Telegraph: Reports that former USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev has called for the recent Russian Duma ( Parliament ) Elections to be rerun, as they were rigged to benefit the Government. The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as the article notes has stated that the elections were not free or fair, thus the Obama restart with Russia after Bush 43 is out of the window. One has to ask has PM Putin started to believe his own press statements, does really think he is the real hard man of Russia. In other words has he gone bonkers like Assad of Syria, or Gaddafi of Libya. This could be a crossroads for Russia folks, either the will of the people is see to be acted upon in full or Russia is a fake democracy. The people should come out on the streets, in their thousands, if the Army would not shoot its own people during the August Coup of 1991, then it will not shoot its own people NOW. It might be time for PM Putin to have a rethink, have a real elections, one doubts the Communists would make real headway if they were seen as having a real chance of power. Lets hope the men in white coats wont be needed at the Kremlin to take away a mad ex KGB officer who has lost the plot.
