This happens all the time in European style democracies. Poland did the same thing last week.

That's pretty much standard for a Parlimentary system. Italy will probably do it twice this year. In any event, Putin and the ex-KGB apparatus had control before, and they will have control after.

hmm...Ivanov must be as close to a hardliner as Putin is if Vlad's willing to name him as a potential successor.

Unlike a nuclear weapon, the bomb doesn't hurt the environment, he added.
Wonder if P.E.T.A. and Greenpeace gave the D.O.A.B. a thumbs up....lol

Putin is the reincarnation of Stalin. Say hello to the new Soviet Union. Not what I call progress. :(

Nothing to worry about. After all GWB said "I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straight forward and trustworthy and we had a very good dialogue."
