No dialogue with 'street opposition'?

In the wake of the largest rally in decades urging political reforms, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said he does not intend to engage in dialogue with street opposition, which is scattered and slants towards extremism.

Hopefully, Medvedev can done something to make that clear about it what going on. Ever since those Snakes (CIA or Mossad Spy Agent) have already Infiltrated Russia, brainwashed and motivated those poor people to against the government that have nothing to do with it and done nothing wrong only just used pawns by Western Pigs.

If only Putin would resign right now as PM, thereby immediately making that office available to someone OTHER than that Medvedev.  That way, Putin will then get more votes next month than ever before.

Sorry for uncompromising language, but I find this rather silly.  Unregistered parties are NOT parties.  Do they represent anyone but the few people that will show up for such meeting?  RT has to show a bit more sophistication in reporting such news.  This meeting has nothing to do with "liberalization" --- nothing whatsoever.  Medvedev has spent his entire Presidency --- and most of his energy --- on giving positions of influence to "modernizers", "reformists", "libralizers'.   And what does he have to show for it?  Nothing.  Nothing whatsoever.  The liberalizing class in Russia consists entirely of people who think they are ENTITLED to live a charmed life, and the "system" is preventing them.  They just know that should the system be tilted in their favor, they would do just fine.  For that reason, I have YET to read or hear of a good program, platform, economic plan, social plan, development plan --- or any other plan --- coming out of the forums of famed liberalizers.  To me, they represent only a breed of nostalgia. This is a nostalgia for a vaguely definable "european" life, the one that does not exist in Europe. Russia needs to move to the future, not the indulge in false dreams.  

The proof is for all to see.  What did Medvedev's men do with the broad Medvedev's modernization program?   Moved a pinky to implement anything?   No. They were too busy finding scapegoats for their failure, mouthing off more vague "reforms" that they cannot identify nor describe.
