Mike Sylwester,
I’m still waiting clarification of your argument that Volodya Putin is a great leader of Russia.
Can you explain the benefits to the Russian people, institutions and political processes when Putin decreed that provincial governors would be appointed by the kremlin rather than elected by the people?
Can you even explain the kremlin’s “national security” explanation for that extraordinary power grab?
