I love RT, good foreign policy news, juicy tids bits, and to end it off a druken Russian hooligan fight with OMON. I'm so entertained. I bet the oligrachs and western elites that paid for this are even more so, but for different reasons then me. I like Russia, not from it, but don't want to see it succum to some inbred oligarchs or new age khazar, Please they are getting so old, time for people to spit at their authorithy instead of some poor kung-fu cop in Moscow.

Thank GOD Putin won't be allowed to run for president next time!!

@ New World Order , now I experience the same as you have, because I have not posted the comment that suggestes "Avatar" or any other screen name, than the one you normally use. I can usually tell the difference by the content of your and those who try to impose as you! So somebody also misuse my screen name, to continue something that looked like a dispute between us, but in my oinion we have solved!

Calm down Angie.... There is a psychopath troll on this website which steals people's screen names and posts sick nonsense under the stolen name; IT also posts vile obscenities and anti-Russia hate statements, and tries to bully and threaten other commenters. IT has been doing this for some time now on this website. The pathetic maggot actually thinks that IT will be able to change something by posting idiocies like "Death to Russia". Of course in reality IT probably is a fat loser "keyboard commando" which would be crushed like a bug if IT actually dared to face any opponent in person, anywhere... Just ignore the worm and continue giving your opinions; IT cannot do anything to you and everyone on this website knows who is who. What annoys me, however, is the way that RT allows this subhuman to keep infesting this site with ITS filth - THAT, to me, is much more troublesome than anything that comes out of its insect-brain!   � �

 107%

Chechnya, 107% Turnout —for Putin http://www.ny times.com/2012/03/06 /world/europe/fraudu lent-votes-for-putin -abound-in-chechnya. html

Why is it possible that my real name was stolen here on the RT comment board? Please do something, Please!

It seems the vast majority of commentors agree that they have seen bigger crowd numbers at their village harvest festival and that these peopl are moron right wing facists!. This crowd does not even equal 1% of russian population. We saw Putins celebration election party where MILLIONS lined the streets of moscow to welcome Putin and the crowds went beyond the cameras range in every direction hes so popular! Why do RT continue to give these people publicity when they are such an insignificant number? Nobody would miss them if they were ignored and the 99% were the focus of the news.

Frustration was always going to set in once the leadership of the ’opposition’ of liars, deceivers and paid agents, failed in their attempts to recruit a wide following and simply ran of political gas. Putin’s landslide victory was the nail in the coffin, for an ‘opposition’ of the treacherous trio that failed to grasp the fact that gimmicky tricks and video fraud, was not the right basis for a political critical mass in Russia. Quite simply they stagnated, due to lack of real political ideas and solutions to every day problems. The result of this failed ‘opposition’ leadership was in the end violence, as they tried again to vent their personal egotistical frustration and mask their lack of political ideas in a last stand grasp for craved power for themselves. After all a few thousand attendees, against a promise of millions was a huge humiliation in itself. But was there anything positive in all this, well yes there was, the police were absolutely fantastic, they have permitted protest, whilst moving swiftly to set bounds and act when law breaking was at hand. This was a movement to a new improved democratic stability in Russia, an ability to trust our police to handle the situation and thus move away from the fear, that protest must be banned outright, for fear of consequences. This has been the huge step forward, thanks to our police, authorities and the vast majority of protesters. It has been shown that we can move forward, whilst maintaining stability, proving fully the Putin model of stability is the right one for Russia, a step wise walk to greater things, not a free for all unpredictable chaos. The power is with the people, and that’s the majority of the people, the one’s who voted for Putin, and who will not have their voices stolen by the treacherous trio of the ’opposition’. The police showed yesterday that the only route to power here is through the ballot box, and they will be the guardians of that civil order.

Please, dear RT Admin., please delete those abusive, aggressive and insulting ravings ASAP, which are NOT READABLE for a civilized person in this world!

With best wishes to Vladimir Putin and to all the Russian people during his inauguration, that his well won presidency will not be fettered by what seems to be carrying on after the election. In the news media here in America, with Russian election commenters, its easy to understand where all the power play is coming from. With America's election so near I'm sure that the parties involved would hope that no more emcumberances except from their own politico monsters would attack their campaigns. Again, with best wishes.

Karen Sherry Brackett wrote in #5When William Wallace finally stood up for Scotland's freedom, he did so in great regret; because he had waited until it was too late. He did not find the courage to stand up for Scotland’s Freedom until he had lost his will to live. The British had murdered his wife, Marion. Up until that day he had noticed small things going wrong but his life was good and happy and he did not want to spill the contentment of his own day to handle small affairs of state. When he did finally stand up, he did not stand up alone.   No one should wait to defend Freedom until they have had to bury their loved ones for lack of it. The time to stand up for Freedom is at the first sign of its decay. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Kare n Sherry Brackett you cannot be free until Central Banks and Federal Reserve are private. You will be only free when every gov. and state nationalize Central Banks and Federal Reserve, then you can sleep tight. So, go fight for Central Banks nationalization, my friend. By the way, William Wallace fought for freedom from Englishman not Russians, heheheh
