Encyclopedic overview

Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev (born 14 September 1965) is a Russian politician and lawyer who served as the President of Russia from 2008 to 2012 and Prime Minister of Russia from 2012 to 2020. As of 2020, he has served as the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia.

Medvedev was elected president in the 2008 election. He was seen as more liberal than his predecessor Vladimir Putin, who was prime minister in Medvedev's presidency. Medvedev's agenda as president was a wide-ranging modernisation programme, aimed at modernising Russia's economy and society, and lessening the country's reliance on oil and gas. During Medvedev's tenure, the United States and Russia signed the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty. In addition to overseeing Russia's recovery from the Great Recession, his presidency also witnessed the Russo-Georgian War. Medvedev also launched an anti-corruption campaign, yet was later being accused of corruption himself.
