More sparing took place today in the speculation over who will run for president of Russia next year.
President Medvedev’s staff unveiled a new website designed to teach children how to be a part of Russia’s political opposition. Stressing that a political opposition and an independent media is crucial to developing democracy, the website’s mission is to teach kids now to understand and uphold the constitution of the Russian Federation…and hold officials accountable to do the same.
For those who read Russian, the site is here.
The website explains that political opposition ensures “the authorities constantly feel their responsibility towards citizens” and an independent media informs citizens about mistakes by those in power.
