The son of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev intends to follow in his father's footsteps and study law.
Ilya Medvedev, who will turn 17 on Friday, has been accepted to the law department at Moscow State University, according to a list of students published on the university's website Monday.
As a winner of an Olympiad, a school academic competition, he will study for free.
Dmitry Medvedev, a lawyer by training, graduated from Leningrad State University in 1987 and later earned a master's degree from the same university.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
