A photograph taken by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is sold at a charity auction in St. Petersburg, Russia, Saturday, Jan. 16, 2010. Medvedev's black-and-white photo showing the Tobolsk Kremlin has sold for $1.7 million at a charity auction that exhibits works by well-known Russians. It was snapped up for 51 million rubles by Mikhail Zingarevich, a board member at Ilim Group, the pulp and paper company where Medvedev once worked as a lawyer. In donating his photograph for Saturday night's auction, Medvedev followed the example set last year by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.[Xinhua/AFP] |
