President Medvedev photographed with soldiers at the Russian military base in Gudauta, Abkhazia (8 August 2010)
Dmitry Medvedev, in a white shirt and dark tie with no jacket, stands among about twenty young soldiers in camouflage and caps, who crowd and kneel around him in front of a canteen with red notice boards. The tell is the head of state posed at the centre of a group of conscripts at a base in the territory Russia had recognised two years earlier, which attaches the troops' standing to the president's visit.
