A video showing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, known for his love of classic hard rock, dancing to the song American Boy by the Russian pop group Kombinatsia is going viral on the Russian internet.
The video was added on Youtube on April 19.
"We are rocking at a student university reunion. The dances\the music - they fit in with the past," the president said on his Twitter microblog on Wednesday when one of his followers wrote that the video had lifted her spirits.
Over 6,400 people have seen the video so far and more than 300 have commented on it. The majority of comments are positive; however, some have called the video "stupid."
Some critics have compared Medvedev's dancing abilities to the notorious 1990s clips in which then-President Boris Yeltsin was dancing drunk on stage with second-rate singers and directing an orchestra.
