“Still haven’t mastered?” Aside from the constitution-rewriting that made Putin prime minister and then president again, or threatening to nuke Poland and Ukraine, how would one think people like Viktor Yushchenko or Alexander Litvinyenko (if he were still around) view the Kremlin?

How do you know they aren’t paid? Remember, Obama appeals to power and self-interest according to the way he learned from Alinsky. There’s no way a perpetually-going-broke entity like the New York Slimes can keep going if not for some sort of lifeline.

Oh, so the Russians have two major pretend parties that are actually the same party?

Several; everyone in the Duma right now is “United Russia” in all but name. Take a look at what the minor parties stand for: Just Russia is “social-democratic” and the Liberal Democrats are “pan-Slavic” (cf. pan-Germanism and pan-Arabism; they even have a youth organization reminiscent of a certain other regime).

And it ought to speak volumes that the old Communist Party is allowed any representation in the Duma at all, never mind being the second-largest in terms of said representation.
