re: #79 Sergey Romanov

Of course. I must say that on the level of words Putin often says very correct things. For example, when asked by a Nashi activist during some meeting if it wouldn’t be better to give more power to the Church and to unite the State and the Church because the sects degrade the society (and apparently because it’s a fount of good and morality, y’know), Putin was very clear - “democratic values are more important”. Of course, words are words, and whatever happens in practice is more important.

A man isn’t what he says, he’s what he does. Too many people seeking strong confirmation of their bias either ignore that, don’t understand it or think only of applying it to the ‘others’.
