The businessman has incredible power but Putin has absolute power: What has happened there is apparent; Putin fears real reforms, as do all dictators, and the businessman[s power and influence began to cross the Russian dictator. the business,man is on the wrong side of history, unless he thinks he is the one to bring capitalism to the Soviets

What's going in Russia does not seem to have clear answers. It seems that both Putin's crowd and the guy who was arrested's group took advantage of the power and economic vacuum during the fall of the USSR to get very wealthy and powerful. This may just be political or it may be criminal. I'd like to see more information and see it play out so that Russia truly becomes a democratic capitalist nation. You, however, make this into a religious conspiracy and fall into the worst type of bigoted argument. You share common posts, where you brown nose each other's bigotry, with someone who advocates a holocaust, another who once said "there were too many blacks in city hall" and worked with the KKK and yet get upset when someone points out comically that Asians should be banned because they brought SARS into the US. You must be an admirer of Hitler and seem to be proud of that. Perhaps you have too much MSG in your won tons.
