Vlad probably had the fight fixed. Who would say anything?

The timing of Col Putin at ring side is incredible, while his loyal goons beat the hell out of anyone who dares questioning the absolute totalitarian authority of the Boss.

So true. For the majority of the world Putin's media machine were able to retain his mask of deception. These most recent photos hopefully has removed the mask.

What “mask”?? Everybody [including his devoted arselickers] already knows what kind of mafioso kgb sh*t he is, with perfect clarity. One merely needs to distinguish the internal knowledge from the external party line ejaculations.

I understand, but why is it Washington’s elected and appointed top officials in general remain mute to what is so blatantly and alarming obvious? Shades of 1938.

Because both elected and appointed officials have quite a dose of their own mafiosity in their make-ups. And whenever somebody radically different [like RWR} comes along, such a person is usually hobbled by both the elected and appointed officials [aka ‘establishment’] and by one’s own limited understanding of what one’s dealing with. For example, in Reagan’s absolutely correct “evil empire” formula - what was evil in that empire? Evil landscape- evil hills, plains and rivers? Evil flora and fauna? Or evil people living, generating, and reproducing their [adequate to them] evil way of life? If the latter, then he far from won the Cold War.

I bet Kasparov didn’t anticipate that move...

In reality, (that is, off the chessboard) constraining the motions of the enemy King leads not to Stalemate, but to Checkmate.

Putin, whose second and last term ends in 2008, has created an obedient parliament and his government has reasserted control over major television networks, giving little air time to critics.

I guess CAIR will not be opening an office there...

didn’t Bush look into Putin’s eyes and see a good soul?
That should do it shouldn’t it?

Riot police beat and detained protesters as thousands defied an official ban and attempted to stage a rally Saturday ==

“in thousands”?:)) Total number of detainees was about 250. So much lies which easy to repel.

The Russkis do a pretty good imitation of the Nazi goose-step, no?==

Accually the “goose-step” in army theremonnials was introduced by czar Pual 1st in befginning of 18 century. It was copied from german.

Mikhail Kasyanov, Putin’s first prime minister but now a leading opponent, denounced the arrests and beatings in a speech at Turgenev Square.

“Everyone should ask the question: What is happening with our authorities — are they still sane, or have they gone mad?” he said, as the crowd chanted “Shame on the government.” ==

Funny:))) “Misha 2%” tells something about same:).

Putins fascism is more and more on display these days.

Sad.

Russia had such promise.

It's a real pity it's run by thugs, goons, and kleptocrats instead of honest people.

Perhaps in another hundred years Russia will be ready to join the civilized nations of the world.

Kasparov and his supporters simply provoked police. He did that intentionally to create the public disconcert.
