Hours after contacting the president through his website, government officials swooped on animal lover Nastya Ivliyeva's remote village school in Kalitvensky, southern Russia, to quiz her.
Animal-mad Nastya had asked Medvedev for a guinea pig to keep the one her parents had bought her company. But after telling the tearful teenager never to contact the president again, the officials ordered her parents to force Nastya to write a second email to the president withdrawing her request.

Instead her furious mum emailed Medvedev complaining about the bullying by his government heavies.
Within hours shamefaced officials arrived at the family's front door with an apology and two guinea pigs for delighted Nastya.
Local youth committee chairman Sergei Chyuev said: "This shows a complete failure by the authorities to understand real people and their problems."
