Russia’s state television poked gentle fun at its ruling duo of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev, in a New Year cartoon of them dancing and singing on Red Square.
Amid fizzing speculation about which of the men will run for the Kremlin in presidential elections in 2012, the cartoon showed the two singing a duet with Medvedev playing the accordion and Putin the tambourine.
The sketch, shown on Channel One’s New Year gala show overnight, was essentially a sequel to a similar cartoon shown on the same day last year that was seen as a rare moment of satire on Russia’s tightly controlled television.
