Medvedev lectures Kudrin, suggests Finance Minister resigns

[TheDirtyplanet]

Has a clear resemblance to the warning given by Putin to Khodorkovski before the latter was sent to Siberia.

[Yowzoe]

Russians will be ruled by Czars like he-man Putin until they get off the vodka and false pride and begin to embrace genuine democracy.

So sad.

[trinimark123abc]

I love that tie 

[A76158]

take that Kydrin!!! never think you are to cool!!!!!!

[CaptainGrimes1]

Someone's going to gulag...

[1thruZ]

Why weren't Putin/Medvedev able to put in a finance minister they agree with? Putin is able to control the presidential elections so I'm not clear on why this is different. Based on what I hear from western media, it seems like they could have just had him killed if they wanted.

[alphaknave]

@1thruZ "Based on what I hear from western media" <- your problem

[sgg19847]

[alex123vs]

Medvedev who was happy to be used as a water bottle to keep seat worm for Putin behave as a schoolboy beating a smaller person. Why didnt he dismiss Putin when he contradicted him in public about WTO? @#$% midget

[merculiv]

@alex123vs ahh probably because they are good friends and work together. What planet have you been on?

[merculiv]

Kudrin got an invite to the right wing and ignored it...what ah loser man! He deserved that for sure! I'm sure hes signing papers as we speak......LMAO

Long Live Bro Putin!!!!!!!!!

[santran]

MEDVEDEV for re-election Not the TWAT Putin. THUMBS if you agree.

[Kinkspace]

I love how Medvedev handled this :)

президент-шавка путина

[fedorin1234]

Oh my god, people, don't be that trustful ! All these pompous shows is just a big fake for stupid people. Think with your own head, try not to believe official shows like this one. It's all about big money, and as long as we fully trust our governments and their words, those bosses will be preying on us, making their pockets bigger and bigger. We all have to do something. At least not to succumb to provocations. As for that video: I don't think it's true. It easily could be fake.

[RussianAussie33]

@fedorin1234 Why fake? U do not believe that Kudrin could have different views on financial matters than Medvedev? Why to look for some conspiracy in everything?

[squirrelwalk74]

@fedorin1234

fake from which corner? no reason to make such a acting in front of cameras. BTW i can say OH my god as well but it dosnt change nothing anyway.

[jmtomes2001]

Can we say dictator here, spreme ruler, etc Maybe i'm wrong here but i would keep that in mind when people start disapearing by whatever means! It's pretty obvious even losely translated and staying objective.

[RussianAussie33]

@jmtomes2001LOL!!! I hope u do not really mean that Kudrin would disappear just because his disagreement with the President. If this was the case Russia would'd been without professional economists long ago. Plenty of ministers resigned in the past and some even turned to opposition because their disagreements with PM or President.

[Stridus7]

Medvedev told Kudrin to resign because Putin told him so. Kudrin critisized the Putin/Medvedev 2012 president bid.

So thats why Kudrin has to resign, for speaking against the nontolerant Putin regime.

[RedGunBullets]

@Stridus7

kudrin is tight with putin, he workd under putin for long long long befor he worked for medvedev, he was apointed finance minster for putin already in the year 2000, or nearly 12 years ago, and he was deputy prime ministers under putin also, and as you can see here he wants firstly to consult the prime minster (putin) first befor his decision, so no i don't buy that he has problems with putin, putin is his man for nearly 2 dacades

[Kinkspace]

@RedGunBullets Kudrin got way too up the arse of corrupt western banksters & willingly surrendered to their agendas, that was never going to be tolerated.

[vorjay]

@Stridus7 Kudrin was a Putin sycophant. He has a problem with Medvedev not Putin.

Why do you think he said, "After I consult with the Prime Minister (Putin).". It was a jab at Medvedev.

[N1ceGuyEdd1e]

Damn, Medved is a hard-ass. It would be cool to see him and Pooty-Poot duke it out to see who would win. I'd pay $15 to see that fight. 

[P1B1U1H1]

This is not the real story. Likely Kudrin refused to take blame for some failure on the part of the government. Some things are the same in every government.

[veniceit1]

Lectures are the tools of academics. Raw, swift action is the mark of a strong leader. Once the problem was referred to Putin, swift action resulted.

