Eu conheço razoavelmente bem alguns fatos da Rússia, mas não sabia quase nada do atual presidente (até chegar na parte Personal Life do Wikipedia).

Medvedev is a devoted fan of English hard rock, listing Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin as his favorite bands. He is a collector of their original vinyl records and has previously said that he has collected all of the recordings of Deep Purple.[70][71]

As a youth, he was making copies of their records, although these bands were then on the official state-issued blacklist.[72] In February 2008, Medvedev and Sergei Ivanov attended a Deep Purple concert in Moscow together.[73]

Despite a busy schedule, Medvedev always reserves an hour each morning and again each evening to swim[71] and lift weights. He swims 1,500 meters (approximately one mile), twice a day. He also jogs, plays chess, and practices yoga. Among his hobbies are reading the works of Mikhail Bulgakov and he is also a fan of the Harry Potter books after asking JK Rowling for her autograph when they met during the G-20 London Summit in April 2009.[74] He is also a fan of football and follows his hometown professional football team, FC Zenit Saint Petersburg.[75]

Nunca imaginei tudo isso.

Estou tentando pronunciar o último nome dele corretamente, “Medvedev”, que é algo como “Míd-v—-í-div”. Fácil? Pronuncia várias vezes e me conta sua experiência depois.

– Dimítri Anatolívitch Míd-IIII-div

(Russo, uma língua muito simpática).
