Re: Protesters, police clash in Russia

Im completely with the Russians on the Estonia thing. It is time Estonia starts looking at the future and stops treating them like second rate citizens. The rage on Russian side is completely understandable.

About things happening in Russia itself: I don't see an easy way out of this. Putin should stop oppressing the opposition, the press and only use force when democracy itself is at stake. It seems to me he cares more about protecting his own position than democracy. I dont care if russia become socialistic again - as long as democracy gives the people the power to vote for what they want.
