Prime Minister Vladimir Putin talks with United Russia leaders
“I would like to thank United Russia for ensuring that the Government’s anti-crisis measures have been carefully considered at all levels, including at the regional and top party levels, as well as in party clubs. They were not simply brought under consideration; I know that the proposals have been formulated and criticism offered. Today we will speak about this in detail.”
“I ordered the Ministry of Finance to prepare and hold a meeting, which I will attend, to examine how and where banks with state participation invest the funds they receive from the government. This mainly applies to the money allocated to banks as part of the anti-recessionary plan.”
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin met with Patriarch Cyril of Moscow and All Russia
"Recent years have seen excellent contacts between the Church and the state in every field of our partnership, which concerns spiritual support by the Church and material support by the state."
