Dmitry Medvedev

Dmitry Medvedev (pronounced "D'meetree M'edvidyev") is the current President of Russia. No, really, we swear. If "President" means "Puppet of Vladimir Putin," of course.

Medvedev was elected in Russia as the successor to world-renouned water polo player Vladimir Putin in 2008. The fairness of the election was questioned by many, including the Communist Party in Russia, because Putin had an iron grip on the nation's media and there was no freedom of association.
