Russian president's blog expands

Published: April 21, 2009 at 5:20 PM

MOSCOW, April 21 (UPI) -- Russia's president is adding his voice to the country's most popular social networking site, the Kremlin confirmed Tuesday.

President Dmitry Medvedev will begin adding his kremlin.ru blog posts to LiveJournal, a social networking site that is considered the most popular blogging site in all of Russia.

Press Secretary Natalya Timakova told the RIA Novosti news agency that Medvedev's postings would also be available for comments from cyberspace readers.

Medvedev is a fan of the Internet as a platform for public debate, although RIA Novosti said his blog would be moderated by the same computer experts that oversee his blog.kremlin.ru site.
