He was named by poemless as someone who routinely criticizes the Kremlin. The Kremlin. Not Russia. Can't you tell the difference?

It's clear to me that he doesn't routinely criticize the Kremlin, that he's as likely to defend it from criticism as to criticize it, and he certainly doesn't specialize in Russia.  What's more, he's quite likely to be as abusive as me ("bugger off, loser") or more so.  Therefore, POEMLESS was wrong on both counts.

I'd like to add that I think it's highly offensive to the Russian people that you don't hold them accountable for what their government does.  Are they inferior beings like monkeys or dogs who can't be expected to come up to Western standards in this regard?  You ought to stop hating them so much.

So if he fails to call Russians to account for the acts of their elected government, he's even less a true critic of Russia and certainly no alternative to La Russophobe.

Russia is the best country in the world . . . except for all the others!

La Russophobe : ... to come up to Western standards

"Western" ?
"standards" ?
Care to elaborate what those things are ?
