First Russian President Dimitri Medvedev joined Twitter. Next he visited Twitter and Apple HQs. Now heâs suggesting that someone make a World of Warcraft knock-off to teach about his countryâs history.
Iâm starting to like this guy.
âIâve checked whatâs our youth are playing with, and most games are pseudo-historical and fantasy-based,â The Moscow Times reports that Medvedev told a gathering of his culture and science councils at a joint session Friday.
âTake âWorld of Warcraft.â ⌠Itâs not all about destruction. It has a subtext about developing human civilization,â Medvedev said. âWe could try to make something similar if itâs so popular â not globally, perhaps, but at the domestic level.â
Next year is the 1,150th anniversary of Russiaâs statehood.
