The American ambassador to this country, Michael McFaul, has repeatedly sparred with this country's government, which has assigned journalists to tail him, moving him to denounce it as a "wild country." In February 2012, one politician in this country evocatively declared "The victory shall be ours!" at a rally on Defender of the Fatherland Day. This country was rocked in December 2011 by the For Fair Elections protests, and the Yabloko Party was not allowed to field a candidate in elections also contested by a gold magnate who owns the (*) Brooklyn Nets. That election in this country replaced a former chairman of Gazprom with the prime minister, himself a former president. For 10 points, name this country where Dmitri Medvedev has been replaced by Vladimir Putin.
