On Monday, Facebook co-founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, met with Russia's Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Zuckerberg traveled the distance in order to discuss both of their futures in technology and get a good understanding of social networking's presence in the International world. 

Medvedev is hoping to create the equivalent of Silicon Valley in his country, whereas Zuckerberg would like to see Facebook match up to Russia’s own social network, VKontakte.
