In advance of the Sunday election, Putin invited six newspaper editors from Group of Eight countries to dine with, and interview, him. This is the Canadian newspaper editor's resulting extensive article.
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/worl......2357527/ Interesting reading ... If any one can find similar articles from the other five editors, please post a link.

Balducci - glad you got home safely - I can only find this online but the article I read in the weekend print version of the Australian was much longer: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/wor......87713441
This may also interest you - http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/2012/......y-russia - I hadn't read anything about Khodorkovsky for a couple of years and this popped up on Vanity Fair on the weekend - they have some good articles once you dig past all the celeb BS. |

Looks like Alexei Navalny was arrested again today:

Destiny ... Thanks for the VF link. Sadly, the Australian story seems to be for subscribers only.
P.s. Saw a great show at the Opera House ... La Soiree featuring members of La Clique, including the 'drag queen' Le Gateau Chocolat. I really liked the acrobats and the rubberman. The freddie mercury tribute singer / juggler was also pretty darned good. Never would have imagined the Opera House offered such fare.

From what I heard on NPR this afternoon, Putin is a cryaby, and if I ever met him I'd tell him so.
(Note to self: avoid meeting Putin at all cost.) |

If he eats too much borscht, is Vladimir 'Putin'? (I know--bad--don't pretend to laugh.)

In August 1998 the Russian government defaulted on its debt obligations, sending the country into financial free fall. Khodorkovsky’s bank died in the crash. Yukos was also in trouble: the price of oil on the world markets was $8 a barrel, but Yukos, with its outmoded equipment, was spending $12 to produce a barrel." So the VF article says. $8? Was it really? I guess it more or less was, but that seems hard to believe, today.

It sounds like a case of 'No news is good news." Unless Putin was the Conservative in the bunch.

I'd guess the most logical theory I've read, and the most probable reason would be.....Plastic Surgery.
I'd rather it be a coup, tho. We can hope.

Speaking of cooing, Vladimir Putin once remarked that Negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon knocks over all the pieces, ****s on the board and then struts around like it won the game.

I was reading today that even the opposition in Russia is hoping that Putin is okay, because the opposition would never have a chance to take his place. In Putin's absence, the people who would likely take control are said to be worse than Putin ever was.

What makes them think in Putin's absence we are going to take over?

He's back in the land of the living, and I read somewhere today that a lady he had enjoyed a romantic liaison with, gave birth to a child in the last week.
