First name spelling

According to the CIA World Factbook, it is 'Dmitriy' not 'Dmitry.'

The CIA are wrong (about a lot of things)— Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.149.39 (talk) 08:41, 18 August 2012

His name is spelled in Cyrillic, so fine differences in spelling, when writing it using the Roman alphabet, are irrelevant. Have you seen the many, MANY Roman spellings of Muhammed? Same idea.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.142.70.108 (talk) 18:04, 23 December 2016

Vandalism to this page

Okay, vandalism must not be tolerated to this page (or any other page). I just had to fix name, title and "successor", although he never left office of PM. — Preceding unsigned comment added by COrmsbee1 (talk • contribs) 09:52, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

• Have I seen somewhere? What language? Like, Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev is a democrat. (Unlike Vladimir Putin, an autocrat.) Please - please!MouscronER (talk) 11:18, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Request to Add mention of his religion

In his interviews, Medvedev has mentioned his Eastern Orthodox faith and he is specifically presented as a devout Orthodox in an interview he did with ABC. Please, someone make a mention of this. Thanks --76.66.144.31 (talk) 01:01, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

• In December 2005 Medvedev was named Person of the Year by Expert magazine, a limited Russian business weekly. He shared the title with Alexey Miller, CEO of Gazprom.

• However, given United Russia's near-total dominance of Russian politics it was given that Medvedev had effectively clinched the presidency when he was nominated as that party's candidate.

• According to John P. Willerton, the 2008 presidential elections and Medvedev's inauguration "represented an unprecedented moment in the over thousand-year history of the Russian state, as a politically strong and healthy 55-year-old president willingly turned powers to a similarly vigorous leader." At the time of the elections, Putin was at the height of his popularity. Given his substantial majority in the State Duma, Putin could have easily amended the constitution to allow him to serve a third consecutive term but did not.
• Although Putin also had a visible role during the conflict, such as hurrying home from the Beijing Olympics to meet refugees arriving from the conflict zone, it was Medvedev who made the key decisions, authorising the use of force and leading the peace negotiations.
• For Medvedev, the modernisation programme has become one of the most ambitious and important agendas of his presidency.
• In response to the largest demonstrations since the end of the Soviet Union – reported in over 60 cities across Russia in early December 2011 in response to widely reported alleged violations in parliamentary elections and the barring of opposition parties from them – President Medvedev has publicly ordered an investigation of fraud reports.
• During his first year as Prime Minister, Medvedev has presided over tough legislation against smoking in public places in Russia, increases in prices of alcoholic beverages, and stricter punishment for drunk drivers.
• On 14 June 2018 Medvedev announced government's intention to increase the retirement age (from 55/60 to 63/65).
• In October 2008, President Medvedev began posting a videoblog at the presidential website. His videoblog posts have also been posted in the official LiveJournal community blog_medvedev since 21 April 2009 by the Kremlin administration.

Sacking by Putin

TarzanASG I know that you are implying that Medvedev was sacked, and may be he was, but we will require a secondary source explicitly saying this before it can be added here. Accordingly I have removed it for now. --DBigXrayᗙ 11:05, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
