I hope we can agree that many people who were members of the communist party weren't actually communists (just trying to get ahead via political affiliation) and many of those who weren't in the party were none the less communists in their beliefs. If you don't think this was the case, let me assure you that it was.

I respect the man, Not many Presidents can claim of what he has achieved. You are being unfair in not giving him credit over there. I have already agreed to some of your claims on his undemocratic means, I have given you some explanations why he was forced to do that, yet that doesnt make it right. I have already you given you that

You say Brezhnev was a communist As if Putin is not? so what is/was he if not a communist? how could he have reached the rank of half Colonel in the KGB without being a party member? as I said in my first post, a leopard does not change his spots and I stand by that particularly in regards to Putin.

Sir,

1990's have shown the Russians, that the Commie ideology is better fit to be flushed down the toilet. Nothing that suggest he will go back to Commie Political system or Economic system. Gazprom nationalisation has got more to do with Oligarchs and money needed for the Russian establishment, none of the countries who lecture Russia has not gone through what it went through in the 1990's.

There was a time when the International media started claiming that Putin will not step down, that hasnt happened. I take a 5 sack full of salts whenever I hear western media speak about Putin.

I can see that you are a Brit, I am sure you trust the BBC, watch "The Russian Godfathers". Its anti-Putin, but you will get the picture, since you are aware of Russian Politics, unlike a normal viewer.

I could agree with that.

Wow... massive unemployment? Lack of law and order? What nations are you talking about?

Semantics to suit a debate, I feel.

Believe it or not I was a supporter of Putin, until about 18 months ago and I decided to start reading both sides, and also listening to other peoples opinion, you agree on the main facts that he was undemocratic to achieve his ends, yet believe this will change now he has the power. I find this a difficult point to debate with you as you seem blind to the real mans faults.

So you sanction, old and tried (Russian) methods used by Putin to gain his political ends ?

There was a time when the International media started claiming that Putin will not step down, that hasnt happened. I take a 5 sack full of salts whenever I hear western media speak about Putin.

You need to not only read more but digest it, If you believe Putin is standing down, then I feel sorry for you, he will solidify his power carrying another title.

I can see that you are a Brit, I am sure you trust the BBC, watch "The Russian Godfathers". Its anti-Putin, but you will get the picture, since you are aware of Russian Politics, unlike a normal viewer.

Are you feeling threatened because I am a "Brit"? I suspect I know "what " you are but politness refrains me from saying, I just debate the facts with you.

I have agreed with whatever you have stated, but I see it in a different context. I dont agree with the whole western media representation of Putin. I am sure you are also aware of his other side. Any person who can get his country out of rubbles like he did, will get my respect.

And he was undemocratic to Oligarch stooges, even then I dont agree with some of his tactics. As you said tried and tested Russian way.

Nopes, I dont. I have already agreed with you on that. I believe Litvenko was 'murdered by Putin's men. No different than any Israeli assassination squads.

You need to not only read more but digest it, If you believe Putin is standing down, then I feel sorry for you, he will solidify his power carrying another title.

Earlier it was he will ammend the consitution, now since that is not happening. It is he will be the puppet master.

Are you feeling threatened because I am a "Brit"? I suspect I know "what " you are but politness refrains me from saying, I just debate the facts with you.

Where did you get that from? I have been quite respectful on my debate with you, i dont think i deserve that,even by accident.

I have seen all very biased reporting from western sources. You seem not ready to accept Indian sources. This documentary in BBC is quite good, It was again my suggestion. You can see how Boris Berzvosky works.

At whatever cost huh, as long as you are not there to be effected by it.

The ends justify the means huh?

Always an excuse ready at hand

LOL ok and him being the "puppet master" is good how ?

Read your own comment, sorry if you are sensitive.

Indian newspapers not biased huh?
