Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday gave Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin until the end of the day to decide on his future after he vehemently criticised the Kremlin's economic policies. "If you do not agree with the policy of the president, which is executed by the government, then you have one option -- to resign," Russian news agencies quoted Medvedev as telling Kudrin. "You need to decide quickly what to do and give me an answer today," he added.
