G8 – Putin thanks the (free) press of Russia
At Russlandonline.ru, a website covering Russian domestic and foreign policy, I found a message saying that Putin thanked the Russian News Agency Novosti for preparing (not only attending) the G8 summit in June. I tried to locate the news also on the site of the G8 and on the site of the Russian president, but was unable to locate the article. Apparently he was quite happy with his public image – wonderful free press.
