you know, i was only half kidding a few months ago when, in light of the assassination in London being shown to have strong ties to Putin, i joked to the roommate that Putin was trying to start another Cold War because he feels left out.

now? not so much with the kidding.

For instance, about 80% of authors on all web-forums very aggressively and uniformly curse the USA. But in polls in which a single computer can vote only once, 84% of Russian-speaking Internet users support the USA. A similar picture appears regarding approval-disapproval of the war in Chechnya, support for the policies of Putin and his administration, etc. Everywhere the situation is the same: wherever the voting is protected – where one cannot vote a second time – the results are diametrically opposed to the results of “unprotected” polls and inversely proportional to the percentage of “totalitarian” postings on forums.

it's like high school all over again. and really? after all this time, you'd think the KGB FSB would learn some new tricks.
