Russia's Putin reappears after 10-day absence

Huh. Ok, that's yet another thing about Putin that I don't understand and he probably does.

He's a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a dictator.

The guy who wrote the "neoliberal" bit appears to think that the Soviet Union was socialist. To call that opinion pig ignorant is to insult pigs.

In my opinion, nothing has contributed so much to the corruption of the original idea of socialism as the belief that Russia is a socialist country . . . And so for the last ten years, I have been convinced that the destruction of the Soviet myth was essential if we wanted a revival of the socialist movement.
