Off-topic but what the hell. These are the
least of the objections to Putin. Look at Chechnya and tell me he isn't being coddled by the Western press. And that's just one example. The things he's doing to any hint of political opposition in Russia are perfectly in tune with his KGB origins.
Speaking of which, I was talking the other day with someone who actually knew him (and some of his victims) way back in Leningrad. Hair-raising. A vicious punk.
