Listening to the people is not a licence to practice destruction of the Russian state. Which is what Russophobes try to turn it into. It is a normal, sensible approach where people can air their thoughts, suggest things; some accepted some rejected. The problem comes when the extremists don't like it when their suggestions are rejected and secondly when there is no constitution to prevent the lynch mob approach. But a strong listening state is the way to go, let the extremists and Russophobes find their place elsewhere. The last thing we need is a paralysing two party system, with two marketing teams, whose sole purpose is to secure control of the money supply!

The Chrisitian Science Monitor is neither Christian or Scientific... they are Russia haters. They also write terrible articles about how the "all powerful"( their words), Russian Orthodox Church is not really a church. In fact I read one article a few years ago which inferred that ANY Orthodox Church in the world is NOT actually Christian but more of a cult. A CULT? The CSM is full of ATHEISTS so they hate any CHURCH!! RT, please do not give any print space to that loser outfit the CSM!! PLEASE!!!

Here is to suggest not over-reacting. It is the fact that generally Slavic tradition failed to conceive feedback as an essential part of the improvement control loop. This is the strategic job to be done and Medvedev is formatting it very well. CSM missed benevolence indicating they have parted from positive global feedback. If Russia is running short-circuits then CSM is idling non-synchronized. The point is to make these two systems generating power. Russia is not to improve and CSM to have an elegant waiting choice. The structural network must be detected and the Christian pickup yet to be engineered. We all better give up our pretentions to fully understand inner laws of life, which is visibly manifesting only a demand for inevitable engagement. In short – the challenge is on both sides. Let paraphrase the Christian Solaris Monitor: “There is no choice – both can only move”.
