    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The former Russian Prime Minister - widely seen as a stopgap for Vladimir Putin -  repeatedly takes to social media to write provocative and inflammatory statements about the Ukraine war and its Western allies.

    In Tuesday’s tweet, Medvedev warned the “apocalypse” was “drawing nearer”, quoting biblical verse and old Soviet leaders.

    “We are remembered until we stand in the others’ way,” attributed to Vladimir Lenin, who led the Bolshevik Revolution and was the first leader and founder of the Soviet Union.

    Medvedev, Russia’s Deputy Chairman of the Security Council, ended the tweet with a notorious quote from former USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev made to Western ambassadors in 1956, which reads: "Whether you like it, or not, history is on our side.

    Most of Medvedev’s past threats have rung hollow or provoked ridicule online from large numbers of social media users.

    He added Poland was “temporarily occupied”, alluding to NATO presence inside the country, which includes 10,000 American troops, according to AP.
