Medvedev attacks Putin officials over crisis

Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, accused Vladimir Putin’s government on Friday of failing to act quickly to combat the economic crisis.

It was a further sign of growing friction between Russia’s two power centres.

Without naming the prime minister, Mr Medvedev said the government had spent too long enacting plans for state guarantees to back loans to strategic companies in order to ease a dearth of credit that is exacerbating steep falls in output.
