MOSCOW (AP) — Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was greeted by catcalls when he stepped into the ring after a mixed martial arts fight at a Moscow arena on Sunday night.The upcoming presidential election in Russia is even more of a sham than the `04 presidential election was here (or any number of elections in Chicago). Russians seemed to be resigned to that, but that doesn't mean that they have to like it.
The whistles and shouts, heard clearly on the live television broadcast, were an unprecedented rebuke as Putin prepares to return to the presidency next year.

Putin used to be in the KGB here in Dresden. I'd be scared of booing him, lest the crowds are videoed :-(
ReplyDeleteAfter my last visit to St. Petersburg/Leningrad/Putingrad I can inform you that the FSB is alive a well and practicing their trade and craft.
ReplyDeleteSomething never change, they are just as heavy handed as their predecessor.
I am sure that Vladimir, is sitting back smiling at the thought of the Skull Fucking that he the richest man in Europe (40 Billion Euro) is going to have delivered to those who have just disrespected him.
