This might be in retaliation for Ukraine ejecting two Russian journalists covering far right demonstrations in Kiev. Like in the old days when we would eject Russian diplomat/spies from their embassy in the US, and Russia would eject American diplomat/spies? from our embassy in Moscow.

Talking about separatism and self determination of nations inside Russia carries a prison sentence there.

http://themoscownews.com/politics/20131230/192136238/Putin-signs-law-criminalizing-calls-to-separatism.html

“Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law that would make spreading separatist views a criminal offense punishable by up to five years in jail.”

Don't you know that “federalisation” is the only way to go and If you are against it, you must be pro-big government/socialist/Obamamist/Soros Nazi Jew and so on. That's in case of Ukraine. In case of the largest country in the world run by the most Christian (dear) leader ever, any sort of autonomy would be totally evil... Isn't it all obvious !???

Too late for that...Zakharchenko is going to teach the Kiev junta how to live in peace.

Check this out, I can't stop chuckling about it. I know Russia spans, what, 12 time zones . . . but according to our resident FRussian, expelling two journalists in February 2015 is a cause for detaining a Russian journalist in 2014.

By the way, comrade, I've noticed that posts from rt.com have dried up . . . your friends must be disappointed to see this message when they try to post:

rt.com should be posted to bloggers forum/Russian propaganda topic (if at all).

Tell you what...I’ll donate a dollar to Free Republic for every post you’ve made criticizing Obama in the past year.

Typical liberal...expecting other people to do your work.

I’ll pay $5.00 for each of your post criticizing Obama over the past year.
