But Putin's proposed bill broadens the term "treason" to include inaction as well as action, includes a breach to internal security and adds international organizations to foreign ones as those forbidden to receive state secrets.

Critics also warned the loose wording will give authorities ample leeway to prosecute those who cooperate with international rights groups.

If the IHT article is true, this is a disappointing development. I had heard that Medvedev was originally a lawyer/attorney.

Doubly sad if he signs this bill.

There's no "if" about it. Medvedev will do whatever Vlad tells him to.

If you look close, you can see the strings move when Medvedev makes a move.
RIP Russian Democracy. Sadly, the Russians still have not learned where giving absolute power to an individual leads you. You think after hundreds of years of Czarist rule, followed by 70 years of Communism would have taught them something, but apparently not.

Prepare to see Kasparov, his opposition group, and other anti-Putin groups round up and killed soon. Btw how is the Russian economy doing since the oil crash? I'm guessing not too well.

When war criminals like Henry Kissinger are free in the USA then USA have no right to criticize Russia. Besides Anatoly Chubais learned all the things from the West. USA hypocrisy is amazing.

Garry Kasparov is a clown funded by Boris Berezovsky. Anyway look at all the other choices in Russia who could be leaders people like Gennady Zyuganov, Vladimir Zhirinovsky and Eduard Limonov.

Putin might be a product of the Yeltsin group but atleast Putin sent that thieve Khodorkovsky to Siberia. Yukos was a stolen company. True Russia is still ruled by the former Yeltsin crew but things are better then they were when Boris Yeltsin was president.

Everyone needs a hobby.
"Blame America First' seems to be getting more popular...

Now now, no one will be rounded up.

Instead, it will be a series of tragic "accidents".

I'll criticize Russia all I want. Luckily I don't live there or else I might "disappear" for such a treasonous act. What's next for Russia? Actual though police? Maybe they'll take the Japanese invention that records dreams and start monitoring everyone. Doesn't seem out of bounds for the current Russian regime.

I spotted that site a few weeks ago, liked it, and made a mental note... then promptly forgot about it. But there was something about the paucity of the OP that brought it springing back to mind. It was just asking for it

I'm glad to see it was enjoyed!

Clearly, this is meant to jail CIA/Mossad/Chechnian sponsored proveacatures, who are sent to Russia to stir up trouble. I hear the so-called protesters are also descended from the Romanov artistocracy.

Reminds me of that scene in the drug lord Bond with Timothy Dalton. The drug lord says to the president of some South American country, "Remember! You only are El Presidente For Life."
