President Medvedev opens a Facebook account

Russian President and tech lover Dmitry Medvedev announced yesterday on Twitter that he has opened a Facebook account.

24 hours later, Medvedev had been “liked” by over 2,800 Facebook users, but his Friend Activity page displayed only a news story – dated, for strange reasons, from late August 2011 – about his meeting with Bielorussian president Alexander Lukashenko.

The Russian president opened his Twitter account in June 2010. The account won an award at a Russian blogger contest earlier this year.

While Medvedev’s tweets are in Russian language, he has apparently chosen English to communicate on Facebook.
