Earlier this week, Russians celebrated the 62nd anniversary of their victory in the Great Patriotic War, known to most readers of this page as World War II. At the festivities, Russian President Vladimir Putin likened the United States under the Bush Administration to Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.
This page finds Putin's criticism somewhat of a surprise. Up until that point, I thought that the Russian President was a big fan of secret police forces, ethnic cleansing, choking journalistic freedom, and military adventurism. However, in calling the American kettle black, Russia's pot may be closer to the truth than we care to admit.
