Dmitry Medvedev said in his announcement to journalists that this initiative devoted to his closer communication with online users. And as RIA-Novosti says, his press attaché Natalia Timakova tells that in his first video post on LJ President will congratulate the participants of Russian Internet Forum, whish starts on Wednesday, and say some words about the future of Runet and Government activities in this field.

LJ of Dmitry Medvedev strictly premoderated by 4 accounts: blog_d_medvedev, moderator_1, moderator_2, moderator_3 and according to the rules of his blog you can write the comments only on Russian.

And now he starts a new form of online communication – videoblog on the official presidential site. In his first video speech Medvedev announced international conference on geopolitics, that will take place in Evian, France, and promised to cover there the problem of European security.

As VZ.ru says this video blog will be regulary updated. I think it’s a great PR step that shows our president as an open and more available for people leader. We can only hope that such video speeches will be in English, too.
