Hey Martin,
Well it's not only about Medvedev, it's an old stereotype of imagining 
Russia as a bear playing balalaika with one paw, and eating red caviar with 
the other :D
The more hillarious for me, ethnic russian, was to see that picture ;D

Sorry for offtop, all this makes me remember a story told me by an old 
friend of mine who is jr. manager for an oil company for the last couple of 
years: once he had a couple of german partners, visiting their office, and 
his boss a couple of weeks before gave him orders to arrange those guys to 
see their oil platforms, somewhere near Orenburg.
Well during the lunch brake, those guys asked him if it was true that bears 
wonder the streets in Orenburg - they guy thought that it's their sence of 
humour, and in order not to offence them, said: "Yeah, for sure, they 
sometimes play balalaika and ear caviar when they'r hungry". Partners 
laughed and continued the lunch. You may imagine the look on the guy's face, 
when a couple of hours later, his boss calls him up, and tells to cancel the 
Orenburg flight, because those partners suddenly were getting in a hurry.

First we laughed about it, but after, well....you can't be serious, theese 
were highly educated, fine middle-level managers...we'll the guy still hopes 
that they were really getting in a hurry and not belivieng his fairytales. 
Well we both certainly hope so :)

regards,
vik
