President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev gives a private address to a roundtable of 80 CEOs of member companies of the World Economic Forum. This is the speech in which Medvedev blames the United States for the global economic slowdown. No big surprises nor tough questions here, but still very interesting. There’s an excellent IHT article covering the weekend’s events, which quotes Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson as saying that Russia “must improve the functioning of its judicial system, and its judiciary. There is no respect for the rule of law in Russia today.”
