Federation
On March 2, 2008, Dmitry Medvedev won a landslide victory in the presidential race, gaining about 70% of the votes. In May, the youngest president of Russia was inaugurated. During the event, Medvedev outlined priority goals and noted that in his new position his primary and main tasks will be the development of economic and civil freedoms, as well as the creation of new civic opportunities.
The first decrees of the third President of the Russian Federation concerned the development of the social sphere: education, healthcare, and improving the living conditions of veterans. Natalya Timakova became the president's press secretary, thereby becoming the first woman to hold this position in Russia.
In 2009, Medvedev published his article “Forward Russia!”, in which he formulated his views and theses regarding the modernization of the country. The most famous project of the young head of the Russian Federation was the creation of Skolkovo - the “Russian Silicon Valley”, on the territory of which an innovative complex was built, the work of which was aimed at the development and concentration of international intellectual capital.
Medvedev also faced a five-day war with Georgia, which began against the backdrop of the conflict with South Ossetia. Then Dmitry Anatolyevich signed a decree according to which Russian troops were sent to protect Russia’s southern neighbor, as a result of which the Georgian troops were defeated. At that time, there was a surge of patriotic sentiment in Russian society, so Medvedev’s foreign policy was largely supported by the population.
As president, Dmitry Medvedev also continued Putin’s policies in the field of agricultural development and the socio-economic direction of the country. Resonant decrees included the reorganization of the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, the abolition of winter time and the introduction of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, providing for the extension of the terms of office of the head of state from 4 to 6 years. Also among the achievements of Dmitry Medvedev is the creation of the Anti-Corruption Council of Russia.
Technologies
Dmitry Anatolyevich’s trip to the USA, to Silicon Valley, attracted particular attention from the general public. As part of this trip, the President of the Russian Federation met with the idol of millions, the head of Apple. The purpose of the meeting was to talk about new technologies and the prospects for the development of the IT market, which was supposed to help create an analogue of Silicon Valley in Russia - Skolkovo. At the end of the meeting, Steve Jobs presented Medvedev with an iPhone 4, a new product at that time, a smartphone that was supposed to go on sale only the next day after the meeting.
To the surprise of the public, when the president returned to Russia, he did not use the gift. The press tried to find political implications in this, but everything turned out to be much simpler. Medvedev was given a smartphone connected to the network, which is typical for the States, and in Russia the iPhone simply stopped working. This problem is known to many users of American phones who decided to buy cheaper equipment abroad, which is why there is a whole illegal industry of services for removing the blocking. But it is impossible to imagine that the head of state would use a hacked phone.
The president's passion for new technologies, and especially communications, led not only to the creation of Skolkovo, but also to innovations in Russian politics and its ways of interacting with the people. Dmitry Medvedev created a blog on the Live Journal platform as a channel for quick and direct communication with the president. Although this method was used for the first time, it received public approval and began to actively develop.
Soon, Dmitry Anatolyevich registered on the social networks VKontakte and Facebook, and his press secretary addressed the site’s audience with a request to use new communication channels to discuss current issues and events, and not for practical jokes and self-expression. In addition, the politician has an official Instagram account with 2.6 million subscribers, although not many photos have been posted. On Medvedev’s Instagram, a fairly large percentage of photos are images of colorful Russian nature, and the other are shots from official events and trips.
The ex-president loves communications technology, but technology doesn't always love him. During the broadcast of the speech of the President of the Russian Federation on Latvian television, a technical glitch occurred, and the inscription “President of Latvia” appeared under the name of Dmitry Medvedev. One of the TV viewers managed to capture the moment of the failure and posted the confirmation on the Internet. The momentary glitch sparked a wave of humor and conspiracy theories.
Second term
In 2011, during a meeting of the United Russia party, Medvedev said that Vladimir Putin, who was then prime minister, should run for president. The meeting participants and delegates, numbering about 10 thousand people, gave this statement a standing ovation. In 2012, after Vladimir Putin’s victory in the Russian presidential elections, Dmitry Medvedev was appointed chairman of the Russian government, and a little later headed the United Russia political party.
Kremlin officials consider Dmitry Medvedev to be an excellent administrator, a decent person, a modern, out-of-the-box thinker and a competent lawyer. According to media reports, colleagues and associates in the civil service call Dmitry Anatolyevich “Vizir” or “Nano-President,” which is most likely due to Dmitry Anatolyevich’s passion for new technologies and the politician’s short stature. According to unofficial data, Medvedev’s height is 163 cm.
In 2015, “breaking news” appeared on several Ukrainian-hosted websites, which spoke of a plane crash in which “the Prime Minister of Russia died.” The text, which was copied verbatim from site to site, said that the plane took off from Sheremetyevo and allegedly crashed two minutes after departure. In addition to the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, and the head of Chechnya were “present” on board the plane. Numerous media outlets and Medvedev himself immediately refuted the fake, which did not prevent news with the same text from appearing on various websites exactly a year later and again sowing confusion in the press.
Humor and scandals
Recent developments in the work of the Prime Minister and his proposals and initiatives are attracting enormous public attention, often in a negatively humorous manner. Many of his statements become memes and aphorisms and spread across the Internet in less than a day.
In May 2016, the press began quoting Dmitry Medvedev’s scandalous statement: “There is no money, but you hold on” in response to a complaint about low pensions. The phrase spread across almost all media, and appeared in various variations on humorous sites and social networks.
