DEEP PURPLE Rocks Russian Politician; Photo Available

February 12, 2008

According to The Press Association, the man expected to become Russia's next president smiled happily as he posed for a picture with DEEP PURPLE in the Kremlin.

Dmitry Medvedev, a first deputy prime minister who seems certain to win the March 2 presidential election, recalled the times when he first listened to the rock band.

DEEP PURPLE performed at a concert in the Kremlin marking the 15th anniversary of the Gazprom state natural gas monopoly.

Mr. Medvedev also serves as Gazprom chairman.

"I couldn't imagine that," Mr. Medvedev said.

"I was 13 or 14 when I first listened to DEEP PURPLE, and such music was forbidden then."
