Dmitry Medvedev is elected to the post of President of the country on March 2, 2008. He becomes the third president of the Russian Federation.

Speech from the United Russia party
In August, the President is informed about the death of peacekeepers from Russia in South Ossetia. The new ruler gave the order to open fire to kill. On August 8, shelling of military facilities began. On August 12, the presidents of Russia and France approved a plan to resolve the differences. Already at the very beginning of his presidential career, Dmitry Medvedev faced the most difficult conflicts.
During the work of the president, the working conditions of individual entrepreneurs and small businesses improved. In 2010, the President issues Federal Law No. 244, which began the history of the Skolkovo Center.
According to the Minister of Internal Affairs, as a result of the reforms, the level of social security and life of representatives of internal organs has been improved.
Dmitry Medvedev is also the head of the reform of the Armed Forces. It included the following provisions:
- Optimization of the number of officers.
- Optimization of the management system.
- Changing military education.
During his presidency, the politician was also engaged in agriculture. It is believed that he continued the line of Vladimir Putin. In 2009, the politician declares that grain production is a priority. In 2010, a foreign source, Le Figaro, reported that wheat production in the state could for the first time in history exceed the grain harvest in America.
On September 24, 2011, at the XII Congress of the United Russia party, Dmitry Medvedev proposed that the congress support the candidacy of Vladimir Putin in the presidential elections in 2012 and announced his readiness to become Prime Minister of Russia
In 2010, Dmitry Medvedev had the idea of creating his own right-wing party that would unite the middle class and support liberal reforms, then Anatoly Chubais and Alexander Voloshin, head of the Presidential Administration of Putin's first term and Yeltsin's last, were on his side, thinking about returning to active political life. A new goal for the President was the creation of a two-party system, where the "United Russia" would remain supporters of "Putinism", and the new party would gather all the liberals and progressives.
Medvedev held talks with Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov and Sberbank head German Gref, offering them the post of Party Chairman, all emphasized the correctness of the plan, but refused due to controllability of actions. While considering the project, Medvedev also negotiated with Valentin Yumashev, whom he asked to help with recruiting, and with Tatyana Yumasheva, Boris Yeltsin's daughter.
As a result, businessman Mikhail Prokhorov agreed to the role of the Chairman of the party, with whom Vladislav Surkov agreed, but later there were significant disagreements between the Administration employee and the billionaire due to Prokhorov's uncontrollability, who, in particular, contrary to Surkov's advice, left the Ural fighter against drug addicts on the party list Evgeny Roizman. After such a discord in relations, Medvedev began to be convinced that it was a mistake to rely on Prokhorov, and Surkov began to develop technology for the raider seizure of the party.
Watching Medvedev and Surkov gain the trust of the hipsters, Putin's siloviki became wary of a change of course, and in late summer 2011 (on a joint holiday), Putin told Medvedev that it would be better if he returned to the presidency.
On May 26, 2012, Dmitry Medvedev was elected chairman of the United Russia party. After the inauguration of Vladimir Putin, the State Duma began to cancel the laws adopted under Medvedev, and the Government headed by him abandoned his initiatives, which was regarded in the media as “demedvedization”.
Dmitry Medvedev met his soul mate early. His wife, Svetlana Linnik, studied with the future politician at the same school, in a parallel class. Sympathy was born a long time ago, but the hero of the article confessed his feelings only in the senior class.
But then the paths of the lovers parted. They entered different educational institutions and did not communicate. But one meeting changed their lives. In 1989, the marriage took place. In August 1995, the young couple become parents. The first child was named Ilya. Son Ilya (born 1995), in 2007 and 2008, under his own name, starred in the Yeralash film magazine (issues No. 206 and No. 219). In the summer of 2012, it was reported that Ilya Medvedev applied to three Russian universities (Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University and MGIMO), but finally chose MGIMO as his education. At the end of August, Ilya Medvedev was on the list of those enrolled in the International Law Faculty of MGIMO. In 2012, the young man scored 359 points out of the maximum 400 in the entrance tests.
