both of them are matured enough and should resolve such problems personally instead of using the media…

This is a disgrace to the prime minister. They should work together to fix this.

with my point of view all that the country people want is peace and prosperity that can be attained only if government functions properly.

we all are extremely worried about the upcoming government in Russia. the prime minister should move, hand in hand, with his president.

it’s not only the media and the press dat matters . It is the language that causes conflicts between the two persons raising issues.

communicating with each other definately makes things easier but it is the media or the translators that should see to the positive side of the conversation(comments).

It’s interesting that English actually lost the familiar “thee/thou” form rather than the formal “you”. At some point we started all getting very formal with each other, even, say, children with parents or siblings. While it’s a shame we don’t have the distinction any more, it saves us a lot of headaches – in my second language, Serbian, I often hear native speakers very uncertain of which form to use, “ti” or “vi”. On the other hand, I seem to recall that one or more of the Scandinavian languages has pretty much consciously done away with formal forms of address – maybe someone can shed more light on that bit of semi-information!

Wow, that’s astounding. Putin’s defiant insult of his President actually makes me worry about the political stability of Russia more than anything else that’s happened in the last two years.
