He was born in Saint Petersburg, formerly Leningrad (Weitz 183), and grew up in a 40 m2 apartment in a family of teachers. He was a B student and tried to earn some money from being a street cleaner. At the end of the 1990s, he came to Moscow in order to start a magnificent career of a politician and demonstrate his profound knowledge in politics and sociology that made him the Third and the current President of the Russian Federation.
Yes, the story of Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev is full of unpredictable turns and situations that influenced considerably his life and attitude to people around. Nowadays, the name of Dmitry Medvedev is known to everyone; his manners and traits serve as the best example for young people, and his approaches help many people achieve necessary purposes and make the vast majority of dreams come true.
If a student wants to know the way to success and recognition, one of the possible and the most effective options is to observe and analyze the life of Dmitry Medvedev. Being the son of two teachers, it is not surprising that the young Medvedev was aware of the best human traits, basics of proper behavior, and obligations inherent to every Russian citizen.
As a great President of the Russian Federation, he demonstrates proper skills on how to arrange conflicts (the example is the 2008 South Ossetia War), improve the internal security of the country (the agreement with the Interior Ministry about the necessity of fights against organized crime and terrorism), and promote different types of progress within one particular country (Russia).
As a good example of a husband, Dmitry Medvedev is married once, and his wife Svetlana is considered to be his schoolmate and school love. The development of their relations started in the far 1980s and was strengthened by the birth of their common son, Ilya.
Medvedev has to spend much of his time working and thinking on how to protect his country and people who trust him, this is why it is possible to believe that his activities and duties of the President are all at expense of his personal life. However, strong relations, devoted love, and everyday support help to survive and become an exemplary politician for many people from different countries.
On 7 May 2008, the third President was appointed, and Medvedev took an oath in Kremlin Place. He supported the reforms to improve the current conditions of education and bringing up children; he promised to break the monopoly of the Russian Federation to improve the existed political system, and now he pays much attention to the technological progress to support and protect Russian future generation.
Some people may call his ruling weak and too primitive because of his constant support by the ex-President, Vladimir Putin. However, it is enough to admit that the strategies are chosen, but Putin had a huge potential for future improvements, this is why if Putin’s ideas have sense and power, it is possible to rely on them and think about the prosperity of the nation. And Medvedev demonstrates his confidence and desire to help and support development.
The activities by Medvedev turn out to be a unique lesson to be taught. To be a good President is possible if have enough tutors and advisers; to be a good husband is possible if have supportive wife and family, and to be a good person is to be able to gain respect and recognition. And day by day, Medvedev proves that he can be good from many perspectives.
