Facebook of the newspaper "Vedomosti" :
In the boring conversation of Medvedev, as usual, the most interesting did not go on the air:
[With a bitter sigh, to praise about an ideal timing] "Well, colleagues, someone should be extremely punctual, and someone chooses eight years of delay"
Who is he about, I wonder?
[About the search with Pavel Kostomarov] “Everything will be fine there, you don’t worry. They are the goats that they come at eight in the morning ... Well, just, in fact, this is a set of habits. I have many people who work in law enforcement agencies, they really have ... if they come at seven in the morning, they will receive ... everything.”
And again, who is he about?
