European gov'ts criticise Russian vote
European Governments... but French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who finds nothing better than to call and congratulate Putin for his victory... Rolling Eyes

Poor adrien. At least France has a less distasteful President than the Us.

As for Russia, I think it's a bit fishy. That election commission wasn't at all impressed by what they observed. I think Putin's men hired those goons who were crashing around Moscow with pro-Putin signs. On the other hand, I've read recent articles that suggest there is a nationalist movement amongst Russian youths. One of our members here is an expat living in Russia and he has described the same.
