Zuckerberg, Medvedev and a gift T-shirt from Facebook

Returning to the meeting between Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, a user of his network, we should note our prime minister, as well as the democratic nature of the meeting itself. The Russian Prime Minister met with Zuckerberg at his residence in Gorki. Communication took place in the gazebo:

- There are 10 million Facebook users in Russia, the development of social networks is your merit, -

Medvedev said. - But we also have our own networks: Odnoklassniki and VKontakte.

“President Barack Obama has 30 million subscribers,” Zuckerberg retorted.

- Does this mean that Obama will win the presidential election, since he has more followers?

than Romney? - Medvedev joked.

“I don’t know, when I created Facebook to communicate with friends, I didn’t think it would become a political factor,” Zuckerberg replied.

The conversation was somewhat reminiscent of a meeting between the leaders of two countries - both Medvedev and Zuckerberg were in formal suits and ties.

During this meeting, they discussed “interaction in the field of IT technologies” and talked about the regulation of copyright on the Internet. Medvedev and Zuckerberg also discussed the possibility of a wider presence of Facebook in the Russian market.

“Medvedev and Zuckerberg discussed the possible presence of Facebook in Russia not only as a social network, but also as a company that works with the most advanced products, and talked about Skolkovo as a place where there are start-ups that may be of mutual interest,” - Prime Minister's press secretary Natalya Timakova told reporters after the meeting.

And as a farewell, the head of the world’s largest social network gave the head of the Russian government a T-shirt with the address of his Facebook page. Indeed, what is the symbolism of this present from FB to the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation?!

Many experts agree that Zuckerberg came to Russia for brains, although the latter categorically denies this. Indeed, don’t show your business cards!

We should also note the democratic accessibility of the young billionaire and CEO of the social network Facebook Mark Zuckerberg, who began his visit to Moscow with a tour of Red Square. The head of the Russian office of Facebook, Ekaterina Skorobogatova, also showed him the main attractions of the capital of the Russian Federation. Zuckerberg even went to have a bite to eat at McDonald's, which is located in the Alexander Garden, and managed to take a few pictures for his Internet empire “Facebook”!

By the way, in the ranking of the 400 richest people in the United States, published by Forbes magazine in 2011, Zuckerberg took 14th place with a fortune of 17.5 billion US dollars. In 2010, Time magazine named Zuckerberg Person of the Year. This is not for you to export gas and oil and nickel!
