One is talking about the political freedom here

I see. So in Russia you cannot organize a political party? Or you are not free to voice your views? Or not free to travel? Or run for the office? What political freedoms Russians are lacking? Curious minds want to know.

Gerhard Shroeder is paid for being Putin's bitch. Are you?

Try to voice above the threshold of becoming meaningful - and see what happens to you. Recent NGO story is a good example. Freedom of bowel movement is not a political freedom.

Russians can do all those things...probably more easily than in some of the traditional western nations.

It is amazing to see the social and economic progress made in Russia in such a short time (I was there the first time in 1992 and the last time in 2003 ---WOW!). In many ways economic freedom is more visible and real than in countries like France and Canada...and yes even in the US depending on the state...NY and states like it have essentially told private business to take a hike.
