Medvedev, dubbed by Western press as a baby-faced man, is a big fan of music. He prefers to listen to hard rock: Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple are his favorite bands. Medvedev likes to play vinyl disks, not CDs.

Dmitry Medvedev tries to keep up his shape: he has a treadmill in his home and he regularly works out. When he has free time, Medvedev likes to play chess. As for television, he is a fan of Discovery channel.

Won't matter anyway. Currently, Russia has a mixed (i.e., presidential and parliamentary) system, and the PM is no more than a figurehead. Putin's party has an overwhelming majority in the parliament, so he will probably just become the PM and have all the power transferred to himself again, making the president a figurehead.
