a small. part of georgia and you all know what came out of it they got it isn't what they deserved and we had to recognize. syria as an independent state. i mean of course i know that my friends colleagues. and all good russian people and we don't hate georgia. georgia we like that georgian people and we have all said saved georgia. in the past no matter what certain politicians in georgia see. and sooner or later he will leave the political arena and when another leader saying we are ready to resort diplomatic relations and go as far as they are really to sort of them now let's talk about. of course this is also

a situation of love and. we have many arguments with the president. is a very difficult and emotional type of person but the one thing i can say about him is he money is a difficult decision and he considered it well and then he made this difficult decision he was one of the. signings of the on the customs union now he's in there a proponent of the idea of the eurasian economic union i think this is a very good position and it will definitely develop our relations with. the situation with the states is more difficult many times i thought about visiting those countries and every time i talk to my aid in. we can tell them to consider this possibility they do something bad about russia and he lets us. but. you

do such things supporting nazism inserted so it's up to those countries up to their leaders like of them what their position is more broadly or if they don't talk about the russians or the russian missiles in our country is a very good relations with them because our cultural historical. and i strongly believe that i can't get a certain top level will resume at some point but i just hope they will not i mean to the russians are terrible at what dear there is a bug to hear them limb from limb and. can we talk about. the fairies now. so in case he becomes prime minister and bill want to leave we all understand that you will. be so speaking about what he only put in the word as you call it big government. so you have the existing government. which is. what others with. to insist that what is it that does not exist.

so for instance is a prime minister you have your governor your cabinet and speaking about the big open government and i mean my personal opinion feeling i'm mistaken that you didn't know that it's going to be some new agency some sort of a public chamber where there's something respectable coming together discuss something but nothing really. there. we don't really know where and there's no defined scope responsibility for that why do you use this agency body. so you probably realize that open government that we need. the bigger but then everybody gets here and. we have many government officials the way it is now we'll have more than anybody. so anyway this

open government that the explorer of course this is just an expert community. forum for experts it's not like the open government will make decisions instead of the real government this we have you ridiculous it's the same time i don't agree with you but this will be just another forum for additional questions my own limited use of my plan is. become the prime minister but. i want you. to discuss all. you can make political decisions at this. forum and if they point out to me that there are certain problems related to those decisions what i'll just stop those just situations and i will not just test them a lot of it is not my sense of by the way the public chamber is also very have to. look at them they're very interesting that's an interesting forum. just in the

stock period how people in many ways but like. organization can only tell the government. they were put into this is our position and leave you make your decision this decision if you go ahead and you'll make a mistake going on there will be some consequences and i was glad that there was and i would have thought that they can. now. this is open government actually it is cleary important worldwide. it's a tool for upward social mobility and for many people who are currently experts. in the business managers. medium sized businesses annuity i will tell you there still i will use this for social. sector going to the government and it's on this idea that if you have this government teach this is going on and the other

information technology we're talking about the. fact that our societies are changing as soon as something cabins everybody's aware and then another at them for talking. to the government what and just recently people were making fun of governors of taking a blog you know they're. just what you mean saving the president and he. would there be a log and so. i really see that when you're not. governor it receives all kinds of messages in the social media he can't ignore that mail and i did. tell him we have this problem with. the government any asked to respond to the situation this is the way the open government story works so i think it will be a useful flood form and i hope it will be effective through political was covered in

one of the movies so if it has. you say you become the prime minister. do you know who you're going to have. to have your way we are ready to take down the list to do you know who is going to be there and the will normally they are pushed or. put it down deputy prime minister is calling the seven of them are. not though it. keeps us going for a little while all i can tell you at this point. my intention is going and this is also the intention of president. i've been i used to have a radical change in the cabinet. we have discussed with him we. would discuss various options who should be in charge of water. and i think it's very obvious. what we

need is a new people new faces they said the same sign although it is a bit the missile is going to come to the government ok let's do something for him . then but you know best possible option and sort of in the church no it doesn't work like that we have to get engaged to go work from the very start we can't have the reagan we can't have any interruption that's why you. who will. not maybe not forever just for a year or two ago it was there should be this balance between continuity and new thesis this is called the new government will work in the other going to be many people say many changes yes there will be managing just all in a system well you have some sort of bad it's difficult for legacy. many say that or if you can elsewhere in the world you may face serious crisis financial crisis for instance x. finance minister mentioned this is such

