Consistency For Me Is Everything.

Our Political Leaders Often Talk About Russia Taking An Independent Path, But They Like To Live Like People In The West.

For 17 Years, Elections In Russia Have Followed The Same Pattern: Nobody Criticizes Putin, Nobody Runs A Real Election Campaign, The Whole Process Takes Place Quietly Over A Period Of Two Months. The Kremlin Blocks Every Alternative To Putin. He Doesn't Want A Candidate Who Will Travel Through The Country And Speak Loudly About Russia's Problems.

In Russia An Authoritarian Leader Is Running The Country. You Can't Fight Putin With Elections Because He Controls Them. That's Why Demonstrations Are The Most Effective Approach. Unfortunately Russia Has Sunk To This Primitive Level.

Anyone Who Commits A Xenophobic Crime Has To Be Brought To Justice.

Putin And His Advisers Don't Understand The Power Of Public Opinion In The West. They Believe In Conspiracy Theories And That Someone Is Orchestrating A Malicious Campaign Against Russia. They Don't Realize That Even Conservative Politicians Have To React When Newspapers And Artists Express Their Concern On Such An Issue.
