The one thing that is really different from before (in Soviet times) is that there are many different kinds of beer. Then, there was just one
We will continue to cooperate with our Russian friends, President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. We are accomplishing all the set goals, and I believe that we will soon witness the construction of the South Stream pipe line
I’m afraid people will not understand if I come here often
He was addressing officials not as a president but as a new prime minister, and confirmed his reputation of a liberal politician. No major changes to his policies are likely when he becomes a premier. To my mind, Dmitry Medvedev won`t put up with a managing post but will be actively involved in politics...
I’ve never been here before
The Russian (outgoing) president (Dmitry Medvedev) has said on several occasions, and we have confirmed, that we are ready to work on this scenario

The U.S. nuclear shield controversy will attract the greatest focus ... while President Dmitry Medvedev has been marginally more patient than Putin on the outcome of this discussion [on the visa agreement].

I will repeat that censorship is prohibited by the Constitution and if it appears somewhere it should be the subject of stat investigations
When Vladimir Putin introduces Dmitry Medvedev as candidate [for the post of Russian Prime Minister] we will support the leader of our list, we have the majority! We hope the opposition does the same!