[OghamTheBold]

[adv1fuoco2supermoto3]

Russia is now F@#ked! Election campaign, what a joke! Putin is there just for the money for himself and his cronies - another 12 years! FFS

[SAMTOMAS]

@adv1fuoco2supermoto3 yes 12 years for Mr Putin to fuck Nato's pupets good.he's back

[RussianAussie33]

@adv1fuoco2supermoto3 He meant parliament elections in December. It's not that straight forward as u think. The ruling United Russia party may lose some seats (so I hope). The president elections are in March 2012. There is a little doubt that they will be won by big P as he is still the most popular in Russia whatever u think about him. (I myself is not his big fan)

[N0MWU]

This is what the USA needs a very strong leader like Medvedev

[Trofimov174]

@N0MWU What is wrong with you people? Medvedev - the gray, not a serious leader in the history of Russia. In Russia, nobody takes him seriously, it's just a puppet of Putin

[N0MWU]

@N0MWU Then we need a leader like Putin

[mac9876ab]

Many people consider Mr. D. Medvedev a "soft man". But he is not! I want to remind that he firmly responded to the Georgian aggression in the south Caucasus in summer 2008. He also recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent countries. Mr. D. Medvedev should rather be called Russian Bear (rus. Medved = eng. Bear).

[adv1fuoco2supermoto3]

@mac9876ab  medvedev = pizdun

[378maksim]

WTF dima

[moto2kx2]

What an IDIOT! all the guy did was DISAGREE! That's WHAT YOU WANT from your staff! OTHERS VIEWS!

[romanbuehler]

@moto2kx2 not when the "other views" are simply not objective, but just suggestive... read upon their disagreement and reconsider your statement... medvedev is one of the few real presidential presidents left on the planet... by presidential i mean: he really IS a president... unlike other individuals, which are led by background forces that have no interest in the public...

to disagree, or not, you can still convince to make things happen, but not by pressure, like kudrin wanted to try...

[romanbuehler]

@romanbuehler wrong choise of words... by "suggestive" i wanted to say "subjective"...

[moto2kx2]

@romanbuehler IT's what WE DON'T KNOW that's important. What led up to this PUBLIC ATTEMPT to LET THE PUBLIC KNOW.

Welcome to the insidiousness of POLITICS.

[leoclub626]

what a bitch slap!!! I loved it. I hope its genuine though.

Kudrin taunts Medvedev

I'm not a fan of Medvedev but gotta give credit where it's due....he handled this challenge well

[romanbuehler]

@Husar101 very...

[blackstars56]

daaaaym medvedev really is BOSS

[signboyy]

i wonder if they discovered the finance minister was secretly in collusion with international banks. like most of america's politicians.

[megatroll]

At least he's not trying to disguise the dictatorship like the ridiculous American political travestie show where you have the "illusion of choice". He clearly says what's on the plate.

[Baldwynmayhem]

@megatroll It has to be a dictatorship, else Russia would be part of the Global Banking Cartels coffers as well, like 100% of western countries. Our elite are crazy, I think the West will perish, we are up against potentially a billion indonesians (they are muslim and do not like what the west has done), billion chinese, 300 million russians and the same technology. billion indians as well up for grabs, so you know, it's a very dangerous game, and it just doesnt need to happen.

[romanbuehler]

@Baldwynmayhem it is not really a dictatorship even... medvedev has set a target, and the public agrees... why does kudrin wants to oppose the public in the first place? he is a servant of the public, so he should act accordingly... he obviously does not do that, so there is no place for him in that government, conclusively, he would just be a hazard of the public... remove the hazard, done... there's no dictation in that in my point of view... besides, kudrin is not a reasonable person...

[Baldwynmayhem]

@romanbuehler that's fair enough mate too, as long as the russian people are generally happy, even if they aren't, it's none of the western countries business what the russians do. And like Medvedeve said "you could have come and seen me in provate, but you openly spoke out" of which there is definitely a political agenda behind it.

[TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

I wonder if Putin was a finance minister how would he talk to him

[TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

I would like Obama talk this way to congress but it is impossible. On the other hand bully style talk is not a democratic way also

[Baldwynmayhem]

@TurkiyeCumhurbaskani Obama is a sellout shill, if people can't work out why the US, and in fact the world has been stagnant the past 3 years economically, than wake the hell up, there is no need for it, and it's engineered and perpetuated by the shills in the 2 party systems around the world. It's all rhetoric and thank god some are starting to show signs (albeit probably far too late) of movement on this front. Obama does not give a flying fart about anyone else but himself.

[kiKSeRb]

Medvedev talking tought! Nice. ...No big loss as Kudrin goes- he was more and more of a NWO pupet in the recent years, answering more and more to his AmeriKKKan overloads, then the citizens of Russia. Good ridance, I say.

[SilencerRPMs]

Damn Medvedev is a badass. lol he doesn't sugar coat anything.

[trinimark123abc]

I always liked Medvedev!

