Putin welcomes constructive criticism. He calls it his open window policy.

[JonPreston]

No need for him to complain now, this thing is all but wrapped up.

But here’s the funny thing.

He’s not dead like a Ukrainian opposition leader.

The elections haven’t been cancelled like in Ukraine.

The opposition parties haven’t been banned like in Ukraine.

Journalists that report this aren’t being thrown in prison like in Ukraine.

Radio stations that discuss this aren’t being closed like in Ukraine.
