A storm has erupted on the Runet after LifeNews published this video of Vladimir Putin allegedly berating Medvedev's cabinet ministers. He talks about last year's May directives, letting his audience know in no uncertain terms that he is unhappy with their work and he threatens to fire them. While LifeNews maintain that Putin was talking to ministers, the Kremlin press secretary Peskov has claimed that the threats were aimed at regional governors rather than the higher echelons of Russia's political system.
