Russian female punk rock band found guilty, await sentence

24. Yes, if Russia was ever any different under communism, and I have serious doubts about that,

Russia is behaving very much like it did under the Tsars, and not as it did with the better of them.

I see no hope for Russia changing until Putin is dead and buried.

I thought that Med. wanted to be more modern than his benefactor and that there was some tension between them.

Nonetheless, Putin will continue until death to have substantial influence.

I would add that those unhappy with the Assange situation might be a tad more upset about the Russian situation.

Putin's support of Assange should not shield him from substantial cricitism over the girl band whose name I would rather not type.

(Too many years in Methodist Sunday School warped my brain for what I can see is the rest of my life.)
