movie mania.

'You may succeed in silencing one man, but the howl of protest from around the world will reverbrate, Mr. Putin, in your ears for the rest of your life. '

Alexander Litvinenko.

just like a scene from Alias. or from one of those spy movies.ooh. i like.

no.i'm not a sadist. i don't enjoy watching people die. but the story that unfolds is an interesting one.

Anna Politkovskaya found slained. A slow and painful death for the above-mentioned Mr. Alexander, former KGB officer. Former president of Russia, Yegor T. Gaidar falls ill. All harsh critics of the Kremlin.

suspicious ain't it.

Wouldn't have realised the connection if not for Times!

For a former communist country, I always thought Russia was progressing well. Economically that is. But lo and behold, they seem to be falling back to their old ways. With government controlled newspapers ( sounds like some other country i know of. guess who?), imprisonment of social activists.blablabla.inflicting fear into the hearts and minds of Russians.

This is the 21st century if you all haven't noticed.People are learned, educated and we have every right to speak up against such atrocities. If we don't stand up for ourselves, and the defenseless who else is going to do so?

Power to the People!
