“If Dostoevsky appeared now, he would immediately become the subject of ridicule by Shenderovich or Arbitman.” Zakhar Prilepin (“Moscow News”, 09.23.11) Yes, Arbitman and I are like that!

At the United Russia congress, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin invited President Dmitry Medvedev to head the party’s election list. He recalled that previously the president had always led the party to elections, so now it would be right to do the same.