[MrAkurvaeletbe]

Haha "what a fucking badass" ?

People seem to forget that it's not a company with a boss that can do whatever he likes, like a diktator, cuz after all, companies don't operate after democracy...

This is a president who should make the right choices for his country, not throw away everybody who doesn't agree with him...too much money and corruption in politics...

[OrphanPaper]

i know there a translation problem and the point being made is solidarity in government as one in such a position would except to have the loyalty of there governess colleges , I get it like my goo lag play on words very funny , politics , morals v ambition, pleasure v duty ,

[CJBombaYe]

Medvedev's right hand mand looks like a real asskisser.

[RealNarod28]

@CJBombaYe this man actually is behind all Kremlim politics :) His is the main ideologist of the Kremlin :)

search him on google, names Vladislav Surkov, interesting and smart person :).

[esh1]

Wow awesome video!

This is how AIPAC deals with presidents and congressmen, senators, etc in U.S. but hey shhhh shhhh this is still suppose to be a secret....

[TubeYouwilda]

one second. this is not the real translation. isn't it?

[Kinkspace]

Good move Medvedev, anyone in bed with the terrorist banksters as he was is not to be trusted & has no place in government if misfortune further down the line is to be avoided.

[evidere]

Like a BOSS ...

[coldplay9982]

ITS BETTER THAT HE QUIT. THEY HAVE A HABIT OF POISONING THEIR ENEMYS. NOW THE RUSSIAN MAFIA CAN GET INTO THE RUSSIAN TREASURY. MORE MONEY FOR PUTIN AND HIS SIDEKICK. THE GOP REDNECKS, RACISTS AND BIBLE THUMPING BIGOTS WILL HAVE A FIELD DAY RUNNING UP THE DEBT FOR THE USA MILITARY. HERE WE GO AGAIN

[grimstuka]

What a fucking badass! Putin & Medvedev for 2012 :D

[hiimkaith]

What a boss.

[shahin347]

Now thats what I call a gangster !

[crumcon]

this is mother fukin BOSS man. this is what obama should have said to his lilly willy in Washington

[nightkraawler]

what the ?? on one side Meddy here is implying transparency of government , while at the same time he is firing someone under him for doing the same. What he is saying is , You cant keep with my choreography, so now you are fired.But I will imply that this is not would I really want, but no really I am firing you , pack your sh..t up.

[glennd7962]

Maybe Kudrin, unlike most Russians apparently, is tired of sucking Putin's dik. Just sayin...

[glennd7962]

[hiimkaith]

[dieboodskapper]

Ho Ho Ho........nothing but sensational political stage teatrics. Make no mistake, this one was very very very carfully planted. With the personal backing and consent of Putin of corse.

[WiseWeeabo]

I very much like translation on left channel and original on right (although I'd like it the other way around but dividing it up is very good).

[MyTube22T]

Mr. Kudrin, was the career dissipation LED furiously blinking in the corner of of eye, sir?

[spankyfranky99]

Medvedev is basically the puppet of Tsar Vladimir II.

[YouTheory]

@spankyfranky99 no because the finance minister was a close friend of Putin ... and he got fired.

[jgig22]

if russia doesnt chill they will end up like the americans

[Letyaga1]

я предпочитаю Кудрина Медведеву. кто-то в правительстве должен работать.

[pzabkiewicz]

sad to know that this man will be killed tonight.. and whole his family will be murdred... and when he said there are diferences between him and president he allready know that.. you can see it in his face.. sad to know

[brscic]

@pzabkiewicz : You are crazy,.. You should be more worried about the president's life and his family's life, once he stood on the grounds of constitution and law against global financiers,..

[xardas411]

Sieg heil

[eldubioso]

Freedom of thought, especially in the Russian government, is repressed, as this video clearly shows. You are either with the lies of United Russia or you are against it. In which case, your time of publicity has just ended and your time of obscurity begins. Is there an alternative to Putinism/Medvedevism? Having Putin at the helm won't be any different.

[RussianAussie33]

@eldubioso Yeh, yeh that's why he was the finance minister for like 10 years and recieved "the best finance minister" award in 2006 by IMF. The disagreaments b/w Putin and kudrin were well known but they still worked together all that time.

[eldubioso]

Freedom of thought, especially in the Russian government, is repressed, as this video clearly shows. You are either with the program of lies or you are against it.

[DoctorPayne13]

Who's the guy to Medvedev's right? He seems rather pleased by the situation.

[OlegTar]

@DoctorPayne13

Surkov. He is fan of Vladimir Putin. He is working in administration of russian presiden. But I dont know he is pleased.

