...Over six months have passed since the New
Russian People’s Movement started its rebellion against the Medvedev
government in Moscow, but in that short span of time the public perception of
the Russian president has changed dramatically. Once thought of as a
formidable figure, Medvedev has in recent weeks come to seem more like a
punching bag not only for the insurgents but also for critics abroad.
According to one independent Moscow journalist there is a faction within the
Duma that wants Medvedev to resign as soon as possible to make way for a
leader who can act more decisively to bring about a resolution to the conflict
in Russia....

The world needs answers to the question of why so
many innocent people were killed at Khabarovsk, and we’re not getting those

somebody took the Kremlin to task for the massacre it perpetrated on
Khabarovsk’s streets....

From a commentary by American conservative author
Ann Coulter published January 13th, 2011:
With so many bogus denials coming from the
Kremlin about the massacres at Khabarovsk, I’m starting to think "Medvedev"
must be Russian for "Pinocchio". Barry Bonds sounded more believable when he
said he wasn’t using steroids. To anybody over the age of two who hasn’t had a
concussion, it’s obvious that Medvedev had something to do with the
massacres...even if he didn’t explicitly order the hit job, he was sure as
hell cheering the killers on from the sidelines....
