Medvedev's Spokesperson: "He Is Not Dimon for You!"

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's press secretary Natalia Timakova said in an interview that Medvedev gets "distressed" by rudeness of some web users, such as those who call him by a diminutive version of his name. "I don't understand the people who write, e.g. on Facebook, 'Wow Dimon you are cool!'" Timakova stated. "He is not Dimon for you! He is the head of the government! Not necessarily Dmitry Anatolyevich, but would you please call him Dmitry at least...? This is just a matter of good manners," Medvedev's press secretary complained. An hour after a transcript of her interview was published on Thursday, #Dimon and #Don’tCryDimon began trending on Russian Twitter.
