What time is it? Russia's Medvedev resists change

MOSCOW (AP) - When the sun will come today? In Russia, it is an intense debate, and one that can reflect the stature of the sinking of the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

Medvedev said Thursday that it has no plans to immediately reverse its decision to leave Russia during summer all year round.

The progress made in 2011 when he became president has been very popular since the nation was plunged into darkness range until late morning through the winter.

And now it is not clear how long the decision will actually take place.

Mentor Medvedev, Vladimir Putin, who has returned to the presidency in May after spending four years of premiership because of term limits, indicated that Russia can come back any time soon.

Putin said in December that attaches permanently to daylight saving time would make it difficult for European television viewers to watch the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia's Black Sea resort of Sochi.

Skip Daylight Saving Time is one of the few reforms that Medvedev has survived the return of Putin to the presidency.

Since the return of Putin, Medvedev more initiatives - to decriminalize defamation to expel government officials from state control of management of the company - has been methodically reversed.

Of course, Putin has been a very hard contrast to the platform of modernization Medvedev. The president has supported a series of repressive bills introduced severe penalties for those joining unauthorized protests and imposed new restrictions on groups that promote democratic rights.

Opposition activists have faced a, query, search and arrest, and three members of the rebellion of the punk band Pussy was sentenced to two years in prison for anti-Putin protest in Moscow's main cathedral.

Medvedev and Putin has avoided addressing difficult new course to defend his master, but it became increasingly cornered and helpless, despite his show of loyalty.

State-controlled television stations have narrowed the scope of their activities, and a newspaper article recently said that the network had received orders from the Kremlin to cast him in a negative light and focus on unpopular decisions, such as the weather changes.

Izvestia newspaper recently published a leak of official documents critical to the performance of staff Medvedev, requiring angry rebuke from his office.

Thursday ', the publication of a letter in December by Jean-Claude Killy, head of the coordination panel of the International Olympic Committee for Sochi, indicating that the IOC calls for a return to Russia during the winter, but a warning that such a decision should be made as soon as possible.
