Nice to see you blogging again.
&qu...Hi Vilhelm,<br /><br />Nice to see you blogging again. <br /><br />"[...] Obama's meeting with the opposition turned into true comedy. It's great that Nemtsov and Kasparov were invited from our side - but that's also all the good news there were. Further on the list were Mitrokhin, Gozman and Zyuganov. The State Department stands with one foot in the past. :) But seriously, a meeting with such a gathering is a flat puncture for those on the American side who prepared the visit. In such meetings, the real opposition must take part and not hopeless figures from the past. [...]"<br /><br />This kind of outlook better than anything illustrates the reason popular Russian attitudes towards "liberals" are at best indifferent. Just who anointed Kasparov and Nemtsov as THE opposition? At least Zyuganov reliably gets 15-20% of the popular vote, unlike those fools who can't hope for more than 2% maximum.akarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322298490656235467noreply@blogger.com
