The Litvinenko murder is being used by neocons in their campaign against Putin's national revival/.../There are certainly grounds for criticising the Russian government from a progressive perspective. Putin has introduced a flat-rate income tax, which greatly benefits the wealthy/.../These rightwing hawks are gunning for Putin not because of concern for human rights but because an independent Russia stands in the way of their plans for global hegemony.
"These statements give great play to the arguments of Kremlin hardliners who have been telling Vladimir Putin that he cannot trust his European neighbours; that Europeans are deeply Russophobic; that he must stand apart as an independent centre of power in the world". Kremlin hardliners - это как-бы злые бояре? Бедненький...
