Today, they don't even have to leave their computers - all thanks to president Vladimir Putin's pledge of support to Dmitry Medvedev, first deputy prime minister and the likely 2008 presidential candidate. Medvedev's last name stems from the Russian word for "bear" - medved' - and Yandex Blogs portal (RUS) lists over 1,500 posts in the Russian blogosphere today that greet him irreverently with "Preved, Medved!" (RUS) and over 1,400 more posts that refer to Medvedev in a more reserved manner (RUS), by what appears to be his semi-official title by now - "the successor."
Ahora, ni siquiera tienen que alejarse de sus computadoras -todo gracias al compromiso del presidente Vladimir Putin de apoyar a Dmitry Medvedev, jefe de gabinete adjunto del Primer Ministro y probable candidato a las elecciones presidenciales del 2008.
