Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Vladmir Putin announced this week that he’d like the next President of Russia to be Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev. And yesterday, Medvedev returned the favor, saying he’d like to have Vladmir Putin as his Prime Minister. With Putin’s popularity rating at over 80%, Medvedev is a virtual shoe-in — so we have to ask — who is Medvedev and what does this all mean for democracy in Russia?