a big crisis that's clearly. changes regimes. in the. government through some very unpopular and painful part of what would you. undertake search for it's actually would be a political suicide in a sense but. first of all the any politician should be really just separate fires he is a political career for the interest of their country it's a serious about it that second. karajan is our legacy is a perfectly normal. two thousand and nine well you would have been right with the situation would have been it's terrible but the government does a very good job but. our country. was able to overcome the crisis very effectively about something floats with minimal losses to a little four percent. in the past not as well the months just recently

which the inflation rate was much higher. with the same finance minister. who are in ten percent of g.d.p. . supports anymore this is a very good situation but it is does it mean of course that we can have a. asian version because the crisis. going on in the us you always want to make that with your projections especially when you're not it will direct you mentioned. i don't think he is a fortune teller he should take your of his current career and. not abolish prediction is capable to stay of this do you really know what macroeconomic tasks you are going to set before you. stay in year.

and we're talking about the rule for us. stabilized it's about forty percent now it's not so bad if we compare a brochure to you that you were so you were but we need actually six or seven like china or india in for. inflation i mentioned. four percent of this is. this is what we need to keep it was three to five more essential your problem of this will resolve many many problems including the one of the because four percent. but he. put it in the interest that this is no longer it was well for eleven percent of with it but it's now seven or eight percent in the mortgage this is a much much better and so we need to do our country preserving the macroeconomic parameters that we currently have improving dam if possible we should work because it's a must do it. ok we have some. of that. because

all those painful reforms pretty there are not actually related to the pension reform the pension reforms and apologise and gentleman. reflection and then you're . of course an option it's not in the area relevant in your case because you are old and young. it has nothing to do with the retirement age when you thought it conducted to mention reform without changing the return and we. mentioned system can be a totally different thing of course we can also discuss the issue of the retirement age but this is not the major issue for me on this we just. need to consider what is our goal bench and system listed do we just use a big government. all the people or are we compensating people for they should their wages that they lose it's

a different model altogether. if it is just the government giving you some money just to get and say thank you at the system a computer by the evil here just compensating people for their wages this is a totally different model both models exist in the world but usually it's a combination of the two some i mean if you like in america for example they had this private system of tension in society and it's good but today they are changing it would use that on to the police and this also helps another country so we have to choose the best possible model for developing our pension system because you put this in you would there will be no shocks. in this matter and i want our viewers to know them i think if you're right it's not hear me we will always have consultations with our people first last president. your presidential term is coming to them and everyone is interested and the duo of you and mr

putin since you are changing places so this duo is that concert factor in the russian politics from now on as well as before us and in your opinion how effective is. this kind of governmental approach. that. all those words that used to irritate me and now i got accustomed to them i like to tell you. we're not just political with we're friends we have twenty years. next i don't think that bed when future of the country and the political process. depend on one person only because he may have some crazy idea in there. but he knew my it's good when the decisions made alex your discussion when there are several people in

a country which they can all contribute to the political process on this i think this is normal this is progress towards democracy when you have to do three five or seven to ten people like that what's the whole i think this makes this is secure and this is not something invented by us constituency yet it's not nor in the mentioned that there are but he pulls that within the constitution that you want to shoot through police each other under certain circumstances the same thing exists in europe and in america people should be political partnership to trust each other so there is nothing about it as for the future we give you some ideas about the future so now everybody should relax this is what we're in for a long run but if you just give up what. can i ask you which is not political at all but it concerns every citizen. in the presidential campaign there were

a statement. you made you got a right to counsel without a change in the times. so that it would not move the clocks forward or backwards twice a year are you ready to reconsider this decision this time before him do you think it is worth it considering your idea to get back to some of. your very question is an illustration of what is more difficult for you when the time is the same around a year or when you have to change your watch every time would. do you think. well i'm not exemplary of the whole country and i'm pretty much. what i was i am more used to the way it was in korea that's why i have it and the watches and devices they change time automatically anyone to set him back in the booth with ya i also use electronic devices and i had to adjust the time but it's not just a matter of gadgets it's

a matter of going to get convenient for people we did this decision not just because this occurred to us we had consultations with scientists with different people to do with different kinds of people different regions and most of them. you know what he supported this decision they said we should not have daylight saving time and this is what many countries do. and some said no we are related to europe and now the people who oppose this decision are those who travel a lot and this is understandable because in the situation where you have. daylight saving time with that that you have to get them spend more time in learning your trips to europe and those people who watch the soccer hootie and the years yes for instance one year i don't. get to work because i don't travel a lot of them because when i belong to the second quarter category because. now

soccer games start late but some people say it's very convenient for them people who live in the country. live in smaller towns they have no problem. it's just a matter of choice in a matter of convenience so if a majority of people the muslims that want to change it back there will be no problem with that i won't be offended because i see all the pros and cons. well we were wondering perhaps shall we have a referendum because we have an hundred friends for a long time on the referendums i agree that we should have referendums from time to time and actually we should introduce new forms of referendums because what we had in the past with all those ballot papers eventually we should replace old it with electronics electronics. on this matter of daylight saving time we can have.

