Putin?s Gulag Stability
2008-05-19 14:46:00
Vladimir Putin hails stability among his greatest achievements as president of Russia.

Acum cateva zile toata lumea iubitoare de mondenitati se isteriza la auzul vestii cum ca Vladimir Putin va divorta de sotia sa Ludmila datorita relatiei cu o tanara gimnasta. Presa a inceput imediat sa faca analogia cu cazul Sarkozy si a inceput sa insiruie toate esecurile conjugale din viata marilor politicieni. Era evident ca un astfel de subiect le poate umple paginile pentru mult timp.In timpul unei vizite in Italia, liderul de la Kremlin a infirmat zvonurile si a atacat dur publicatia rusa care a publicat stirea, catalogand articolul drept o mizerie.La scurt timpu dupa declaratia lui Putin ziarul a fost suspendat pe motiv ca se doreste crearea unui nou concept si constructia unui nou plan de afaceri. Imediat dupa suspendarea ziarului si site-ul publicatiei moscor.ru a fost inchis. Patronul a tinut sa precizeze ca niciun motiv politic nu s-a aflat la baza acestor decizii. Bineinteles ca nimeni nu cred ce spune patronul rus, intr-o tara unde se incalca foarte des drepturile democ...

Russia agreed yesterday (Thursday) to write off $4.5 billion in Libyan Cold War-era debt in exchange for military and civilian contracts for Russian companies, Reuters reported.

Good afternoon. Dear ladies and gentlemen, first and foremost I would like to thank the President of the United States, Mr. Bush, for accepting the invitation to meet here in Sochi, in order to sort of draw the bottom line of the eight years of our parallel terms in office. And he will probably agree with me, the result has been positive on the whole.Since our first meeting in Ljubljana back in 2001, we have had an open and sincere relationship, and this has allowed us, without any circumventions or conventions, to start discussion the most pressing issues on the international and bilateral agenda.

Vladimir Putin tells summit he wants security and friendship
2008-04-05 18:30:00
President Putin, in a bravura performance before the world’s media at the end of the Nato summit, warned President Bush and other alliance leaders that their plan to expand eastwards to Ukraine and Georgia “didn’t contribute to trust and predictability in our relationsâ€. The Russian President, who hands over to Dmitri Medvedev on May 7, said that the world’s problems could not be solved without Russia and he appealed for the West to give due consideration to his country’s security concerns. “So let’s be friends, guys, let’s be frank and open,†he said through an interpreter. Expansion of the alliance to Russia’s borders “would be taken in Russia as a direct threat to the security of our countryâ€. Nato statements that this was not directed against Russia were not enough, he said. Mr Putin, who strode into the huge press conference centre inside Ceausescu’s palace in Bucharest to a round of applause from many of the waiting journalists, declared that his c...
George Bush and Vladimir Putin unveil final double act
2008-04-05 18:26:00
Tomorrow's seaside summit of the presidents of Russia and the United States will bring down the curtain on a double act that has lasted for 28 performances and seven years. George Bush will join Vladimir Putin at his summer residence in the Black Sea resort of Sochi for their last meeting before the Russian leader stands down in favour of Dmitri Medvedev next month. Mr Bush is the man who famously claimed to have looked his counterpart in the eye and got “a sense of his soul†at their first meeting in June 2001. The judgment of history awaits both men. In 2000 Mr Bush was in charge of a confident international colossus, ready to flex its economic and military muscles to make its vision of the world come true; Russia was still a humbled former superpower struggling to get to grips with post-Soviet reality and fighting - and apparently losing - a war with separatists in Chechnya. What a difference eight years makes. After 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq, Mr Bush is regarded at home as...

Putin On The Hitz
2008-02-15 22:48:00
I love Pravda. The Russian rag's headline: "Western Journalists Love Putin's Wittiness." Vlad the Impaler skewered Hillary with this: When Putin was asked to comment Hillary Clinton?s statement who said that a former KGB officer could not have a soul, Putin replied: ?A state official should at least have brains.? PravdaA discreet Pravda under threat of exile left out the name the "former KGB officer" Hillary slammed. Yeah, it was Putin. Obama doesn't get off, either. "Obama bribes voters offering 210 billion stimulus plan." Then there's this accompanied by the Obama swimsuit shot: "Barack Obama: Five Facts You Never Knew About Him." Don't get me started on my grad school Russian history background... Pravda is "truth" in Russian.

Another Clinton Mistake - Calls Russian President Putin "Souless" ; He's Ti

If Putin heard this comment, I'm sure that's his expression. Of all of the really, really terrible -- ok, just plain dumb -- mistakes to make, Senator Hillary Clinton reffered to Russian President Vladomir Putin -- Time Magazine's "Person of The Year" as "Souless" according to Ben Smith in the Politico.com website magazine. That's not smart and that comment, coupled with her combative performance and false mailers are painting her as a really, well, ah, "souless" Presidential candidate. I can't wait to hear Putin's response. What's wrong with her? Yikes!

Vladimir Putin: A New World Celebrity?
2007-12-20 00:00:00
The naming of Vladimir Putin as the Man or Person of the Year by Time magazine, made me think about the way he's built his image over the last several years. That isn't easy when you consider he's not the small talk type of guy, and he takes life pretty seriously.Still, because he thinks of himself as an "embodiment" of Russia, what he portrays of himself outwardly, to him, is in direct correlation to what he thinks of Russia inwardly. So to that effect, he's attempted to market Russia as a robust, emerging nation, rising from the dead. So far it has worked good for him, and the general Russian population likes him.His challenge is whether the prices of commodities like oil and timber can remain high enough while he encourages the building of an entrepreneurial infrastructure for the nation, which isn't so dependent on a few natural resources.It is interesting to see someone from that part of the world work with a scheme in mind to project the spirit of t...
