What autonomy does any Russian state have - they cant even elect governors anymore. ==
The "autonomy" from what?
Ukraine - an independent country- was BARELY able to escape the clutches of the Kremlin. ==
Yeah the "free" country which make living by stealing russian gas from pipe.
In Russia they began to tell that russian gas got "ukrained". New sense of word created: to "ukraine" gas equals to pilfer gas.
So the "freedom" of Ukraine is freedom for scum.
"Yeah the "free" country which make living by stealing russian gas from pipe. "
You Russophiles continue to claim this as fact but there is never any substantiation. When Putie kicked Europe in the nuts on Jan 1 to show off how "powerful" Russia is, there was a great outcry so then he started crying that he didn't shut off the gas - but that the Ukes stole it. Make up your mind already