the whole. on the go it should be representative of maybe not everybody but just to get an idea of what people want to see that people want. to return to what we. used to have human rights and we could do that. so people. who are against it will have a change cos they have a. lot of both but it's not just cows there are people who don't like their. actual i talk about this matter with him or buddha and he said but i believe he heard this but it's about fifty fiftieth's. so it's just a matter of choice. speaking of other decisions. our examination has depended very. well i can tell you what my position is the less well this is a matter of who or donation is a good government i mean and a matter of responsibility. as regards driving on jury influence.

but on these points it's not like with the first marriage it's either way on this issue i can tell you clearly that all countries not really yet to allow alcoholic drinks on the list when driving. it that way deal with. modern research. as much as they want but this is a serious matter. in the. situation and that should. i think of them that this is a perfectly justified measure of their pledges and my position on the different issues also of their. we should not legalize arms you know our country americans can say what they want to get you were fired for the right to carry arms we should never have that in russia for a variety of reasons. so these issues will not really get into the referendums and

if we have any represents this is just my personal decision and he's going to do the calculations of the mystic showed up as it's always going to go on the meter at the federal referendum something should be in charge of the regional rep. friend i'm speaking with the regional commission should take care of that we should. people in the electoral commission. but if mr problems usually come up in places where people will not wear the gown. even though there was one person at least three who thought differently he said i don't care. how people know those are all that matters is how you count the votes but this is not our case it's different now. and we seem to be read on your say so. get back to our very first philosophical question what is freedom is it better than on

freedom that's what she says. days ago your speech. or answering the first question larry and i asked if you were talking about the four years you have had i would like to ask you about the future. do you think that the government under your supervision should do to make russia even more free or was that on the short end of the internet well this is what we started with and let's conclude with the same subject i really think that freedom is better than none freedom. and i think you all would agree with. that matter what some people say. that this is just something abstract something credible saw fickle this is really true and you know we are all the custom to living in a free country and. sometimes we don't realize that or we're not happy with what is happening. and you're a happy person if you're living in

a free country say this responsibly is a person who lived in a very different situation for twenty years next movement what should we do in the future we need to fulfill the promise at least we should best of fulfill them must be at least. social. we have a lot of people living below the poverty line yes income screw the who are in many categories but. poverty levels are still. we should reduce them as much as we can it's this is a very important last task but in the same live studio unemployment rate in the unemployment rate is quite low compared to other european countries but we can bring it. to five percent. and this will affect a large number of people in the economy we need to the counseling fulfill what we

have promised and have been unable to implement with the least we need to improve the investment climate and russians significantly and we need to. property rights and then we're making progress i don't like in the critical assessments of the situation where it's really proved you know they didn't i know about this illness we should not. think of them very well of the ninety's the situation was very bad or that and the situation has definitely improved. in politics it is serving you we just need to carry out a political reform that is already underway if we implement this reform but it will have a big. political development and i think this will be if i fundamentally new call to the russian democracy and finally. i am ready to do this and i will work and work for my sober if this works out but i cannot do anything alone since

we all should work on the current country then we will be successful because of this new campus rank is very much mr president thank you for this interview i think we are all happy. to come to. so pleased. with them so yes thank you and actually i think we all should then yeah change our behavior model a little bit of course. bigg boss is an artist but still here in the bunch of on live shows on big channel small channels. this will refresh the situation someone will be able to see life that we. would like to thank you very much and good luck thanks well that there we have it the final interview with outgoing russian president dmitry medvedev live here on r.t.

was a special session with a journalistic you in a session he prepares to hand over the reins to that email putin just to recap a little bit what he said in quite a wide ranging discussion that he said that corruption in society must be removed over time and that the people can really contribute to that and help the government with that on the subject of the protests against the results of the presidential election he said there was no serious electoral fraud but he respected peoples of the right to protest and he also said that to describe. repricing his role as president as a reshuffle was incorrect it was instead the will of the people in the united russia party remained popular and very brief on the coming us elections he said i hope a certain candidate can continue his work in washington of course we'll have more on this throughout the day here in r.t. stay with us.
