i told this because you have a distorted picture of russia.
all this wiseacres like politkowskaja (don't misunderstand me, her death was plaintive) wanted a democratic system and a better russia.
but they dreamed a dream of russia that will never become true..
again: you can't rule russia with such a democratic system...

You keep saying this, but there's absolutely no evidence that it's true. No one's ever tried a democratic system in Russia for any appreciable length of time. And given the horrific nature of basically every government that ever ruled Russia, it seems that maybe going in new directions would be a very good thing.

because i'm from kazakhstan, ex sowjet rupublic and i know the mentality and the history of this country better then you.
through the history there were some trials or wishes of a democratic system but it never worked out. never!

and please don't believe now that i'm putin fanboy or whatever. i told that he's actually a good politician and that the presidents before had also done "statesponsored" murder! it's russia!!!!
that's why i don't understand why you americans are so shocked of this news.

i'm sure that in america there were similar cases.
