You are correct: Here is a NYT free link. https://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/08/world/europe/08putin.html?ugrp=u&unlocked_article_code=1.e00.VEBV.nGg0W1E-68n4&smid=url-share
But I would say what you wouls expect me to Michael: Namely that no less than Khrushchev, Putin is not a reliable historical source. We'll soon find a new display of his twisting of facts-history for his benefit I fear. Of course Putin "used" the theatre attack in Moscow as an "attack by Chechnya" to seal his final path to the top. ( https://www.theleftberlin.com/vladimir-putin-was-decisive-in-shaping-modern-capitalist-russia/ ( https://www.theleftberlin.com/vladimir-putin-was-decisive-in-shaping-modern-capitalist-russia/ ) ) I rather fear the new individual terror attack (apparently by ISIS) will be used to launch a renewed assault upon Ukraine. If it is true that the US had warned Russian government of an impending attack at a concert hall, it has to be considered whether 'they let it happen'. Shades of.... Netanyahu. And of course.. of Putin himself in 1999. H Michael - I ask for your indulgence. I have not had time to fully address your comment re Marshall Tukachevsky. It cometh, but with not sloth, rather simple delay. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
