Russia's new President Dmitry Medvedev was sworn in at the Kremlin on Wednesday.
The following is the oath of Medvedev at the inauguration ceremony:
"In performing my duties as the President of the Russian Federation, I pledge to respect and protect the rights and liberties of every citizen; to observe and protect the Constitution of the Russian Federation; to protect the sovereignty and independence, security and integrity of the state and to serve the people faithfully."
Medvedev, the third and youngest Russian head of state since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, won by landslide in the March 2 election thanks to Putin's endorsement.
