It's interesting that he called out Medvedev as a voice of reason. Outside of Russia, Medvedev is often seen as a simple puppet of Putin. I'm reminded of a joke I heard a few years ago: One day, Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev went out to a restaurant for a fancy dinner. Putin, naturally, ordered first. "I'll have the steak." The waiter replied, "Very good, sir. Now, what about the vegetable?" To which Putin answered, "He'll have the steak too."
