Here’s a silly post about Russia’s new Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. There are some serious posts in the works, I promise!

The President of the Russian Federation website has been quite dramatically updated with information on Dmitry Medvedev in the last few days. For the Russian speakers, the Uznai Prezidenta update is quite priceless. However, for the English speakers, I want to specifically point out Medvedev’s Photo Album and the section About Myself. The quote below is how Medvedev describes his choice of career…

“To be honest, I didn’t give much thought as a child to what I would like to do when I grew up. I liked being out and about, playing games, playing sport, but later, as I grew a bit older, there were several professions that interested me. I wanted to go into chemistry (I really liked the chemistry experiments we did in school), and I also wanted to become a teacher.”
