Also, while watching videos on the website of the President of Russia, video recordings of the president's addresses were found, in which there are Apple MacBook Pro laptops and a more budgetary version of the MacBook Black.

Dmitry Medvedev is fond of photography. I started taking pictures as a child with the Smena-8M camera. Already being president, he participated in an exhibition of photography under open sky"The World Through the Eyes of Russians", which took place in March 2010 on Tverskoy Boulevard in Moscow. Today, Medvedev's arsenal includes cameras from Leica, Nikon and Canon.
Myself Dmitry Medvedev He spoke about his passion for photography:
“Of course I like taking pictures of people. But photographing people is not easy for me. After all, because of my work, it will look rather strange if at some point I run out with a camera and start photographing someone. I'm afraid people just won't understand me. »
Almost all national projects curated by Medvedev have been criticized.
Medvedev initiated amendments to the federal law"On the Basic Guarantees of the Rights of the Child in the Russian Federation", prohibiting minors from staying in in public places at night. According to some analysts, this provision is in conflict with Art. 27 of the Constitution of Russia, which affirms the right of a Russian citizen to free movement, choice of place of stay and residence; on the other hand, according to, in particular, P. Astakhov, such restrictions are permissible if there is a threat to health and morality.
September 6, 2008 by Decree No. 1316 “On Certain Issues of the Ministry of the Interior Russian Federation» liquidated the Department for Combating Organized Crime and Terrorism, as well as the entire regional system of Organized Crime Control Departments.

Allegations of Medvedev's lack of independence and significant dependence on his predecessor were repeated many times in many media throughout his reign, but according to Alexei Kudrin, who worked in the Putin government under President Medvedev, these ideas are largely exaggerated:
It is believed that Medvedev's freedom of action was very limited. But I witnessed the development and adoption of many key decisions. And I can assure you: Putin was not the limiter he is thought to be. Yes, there are areas where he and Putin made decisions only together. However, Medvedev had many opportunities and freedom.
On October 15, 2011, at a meeting held at the Digital October Center for New Technologies in Moscow, Nikolai Svanidze outlined the main shortcomings of Medvedev's policy as follows:
“Exclusively the truth and only the truth. Like in court. [...] This is absolutely terrible, and growing, corruption, this is bureaucratic lawlessness, which is also not decreasing, this is the absence of real independent justice, this is a very low level of functioning, sometimes, perhaps, in many ways, an imitation level of the functioning of democratic institutions and civil society institutions.
This is a one-sided, archaic, opaque economy, which relies on raw material exports, this is the absence of competition - economic and real political. And all this in many ways leads to a trend that, unfortunately, is very well known to us from later Soviet times, and a very negative trend called “alienation of people from the state”.
All these problems are not only serious, but systemic and, accordingly, probably require a systemic response. »

When Dmitry Medvedev defended his PhD in 1990, Sobchak, who already held the post of chairman of the Leningrad City Council, invited his ward to the staff, saying that he would need "young and modern" people. The young man accepted the offer, becoming one of Sobchak's advisers, while continuing to teach at the department. It was at Sobchak's headquarters that Medvedev first met Vladimir Putin, who was also invited to work by Anatoly Alexandrovich.
When Anatoly Sobchak was elected mayor of Leningrad in 1991, Putin followed him and became vice-mayor, Dmitry Medvedev returned to teaching, and also became a freelance expert of the Committee on external relations Petersburg administration under Putin. As part of this position, he was sent to Sweden, where he completed an internship in local government.

And in 1999 he was appointed to the position of Deputy Chief of Staff of the Government of the Russian Federation. As suggested by the editors of the site, in connection with the appointment, he left teaching and moved to the capital.
After the departure of Boris Yeltsin, Dmitry Anatolyevich became deputy head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation. In 2000, after Vladimir Putin won the presidential election, he took the post of First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration.
At the same time, he took over as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gazprom (in 2001 he was listed as Deputy Chairman) and held this responsible position until 2008.

Dmitry Medvedev on the conflict in South Ossetia (2013)
As Dmitry Anatolyevich himself admitted, the so-called "five-day" war came as a surprise to him. Some tension in relations between Russia and Georgia was felt in early 2008, but, according to the president, he "had no idea what ideas live in Saakashvili's inflamed brain."
The escalation of the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict took place at the end of July - the beginning of August; third month of Medvedev's presidency. On the night of August 7-8, the Minister of Defense called the President and told about the beginning of hostilities by the Georgian troops.

So, despite the initially well-formed relations between Medvedev and Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, who replaced Viktor Yushchenko, Ukraine never joined the Customs Union, and the situation with the "gas" relations between the countries has worsened.
Great excitement among the patriotic public was caused by Medvedev's position on the Libyan issue.

According to media reports, colleagues and associates in the civil service call Dmitry Anatolyevich Vizier and Nanopresident, which is most likely due to the politician’s passion for new technologies and short stature politics.

In the autumn of the same year, the Internet began to quote Dmitry Anatolyevich again. During the ceremony of signing agreements following the meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council, Medvedev half-jokingly, half-seriously proposed to rename the classic Americano coffee to Rusiano.
The public immediately picked up this initiative, a number of cafes began to indicate a new drink on the menu, and some even offered a discount to those visitors who ordered the usual coffee, calling it in a new way.
