No. Dmitry Medvedev has done nothing notable to help Russia. However, the changes he has tried to make might have longer term effects than any notable changes if they are successful. One of the reasons Communism collapsed came from internal corruption. (This tremendous corruption still exists in China.) When Russia threw out communism, the former communist leadership took over as the leadership in the new Russia and remained corrupt. Medvedev is trying to change the police department from the old corrupt KGB to a modern police department using modern police techniques. He is trying to use the same techniques on a national basis that he used in Leningrad on a local basis. Catherine the Great lost a war with Turkey in the late 1700s due to corruption in the provisions and manufacture of naval equipment. If he is successful he will reverse 300 years of Russian tradition. I wish him well.

Does Dmitry Medvedev have Armenian roots?

The following is translated from a Dutch source. I reproduce it as I got it. A Russian journalist to RIA Novosti asked Russian President Dmitry Medvedev if he has Jewish ancestry? Russian President Dmitry Medvedev replied that the rumors about his Jewish ancestry are inaccurate. He added that his ancestors are from Adana (Western Armenia in Turkey now) but he was born in Russia. He added in "I want everyone to be clear that I am Armenian, surname of my mother was Naxshikyan what the word Naxshik comes oudarmeens. The surname of my father was Bagratyan. This name is also purely Armenian. I was forced to change name to be head of Russian secret service (KGB) in France to work the cold war times. Since France had large Armenian community should not Arms Irish secret service agent working in France. That I have an Armenian surname changed to Russian. I am 100% Armenian."
