No. I am also fairly critical; after all, I did emigrate myself because I was pretty critical about what is going on there, and this decision was not easy. However, there is criticism and there is criticism. Look, I bet you have been upset and angry when AI compared Guantanamo to Gulag, haven't you?
I have posted here my opinion what Russian problems really are. Several other FReepers here know the situation and they all have similar views. A friendly knowledgeable criticism is always welcome. Nobody is perfect, and Russia is absolutely not perfect. However, the criticism should be fair. Otherwise, it is just PR scum. Russia was no better a year or two ago. There wasn't so much prejudiced and unfair criticism then.
