The Russian President talks of hard times ahead but praises the country's people for handling economic hardships of 2008. President Dmitry Medvedev continued that hard times were far from over.
"This year our country went through dramatic trials, but overcame them with confidence and dignity thanks to you, its people. I am convinced that whatever hardships lie ahead, we will be able to weather them," Medvedev said, as AFP reported.
"Numbers on the calendar may change, but love, friendship, loyalty, compassion and mercy remain our support for all time, and give us strength not only to overcome difficulties, but to rise to new heights," Medvedev added.
Russia's newly-found prosperity was threatened by the global economic crisis plunging the ruble to a three year low against the dollar.
