Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has drawn attention with a photo shared on his social media account. The post featured an image of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow with the English phrase "Don't Play Games with Russia" written on it.
Redaksiya reports that Medvedev also congratulated Orthodox Christians in Russia on their Christmas. This greeting was accompanied by the phrase "Merry Orthodox Christmas, Russian world!" on his social media account.
This incident occurred after the U.S. State Department posted a "don't play games" message related to U.S. President Donald Trump on its Russian-language social media account. Medvedev's move aimed to demonstrate Russia's stance and convey a message at a time of increasing tension between the two countries. Medvedev's post could reflect a certain position or message in Russia's foreign policy.
