| I understand where your coming from, rcne, but what is the real problem with Bayasev's views being aired? How are we to understand the debate if all we get is the views of the Russian state? Bayasev is clearly a key player in this conflict, or else the Russian state wouldn't care, so his views are important. We could gain insights into what it is that is causing this conflict, which is essential if it is to be stopped. Even if you could never sympathise or agree with the cause, surely you can at least see the benefits of this through the adage "know thy enemy".
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
