Dmitry Medvedev is the current prime minister of the Russian Federation, having served as president from 2008-2012. The youngest president to have served, taking office at the age of 42, he is associated by netizens with technology, and is an avid fan of Twitter and Instagram. While generally seen as more liberal than Vladimir Putin, many see him as little more than Putin’s lapdog. When questioned on this, however, his response was “I am the leader of this state, I am the head of this state, and the division of power is based on this”.
