Кстати, о выборах: вчера зашел на сайт ВВС, и зарегился в дискуссии по обсуждению результатов.
Запостил 3 невинных коммента. Все 3 - отклонены (дискуссия премодерируется).
Вот и свобода высказываний ::)

COMMENT:
I voted for Medvedev.
It was my sole decision.
No one "forced" me to go.
Who am I?
Russian, 50, born, graduated and started professional career in the USSR in 80s.
I witness everything happened in SU/Russia during my life.
Changed to business, got MBA degree and survived "brothel" of 90s.
Now - CEO of local branch of EU corporation, frequent business traveler to EU.
I voted for stability, development and better life.
Like many others.
Don't say I'm blind - I saw enough in my life.

COMMENT:
I can never make my mind up with Russia. Are they good guys or bad guys???
Paul Doyle, Liverpool
May I put one example: my friend / colleague from Slough is coming over for 10 years - first for business, now just for fishing with us.
May you imagine his 4-5 days private trips London - Nizhny - London ... just to catch (or not
some fish with friends?
Does it say something to you?
As for "good" and "bad" - they are here, like everywhere.
Welcome to Russia!

COMMENT:
Does anybody know where Gary Kasparov came?
Mark Shanahan, Sussex
No one I know asks this question here in Russia. Guess, why?
Because nobody cares ... what former champion is doing.
In policy he is nobody from the middle of nowhere...
Better if he continues to do what he can do well
