Putin, the Cowardly Lion

Here is another post of interest from La Russophobe.  See Putin's Internet Crackdown from which I lifted another statement from the whole.

Putin is a coward who fears the printed word in any form just as his Soviet ancestors did. He knows he is a failure, and that if he were exposed he would lose power.

Apparently KGB philosophy is so ingrained in his psychological structure that he can neither reform himself nor does he desire to do so.
