Dude, you are not talking about the 'i made my billions on privatization, hihi" Hodarkowsky? I feel sorry for people holding this naive point of view, those so easily brainwashed by the 'free' western media. You guys should wise up about the economy in US and Europe, and about the deep sh*t it can end up in in 10 years time, and worry about that instead of 'geopolitical situation and freedom of press and democracy' in Russia.
Do you have anyone living in Moscow for example whom you can ask about these horrors? I have, and they laughed their arse off about the 'freedom of press', 'nationalism' and all that. Putin has done one thing for Russia than not many have - he gave it stability, which is quite a lot in post Yeltsin era where everything was robbed and stolen. But hey, it was democracy, and it was all free for all. Product - Hodarkovsky and Abramovich. Now in their direction, a lot would just spit.
Americans loved Yeltsin. He was easy to manipulate, gave off all little wealth russia had, did everything friend Bill told him to do, and was a cookoo. With Putin it's much harder, since most who spoken to him can't really say he's an idiot, a dicator, or anything. In fact, from american's themselves, when asked about Putin, all said they were quite impressed by him.
