Freedom of speech and democracy are basic values for the US leadership,” Nemtsov said. “And for ours, it’s censorship and the authorities' monopoly over everything.” Wasn't Nemtsov deputy prime minister under the Yeltsin regime when he and his fellow tribesmen controlled absolutely everything in Russia when ordinary Russians have experienced, on average, a 75 percent plunge in living standards since 1991. Democracy and freedom of speech was not an issue then only when Putin kicked out these Oligarchs did this become an issue for Kasparov and his CIA/ NED coalition party and NGO's.
