Medvedev: U.S. to Blame for Global Financial Crisis
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Russia's president says the United States is to blame for the global financial crisis — and presents his case in an online preview of his state-of-the-nation speech.
The highly anticipated speech Wednesday will be President Dmitry Medvedev's first state-of-the-nation address since taking office in May. A preview of the speech is available in a video posted on the Kremlin Web site.
Medvedev also says he will discuss the international consequences of the war in August that Russia fought with Georgia.
