Key point that the Powers that Be refuse to admit. Not everybody else in the world wants "Stateside Democracy". Sovereign nations are well within their rights to decide for themselves what they want.
Medvedev and Putin have a point when American officials tell them they're reacting to Russian freedom of the press based on their corporate MSM biases. Vladimir Pozner has a point when he says how can you complain about "freedom of speech" when you've never had it?
That being said, considering there's no freedom of the press in the States, who are they to criticize Russia?
Hope the relationship between America and Russia improves now and congratulations to all the Americans - they proved that the sense of decency is still alive in the US!
In all honesty, since America has practically turned her back on God, I wouldn't be surprised if America turned into an also-ran and that the Russians usurped American superiority.
A recent blog article at the English language version of Pravda makes allusion to this.
state of the union is a relatively new phenomenon in Russia. But if they place so much emphasis on it, it could be a good normative push for accountability. Perhaps with even more democratic effects than in U.S.

What a puppet.
Bring back Putin and stop with this crappy democracy of yours. Russia will always be dictatorship and that is a good thing as long as the dictator is not a puppet.
Do you really think that American democracy is not crappy ))))))) It's illusion of freedom. Your country is ruled be big corporations and shadow economy, there is no metter what president you will elect tommorow, it will be puppet. You will be free if you know where your place is.
When USSR collapsed, Russia had real democracy by Eltsin! When crowds of people and elections decide what would be with country the following day. Americans will never understand what real democracy look like.
And, and tell me about the aliens that beam signals through the TV! You're an idiot. Why? B/c in order to have TRUE democracy means you have the right to vote, or not. Only 1/3 of the electorate actual care to vote. And just b/c you don't get your way, that doesn't mean democracy has failed.
Nothing wrong. It's only example of comfortable quiet life =\
I ment real democracy is not when government do not prevent people live happy. Real democracy is when people participate in country politics.
Now, by Medvedev and Putin our democracy do not look as real as by Eltsin. I feel propaganda and censor on TV, leaders less and less listen to people when make desisions....
And in USA it's the same what we have now in Russia. Group of people contol country, president is only puppet.
so now that the president of russia has a blog... can i be the first to suggest that we start reinvestigating 9/11? i think the world might be able to actually get a grasp on geopolitics if we are able to critically re-evaluate what happened that day. an honest investigation will prove benefitial for russians, americans, and peoples of all nations of the world.
can you believe that the same people who lied about iraq, saddam, ties to al qaeda, weapons of mass destruction, torture, and the true state of the economy wouldn't lie about 9/11?
and why do you think iraq has been a disaster? its made billions of dollars for the military-industrial complex and destabilized the middle east to pave the way for radical leaders to take power.

While I have nothing against having another investigation, As obviously some unanswered questions remain.
I do not accept the inside job theory.
I also think had Bush not gone into iraq, People would be less suspicious in questioning the official account of 9/11.
Can you believe that the same incompetent people who fumbled the iraq war could be smart off to pull something on that magnitude and get away with it?
