the President of Russia, inaugurated on May 7, 2008. He won the presidential election held on March 2, 2008 with about 70% of the vote.

Medvedev was appointed first deputy prime minister of the Russian government on November 14, 2005. Formerly Vladimir Putin’s chief of staff, he was also the Chairman of Gazprom’s board of directors, a post he has held (for the second time) since 2000. On December 10, 2007, he was informally endorsed as a candidate for the forthcoming presidential elections by the largest Russian political party, United Russia, and officially endorsed on December 17, 2007. Medvedev’s candidacy was supported by former President Vladimir Putin and pro-presidential parties.[3] A technocrat and political appointee, Medvedev had never held elective office before 2008.

Meet the new Russian president. Don’t worry. Putin is still overlord.

The Get Out Clause, an unsigned band from the city, decided to make use of the cameras seen all over British streets.

With an estimated 13 million CCTV cameras in Britain, suitable locations were not hard to come by.

They set up their equipment, drum kit and all, in eighty locations around Manchester - including on a bus - and proceeded to play to the cameras.

This is a great way to externalize the cost of production.
