That is the full version video of Dmitry Medvedev's Inauguration at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia on May 7th, 2008.
I thought that all our readers may be interested in the Presidential Inauguration. Today is unique & historic for Russia it will be for the first time that an incumbent President will hand over the authority to a new national leader while still in office. Boris Yeltsin resigned as President before the end of his term.

Hi, Helena!
Welcome to "Windows to Russia", hope you like our project!
Nice to hear that your russian nephew is a good member of your family! :)))
As for Yeltsin, that was his decision to leave presidential post 6 month before elections. He put Putin as acting president of Russia, who was Prime Minister that time. And new elections was moved on three months earlier then. Why Yeltsin has done it - maybe health reasons, maybe political... maybe both together.
Best wishes and come again,
we post quite often in all our projects.
