Medvedev (Russia President) now in Twitter
- dotcoma 16y agowow. Russia now 'democratic' at long last ;-)
- seiji 16y ago"In Twitter" in both senses of the word: http://twitter.com/skr/status/16864317315 http://twitter.com/skr/status/16864317315
- orblivion 16y agohttp://twitter.com/KremlinRussia http://twitter.com/KremlinRussia for those who keep it real
- pavel_lishin 16y agoI wonder if he writes both, or if he has a translator whose full-time job is to watch the Russian feed, and translate.
- mkramlich 16y agoI picture it going something like this: 1. you follow Medvedev on Twitter 2. KGB follows you
- volida 16y ago3. If you aren't they will also follow you just in case.
- wildmXranat 16y agoThe red-tape force is strong with this one
- vaksel 16y agothere is no more KGB, it was called FSK(federal service of counter-espionage) in 1993 and in 1995 they renamed it to FSB(federal service for security)
- WiseWeasel 16y agoWhy did I read that like a Yakov Smirnoff joke?
- migiale 16y agofake
- leff_f 16y agoLogically, he should be following Putin.
- xelipe 16y agoIn Mother Russia you don't follow public officials on Twitter, public officials follow you.
- raheemm 16y agoWhat it must be like to work in an office where world leaders drop by
- vaksel 16y agoyou'd think they'd bump the Kremlin dude and get that account instead of going with KremlinRussia(do any other countries have Kremlins?)...I'm sure he could be convinced to part with the account
- zokier 16y agois he really personally bothering to write there or is it just another pr stunt?
- patrickk 16y agoIf I was to guess, I would say that this is tied to the article on HN a few weeks back about how the Russians want their own version of Silicon Valley. Rather than sending their president to San Francisco to see how he "gets the web", they would do a lot better by sorting out their corruption problems and improving civil liberties (these are the words of Russian commenters on that article, not me hating :-) )
- Janteh 16y agoAnyone has more information on why he visited the Twitter office?
- miguelpais 16y agoTo get the Verified Account badge?
- IgorPartola 16y agoHe also visited the Apple Campus: http://twitpic.com/1zcizj http://twitpic.com/1zcizj
- rabidsnail 16y agoIn English, for some reason.
- jganetsk 16y agoHe has two accounts, one English, one Russian. The tweets are the same. http://twitter.com/KremlinRussia http://twitter.com/KremlinRussia http://twitter.com/KremlinRussia_E http://twitter.com/KremlinRussia_E
