MOSCOW. December 28. KAZINFORM Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said there is a need to change Russia's political system. "The country now is facing, as it has always been, a whole set of new problems, as it is commonly said in the 21st century, new challenges.

"There is a need to considerably change both our economy and the social sphere, and certainly the political system, because nothing is hardened, even the largest successes that we have recently achieved do not mean that it's time for us to relax, exhale and do nothing anymore," he stated; Kazinform cites ITAR-TASS.
