1. Politkovskaya.
Most unlikely she was assassinated by an order of someone in FSB. They are not SO stupid.Most wise conduct towrds her was to let her live and write any crap she wanted. As I've said no one here cared for her at all (except Garry Casparov maybe...). And it was a conduct of authorities untill her death... Putin once said that this murder is a crime towards State and I agree with him on this case.
2. Litvinenko

So you mean it was a necessary secret service operation? Then I must say it was very badly executed.

That was my point. If only it realy was an intelligence operation. There are a lot of other versions and I would not take Scotland-Yard's one as the only true. Anyway again it would be much better to bring this man home to face a trial.
3. Casparov
Garry Kimovich better stayed a champion chess player. He is inept as politician. I West wants to improve itself in eyes of Russian people it'd better chose another figure. Everything he says and does is a complete farce. In couple with the fact that he is being Western-payed all of this won't make him dominant influence.
Again all he does is that he says "Putin is bad". But who is good? Okay we'll throw away Putin but what's next? What is the program that would make our life better? Garry Kimovich never says. He doesn't have any program. Than what's all his hysteria is for?
Have you ever heard Bobby Fisher? They are both of the same field - chess players
4. Maybe you didn't understand what my point on marches is - I tried to say that both sides do wrong. Casparov's guys do everything to begin struggle, officials are inept in avoiding it.
Again - have you saw any such march with your own eyes? I happened to see one in Moscow.
There were Casparov's guys along with "Nazional-Bolsheviks" of Limonov (never heard of him?) - about 500 total (population of Moscow is 10 500 000 officialy so you see how "strong" their movement is). There were about 1500 Policemen (OMON mostly). And even more photographers.
Well, those "march" guys were crying something for some time, then they tried to break through the Police lines. Police worked fast and effective (not like in Petersburg) and very soon it was over. Remembering '93 Police worked very gentle but that didn't prevent Casparov from crying about "Police used dogs who teared innocent unarmed people..." actually I didn't see any dog...
As for making elections a farce... Well it really was a farce but not because Putin has suppressed the opposition. The fact is there is no opposition in Russia that has a platform and which is capable of getting support from the people. There is no one to believe among the opposition. Nobody has proven himself worthy of people's trust. Nobody offers an alternative. And unfortunately it is one of the weak point of our State today as the opponents can proclaim "end of democracy" and other slogans which are easy to form public oppinion. I understand that it is abnormal situation but it's us - we are all abnormal here
