A short time ago Russia had monumental event when Mr. Putin laid the cornerstone for democracry, and now Mr. Medvedev is a large part of this good effort. It seems these positive developments have brought a hope to the Russian people that has not been seen before! Along the way there will be people such as Mikhail Khodorkovsky in Russia and many in the United States (lobbyists, etc.) who will attempt to use their wealth to influence the practice; hope of democracy, in both of our Countries, for it must be their way. As an example the United States and Russia were recently made aware of computer crime groups in both Countries working together. The Russian Government is working to stop this criminal activity, for they would be blamed, if not. The United States Government is stymied for the representatives of this group much like a Khodorkovsky in Russia, own many through political contributions, etc. In the end, many times in the United States, it is the messenger who is shot, not the criminal. So a humble thought is, if Russia and the United States are going to tackle corruption jointly, make sure the person or persons are known behind the face you are looking at, for it may be Saakashvilli making your morning coffee or tea. - With hope to the future for all.

This is humerous. The two most corrupt governments in the world tackling corruption. It is for show.

Russia knows that Transparency International is a George Soros NGO and works with affiliated National Endowment for Democracy (NED) NGO’s. The same Soros who engineered the post Soviet economy into the hands of a western aligned Oligarchy like his friend Khoderkovsky who was about to selling over Russia’s oil rights to Chevron-Texaco before the oil boom due to the US war in Iraq. (Russia raided Soros Open Society headquarters when it arrest Khoderkovsky)

Probably a good idea would be to let Russian investigators help expose American CONGRESSIONAL CORRUPTION and CORRUPTION BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION and the AMERICAN FINANCIAL/BANKING/WALL STREET CRIMINALS. These people will never investigate their own corruption. They have allowed big money to take control of everything. In return, the United States could provide a similar service to the Russian people. This could help put the world on a more honest course and set the stage to prosecute corrupt government office holders and BANKSTERS.

Corruption, Money talks the same language and values, especially when it gets big and people have to worship it. If it's a threat to your environment in any way, kill it.
