Kremlin Rules
Putin’s Iron Grip on Russia Suffocates Opponents James Hill for The New York Times PUTIN’S REACH In the Nizhny Novgorod region, by the Volga River, supporters of President Vladimir V. Putin control nearly all of the political offices. By CLIFFORD J. LEVY Published: February 24, 2008 NIZHNY NOVGOROD, Russia — Shortly before parliamentary elections in December, foremen fanned out across the sprawling GAZ vehicle factory here, pulling aside assembly-line workers and giving them an order: vote for President Vladimir V. Putin’s party or else. They were instructed to phone in after they left their polling places. Names would be tallied, defiance punished.\ more after the jump. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/24/wo...q=putin&st=nyt

puta? puta madre!
i have to say though that for all of putin's totalitarian crapola, russia is at least in better shape than in the 90s when crazy capitalism without a judicial framework put her in the hands of oligarchs and the mafia. it was a joke of a country and they couldn't even pay the people who guarded the nuclear silos. yes a lot of their new found fortune has to do with the price of oil, but i think also with the restoration of social order. and while i do not endorse their horribly authoritarian social order, i think in some way it's better than a society where organized crime trumps the govenment. hopefully they can liberalize their society in a gradual and more rational manner in years to come. |

I hate this Putin fuck. ex-hea dof KGB, he started by consolidating the entire energy resources of russia again under the control of the government, then he started coercing journalists and shutting down independent newspapers and radio stations, and now he has handed power to some fucking lackey and chosen to create a new position that essentially makes him eperor of russia. fucking shit. we do NOTHING
Instead, while Russia develops a massive weapons agneda once again, and putin does what he wants killing dissidents and jailing opposition people, we fight this RED HERRING war in Iraq, so the entire world has to focus upon one middle eastern country instead of seeing how dangerous and completely terrible the Russia situation is right now. and FUCK CHINA TOO goddamn communist fucks. I cannot believe they are our best buddies aour best pals and that shit, and we still deny the country of CUBA basic medical/food/clothing trade and exports. fuck this bullshit. I ahte it ask Obama and Hillary and McCain about this cocksuck. see what their plan is.
