    I read a great Russian joke about Medvedev years ago, back when he was president and Putin was PM:

    "Putin and Medvedev go out for a dinner meeting in Moscow at a restaurant famed for having vegetable dishes. The waiter asks Putin what he wants. Putin replies "A steak, only a steak." The waiter says "Nothing but a steak?!" Putin replies "yes, a steak." The waiter gets anxious and says "but Mr Prime Minister - what about the vegetable?"

    Putin turns to Medvedev and back to the waiter. "The vegetable will have steak, too."