[covertgreen]

hahaha good stuff. well said by the President. good man. that must be a kick in the balls of the uk and usa.

[garrethdavis]

Now that's a man who has balls.

[StraussBR]

So you thought only Putin had balls

[Endostatic]

That's how business is done! Medvedev and Putin tagteaming for Russia. if only the UK had such leaders.

[buzmach]

Come on Kudrin. kick his ass on tv. You can't miss.

[Endostatic]

@buzmach i dunno Medvedev is a small guy, bet he's fast, he'll get all KGB on dat spectacled fat man.

[mikethebodacious]

Medvedev sounds like a fascist dickhead in this video. United Russia holds the vast majority of seats in Russian Parliament and Medvedev helps keep it that way.

[p4rt1]

People shouldn't ask if there is Democracy in Russia (cause we all know there is no) but they should ask if Democracy is the right thing for Russia!!!

We all know what happend to the poor Russians because of their democratic president Jelzin! The west liked this Russian Democracy although a lot of Russians sufferd hardly. With Putin they are doing way better and the West starts to complain!

If you ask me it is just western politics with double moral standards!

[logicaust]

How farcical.

Medvedev actually believes people think he's in charge. Putin's hand is so far up his rectum you can see his thumb manipulate the jaw.

Also, his distain for the processes laid out in the Russian constitution are plain (the President can't compell ministers to resign; the Prime Minister must recommend this action to the President). So yeah, good to see a healthy level of respect for the laws of the country.

I feel so bad for Russia; such history, yet these jokers are in charge.

Putin became useless when he comes to international issues . The Soviets power was buried in Afghanistan . Now the USA will follow the same path . Afghanistan brings curse and shame to any country that attacks it . Why ?. This is what the geniuses Gorbachev, Neilson, Putin, G.W. Bush and Obama will answer us !!!!, Lol.....!!!.

[Rockguitarnow]

We in America wish President Obama would speak like that to the Treasury secretary and the fed bankers. :D

[DancingYeti187]

@Rockguitarnow you got that one right ...loool we wish Cameron could do the same over here in the UK ...Medved dealt with this individual loool and on live tv! no back door shit...

[Hauteur723]

@Rockguitarnow he won't do that because they funded his campaign... the bailout is just his way of paying them back

[DragonBaine]

nice!!!! respect !!! how long can i comment be! just those 2 words enough!

Thats Russians man ...they don't tolerate shit from nobody ....looool could you ever see Obama doing this??

[strongfoot2009]

Putin is going to be the next president of Russia. This is called the real Russian democracy . Putin, Medvedev, Putin, Medvedev.....etc. This is a monarchy and the Russians have no say on who governs them !!!!.

[BVargas78]

@strongfoot2009 Russians like Putin and Medvedev, thats why they vote for them. It won't last, but for the moment they have seen living standard improve and the army modernise and russia have it's pride restored after the embarassing 90's. They like this.

[strongfoot2009]

@BVargas78 : there is NO democracy in Russia. The whole world knows that even the KGB....Lol.

[BVargas78]

@strongfoot2009 yet the russians have more freedoms today than at any point in their history. That is fact.

[gillosu14]

Medvedev looks soft , but he's not.

[BNPpatriot]

that Medvedev character should tell the world the facts about what REALLY happened to the submarine 'Kursk'...actually the TRUTH is it was torpedoed by a US sub that was shadowing it and considered itself under threat so it fired first ask later..don't believe all the b/s about a 'torpedo propellant explosion'.

[TheRetiredtrucker]

@BNPpatriot LMAO the truth was the sub was made in Soviet Russia, testing a new soviet torpedo and it exploded, shitty workmanship

[DickCheneyXX]

@BNPpatriot LOL Kursk conspiracies to hide the shitty procedures? I wasnt aware of that one, very intertaining though. It remind me of Tom Clancy's work.

Do you seriously believe that a US sub would have risked WW3? When was the last real sub on sub engagement? 1945?

[goldstep999]

Wow, I didn't expect Medvedev to lose it like this in public.

Too bad, Kudrin was a VERY good finance minister. He took Russia through the crisis and came out with flying colors. In fact, he was voted Europe's best finance minister last year. May be Putin will reinstate him eventually. Kudrin never saw eye to eye with Medvedev.

[shmiggen]

That finance minister better wise up. Wipe that smirk off his face. Russians don't have a history of looking kindly on wise-asses.

[abarzilai664]

Sounds like Dimitri is giving him the message "you either do it my way or the highway." W. Bush was criticzed for that.

[alphaknave]

Anyone have the link to a video with Kudrin's statements made in the USA that Medvedev refers to?
