The Kremlin says it does not understand why Russia's state TV has censored a comedy sketch making fun of President Dmitry Medvedev's dance skills, BBC reported.

Medvedev's press secretary says the president has no problem with people impersonating him. The clip re-enacted Medvedev's slightly robotic movements on a dance floor, which were earlier captured on a mobile phone and posted online.

To the strains of pop song American boy, Medvedev boogied in his blue suit and white shirt at a university reunion. The video later became the disco dance sensation of the year.

On the show, which is pre-recorded, one team of comedians re-enacted the famous Medvedev moves -- and won first prize. But when the program was broadcast on Russia's Channel One, their performance had been edited out.

俄总统僵硬舞姿爆红 模仿秀惨遭删剪

       近日，俄罗斯国家电视台将一段调侃总统梅德韦杰夫舞姿的滑稽表演给剪掉了，克里姆林宫方面表示无法理解电视台为什么要这么做。

       据英国广播公司报道，梅德韦杰夫的新闻发言人说，总统根本不介意被人们模仿。据悉，该喜剧片断再现了梅德韦杰夫在一次大学同学聚会上那略显笨拙的舞姿。

       当时，身着蓝西装﹑白衬衫的梅德韦杰夫随着流行乐《美国男孩》扭动身躯。那情景被人用手机拍下来传到了网上，后来成为当年最有影响力的迪斯科舞步。

       而在这段提前录好的模仿秀中，一群喜剧演员重新演绎了那人尽皆知的梅德韦杰夫舞姿，还得了第一名。可是节目在俄罗斯第一频道播出时，那段表演已经被删剪了。
