Putin and Medvedev singing

[John Dunn]

In the interests of peace and international friendship (or not, as the case may be) I ought to point out that P & M were not the only world leaders to appear in the New year edition of Mul't lichnosti.  A fuller version of the programme can be seen (in two instalments) at:

and

The section with Berlusconi was shown last night on Italian television, and I would imagine that some of the warmth may have now been taken out of the friendship between the Russian and Italian Prime Ministers (well, one can always hope).

Hello all,

If anyone thought that the recently-discussed episode of Putin and Medvedev
singing in a cartoon on Russia's Channel One somehow signaled a rare
appearance of political satire, Viktor Shenderovich (no relation) offers his
biting (as usual) remarks to set the record straight. Here is the link:
