Just started to get interested in the Russia situation.
Trying to find out if Aleksei Navalny is closer to Tea Party or to Occupy material. Perhaps they’re finding their way to one or the other side: big government or limited government and free enterprise.
For sure they are challenging the status quo in Russia and putins/party/kremlin domination and corruption which is a clever and coniving foe similar to the situation in the blue states, such as my own in California.
Also worth noting is this article over at gulagbound.

“The Russia Today (RT) Moscow-funded propaganda channel, which is backing the murderous regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, aired a special program on Tuesday night on how progressives in the U.S. can “Take Back the American Dream” by defeating Republicans. The propaganda effort was broadcast throughout the United States and produced in collaboration with major liberal groups such as the Campaign for America’s Future, MoveOn.org and Demos, all of them Soros-funded.”
The rest of the article is a must see. Anyway, Hillary Clinton’s remarks seemed more sympathetic to protestors rather than to the Putin regime. But of course sympathetic Democratic statements about people usually tend to misdirect their audience about what is going on behind the scenes and the role they play in them.
