Dear God, get Dimon [Note: nickname for Dmitry Medvedev] a new toy already… no need to be ashamed…
clear:
Nobody’s going to ask the government their opinion. Now, they’ve all been replaced by a single vertical structure – the president and his administration.
winsearcher:
iPhone [Note: another nickname for Dmitry Medvedev] is clearly dreaming of bringing Russia closer to American time. Maybe even moon-time.

Yeah, he doesn’t give a f***, that idiot doesn’t care what time it is, he doesn’t work anyway!

Putin has decided – WINTER TIME! Then when we have the Summer Olympics in St Petersburg in 2004, Putin will decide – SUMMER TIME
milenna:
It’s a real shame that they’re not preparing for it. Give us back our stolen hour! I’m for winter time. It’s closer to astronomic time. I’m sick of getting up in complete darkness.