Meme on the statement "There is no money, but you hold on" While some of the public came up with new jokes, others were openly outraged that the government refused to take care of pensioners. As it turned out later, the scandalous phrase was simply taken out of context; in fact, Dmitry Anatolyevich promised the pensioner that the indexation would take place a little later, when the opportunity arose, and then, already saying goodbye, he wished to hold on, adding to this other warm wishes.
The summer of 2016 presented the public with another odious statement from the Prime Minister. This time, during the “Territory of Meanings” forum, Dmitry Anatolyevich spoke about teachers. When asked about the low salaries of teachers, Medvedev replied that being a teacher is a calling, and that an energetic teacher will always find an opportunity to earn extra money, and if a person wants to earn a lot, then he should think about changing his profession and going into business.
This reasoning caused strong condemnation from the country's citizens, who are confident that teachers and other public sector employees should receive decent salaries, and not choose between their vocation and well-being. Many teachers considered the prime minister's words offensive.
In the fall of the same year, the Internet again began to quote Dmitry Anatolyevich. During the ceremony of signing agreements following a meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council, Medvedev, half jokingly and half seriously, proposed renaming the classic type of coffee “Americano” to “Rusiano”. The public immediately took up this initiative, many cafes began to indicate the new drink in their price lists, and some even offered a discount to those visitors who ordered their usual coffee, calling it in a new way.
But this humorous episode was not without its ill-wishers. Critics began to link this idea with both “jingoism” and the fact that the prime minister was allegedly wasting his time on strange ideas instead of fulfilling his official duties.
Personal life
Dmitry Medvedev's personal life, as well as his political career, is clean, transparent and stable. He met his wife, the daughter of a serviceman, during his school years. Medvedev's wife was the first beauty, popular with young people at school and at the financial and economic university. However, Svetlana chose a calm, intelligent and promising husband as her future husband. The wedding of Dmitry Medvedev and Svetlana Linnik took place in 1989.
Currently, Medvedev’s wife works in Moscow and organizes public events in her native St. Petersburg. Svetlana Medvedeva became the head of the target program for working with youth “Spiritual and moral culture of the younger generation of Russia.” At the initiative of Medvedev’s wife, a new holiday, “Day of Family, Love and Fidelity,” was introduced in 2008.
In 1996, a son, Ilya, was born into the Medvedev family, who has been a student at MGIMO since 2012. Medvedev’s son entered the university on a general competitive basis, thanks to the high results of the Unified State Exam, on which he received 94 points in English and 87 points in Russian, and also passed an additional exam with 95 points out of 100 possible.
He also tried his hand at cinema and starred in one of the episodes of the humorous television magazine “Yeralash”. The young man dreamed of an acting career, but, looking at himself from the outside after the episode aired, he realized that it was not for him.
Now Ilya Medvedev has successfully completed his bachelor's degree at MGIMO and is thinking about a career as a corporate lawyer. Ilya is the only son of Dmitry Anatolyevich; according to official sources, the politician has no other children, which does not at all prevent various websites and newspapers from spreading rumors about Dmitry Medvedev’s personal life.
There is a certain passion for animals in the family of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation. Their pets include the “first cat of the country” named Dorofey, as well as a pair of English setters, a golden retriever and a Central Asian shepherd dog.
In addition, Dmitry Anatolyevich is interested in photography and even participated in prestigious photo exhibitions. But a political career does not contribute much to his hobby. As Medvedev himself laments, given his status, if he suddenly starts taking photographs of those around him, he will at least be misunderstood.
Alumni meeting
Dmitry Anatolyevich’s personal life attracts no less attention than his political career. In 2011, the Internet literally exploded with a poor quality video in which Medvedev dances to “American Fight”, and the famous comedian is his dancing company. The video for some time became the most popular in the top materials of video hosting YouTube. The story of the dance was played out more than once in KVN; many jokes and video clips also appeared on its basis.
Dmitry Medvedev did not become indignant or deny it and said on Twitter that he actually danced at a meeting of university graduates, which took place a year before the video appeared in the public domain. And such music for the event was chosen, according to Medvedev, in order to preserve the atmosphere of their university time, since these were the songs that those gathered listened to in their youth. With age, the musical tastes of all those present naturally changed. Now Dmitry Medvedev is a big fan of rock music, listens to Deep Purple and Linkin Park.
Not only stars and politicians came to the defense of Dmitry Anatolyevich, who complained about the lack of the very concept of privacy in Russia, but also the public, who decided that a politician dancing at a party is quite adequate and normal, but sneakily filming relaxed people at a private party - worthy of reproach.
Income
Medvedev’s financial condition also continues to worry the country’s residents. According to the latest official data, Medvedev's income for 2014 amounted to just under 8 million rubles, which is twice the size of his earnings in 2013.
In 2015, the declared income of the Prime Minister increased slightly and amounted to 8.9 million rubles. There have been no significant changes in Medvedev’s “property” column - he is still the owner of an apartment with an area of more than 350 square meters and two cars (GAZ-20 and GAZ-21).
Dmitry Medvedev now
On March 18, 2018, they took place, in which Vladimir Putin won again. Immediately after the elected President of the Russian Federation, the government headed by the Chairman resigned.
Immediately after taking office, Vladimir Putin again offered the position of prime minister to Dmitry Medvedev. On May 18, he was announced to journalists.
