Kremlin messages: President talks to the web
Dmitry Medvedev
From issues of global importance to the state’s internal policy, as well as fighting corruption, sport, Internet development and photography: Dmitry Medvedev has become the first Russian President to start his own videoblog. In October 2008, he posted the first entry on the Kremlin website. Since then, it has become immensely popular among Russian Internet users, who can also leave their comments in the presidential interactive blog. RT gives its audience a chance to read and watch Medvedev’s posts in English.

"Russian nuclear energy standards should go global"
embed video The world’s attention is focused on Japan. As of this moment, over 25 thousand people have been declared dead or missing. My blog and the Russian internet in general are teeming with posts of support and condolences. Since the first days, Russia has been trying to help Japan, its neighbor and partner. You know that our rescue workers took part in clearing the debris. They are now...

“Russia has been appointed as the enemy”
Russia’s relations with other states have been the focus of my video-blog posts in the past. I’ve told you about the progress in our relations with the US. I’ve explained why I consider Russia’s participation in G20 meetings to be important. During one of the most dramatic times in Russian-Ukrainian relations, last summer, I shared with you my thoughts on why I considered...

Caring for older persons is a priority task for the state
Today, on October 1, the International Day of Older Persons is observed all over the world. It was established 20 years ago, following a resolution of the United Nations General Assembly. Many social organizations, including those in our country of course, undertake charity campaigns on this day. However, attention to our elder generation should be paid not only on this day, but always, that is...

The environment and the economy do not contradict each other
Every year on June 5 the world marks World Environment Day. This day has been marked around the planet since 1972, although Russia has only taken part since 2007. But better late than never, and indeed, it took us a while, but we have, fortunately, finally woken up to the vital importance of protecting nature, to the realisation that economic and environmental development go hand in hand. The...

WWII will never be reduced to a mere calendar date for our nation
Good afternoon! Good afternoon to everyone, good afternoon to our most revered veterans! 65 years separate this day from the day of the Great Victory. Several generations have grown up over these 65 years, but the 9th of May remains a special day for all of us. It is the day of our ultimate Victory. The Great Patriotic War will never be reduced to a mere calendar date from the past for our...

Presidential shutterbug
Today, I visited the Best of Russia 2009 photo exhibition. Given my personal interest in the subject, I wanted to say a few words about photography. In historical terms, photography is a relatively young art, only a little more than 150 years old. All art forms share the common function of helping to represent the surrounding world, see something new in it, something we hadn’t noticed...

Commitments on climate change “must be simultaneous”
Today I want to talk about the global problem of climate change on our planet. There are already existing arrangements in most countries to work together in this area. Incidentally, some of them have been around for quite a while, namely the Kyoto Protocol. Russia believes that such cooperation is vital. The major economies of the world, and hence the largest greenhouse gas emitters, such as the...

President Medvedev pledges to keep on blogging despite criticism
It has been a year since I started my video blog, in the spring it became part of LiveJournal. It’s a significant period of time, so it would be good to summarize some things. Of course, for me it is a necessary litmus test of communication. A litmus test that helps me receive important information, in order to understand the attitudes of different people, understand the logic behind their...

“No new Russian ambassador to be sent to Ukraine”
A few days ago, I sent a letter to the President of Ukraine. It was not an ordinary document, I should say, as it contained a number of complex and unflattering characteristics of the actions by the top political leadership of Ukraine. In my address today, I would like to explain the reasons behind my step. There has been public concern in both Ukraine and Russia of late over the state of...

Trip down memory lane
I recently visited the school I graduated from. That day I also stopped by the University where I studied, walked into the familiar lecture-halls and checked in on the Law Department, which is so dear to my heart. I first studied, and later taught, at the Law Department of the State University of St. Petersburg. People who leave their native cities always have a special kind of relationship with...
