President Medvedev has asked Finance Minister Kudrin for his resignation following Kudrin's public refusal to keep his position in the future if Medvedev heads the Russian Government. Kudrin has complied. President Medvedev has signed Kudrin's resignation hours after the wrangle took place, the Russian president's press secretary Natalia Timakova reported. During the Presidential Commission on Modernization in Dimitrovgrad in Central Russia, Dmitry Medvedev stressed that everyone who does not agree with his politics is free to resign.

  • 3:36 my favorite moment) Kudrin sooo cute! XD

  • 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.

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

  • 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.
