No, I've studied bits and pieces of this truth for years, this just puts the whole thing together. You haven't had time to read it. Your response just told me all I need to know about your Putin-loving Communist ways...
Get in line, dear. :-)
The mistake most freepers are making is seeing centralized power, and forgetting about all the other things involved in communism.
Besides other than being a control freak, Putin is a conservative. Look at his economic programs.
Then read about who is after him bigtime - the liberals. And they support the chechens.
Hard to understand how freepers are missing the boat and siding with the liberals, but I see it all day long.
