Vote for me or face 'humiliation': Putin
-
Anyone who goes too far against Putin gets slapped down. He could receive visits from the tax police or, if he got too powerful, he could be arrested by the tax police, as was the case of Khodorkovsky.
Khodorkovsky is for reform and democracy. Putin is not. ItÂ’s also possible that he laundered money to avoid taxes but his arrest and subsequent sentence is also politically motivated.
He is openly critical of what he refers to as 'managed democracy' within Russia. Careful normally not to criticise the elected leadership, he says the military and security services exercise too much authority. He told The Times:
"It is the Singapore model, it is a term that people understand in Russia these days. It means that theoretically you have a free press, but in practice there is self-censorship. Theoretically you have courts; in practice the courts adopt decisions dictated from above. Theoretically there are civil rights enshrined in the constitution; in practice you are not able to exercise some of these rights." -
Let's see what sort of spin Poh is going to put on the events in Tallinn.

DESPOTS are worst of the worst of forms of animals.
Not even human.
I support any ideas to get rid of DESPOTs.
DESPOTS must be eradicated and made to have no offsprings.
DESPOTS are welcome to go extinct.
DESPOTS when they are dead , people will urinate on their tombs for centuries to come. Sure, their name will be remembered for long. But in an unpopular kind of way.
DESPOTS ill gotten wealth cannot go with them to their tombs.
DESPOTS children must also be asked to return all ill gotten wealth back to the people and be exiled from the country forever.
*above said of course excludes sg for very obvious reasons. u no believe the me meh?
