BBC, CNN, NYT etc., every f**king celebrity from Madonna to Sting, everyone wants to protect poor babes from evil-doing Putin :D
I remember when this whole information wave of ROC-related news have started, eeer... IIRC it was about wristwatch the Patriarch was wearing during McFaul visit or smth? Yeah, stupid wristwatch made it to the news (not nationalwide, of course), and then shit hit the fan just after presidential elections... Chruch this, Church that, Church booo. And finally after half a year it went worlwide with central topic back to Putin, even the Pussy Riot story is like a month old, no? OMFG you'd know smth has happened when smth as negligible as Pussy Riot story went worldwide :D Not for long, I'd imagine, but still.
The issue is overly politicized, but from another side obviously. Authoroites should have just ignored the case instead of taking stupid babes into court, even if they should have. When the f**k do they learn how to avoid slippery ground?
What entertains me more is how easily people bite, you just see it by the OP reaction with far-reaching conclusions. You'd need Joel to understand what SU or Imperial Russia have smth to do with the story :D
//Oh, my, if I had a chance I'd seriously consider imigrating to Tau Ceti or Alpha Centauri, to some actually sapient lifeforms, even if due to obvious intellectual disability I'd work rest of my life as a janitor :D People, stick to the games, vote and don't bother your life with politics.
