Navalny and his brother were convicted for actual crimes, you know.

Actual crimes they committed, though?

Yep. Asset theft, bread and butter of oligarchs, like Khodorkovsky, and wannabe oligarchs, like Navalny.

Grimm also had an incident where he threatened to throw a reporter off a balcony and/or 'break you in half, like a boy'. So, yeah, he had more than that tax fraud thing going on.

1) Grimm committed crimes but wasn't persecuted for it, just prosecuted.  That's the point.
2) http://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2014/12/30/proces-navalny-yves-rocher-une-plainte-au-service-du-pouvoir_4547460_3210.html

Lors d’une des audiences, son directeur financier a assuré que les prix pratiqués par Glavpodpiska étaient inférieurs à ceux du marché, et que s’il devait resigner aujourd’hui le même contrat, il le ferait. L’entreprise a également conduit un audit interne concluant qu’elle n’avait subi aucun préjudice.

The supposed victim says that no crime was committed and they would have been happy to extend the contract they were supposedly getting ripped off under.  This is an unusual statement for the victim to make to say the least.

I wonder if any of the replies to that noticed it.

All of them noticed it and made fun of it.

Washington DC stuff is a cheap fake.

Real twitter account is @euro_manezhka the one with Washington is @euromanezhka

Morals - turn on your brain and don't trust anything in Social networks without checking twice.

Oil at 53 and the ruble is hitting on 61. Pretty good dead cat bounce I'd say. Putin should really get to doing something about this, oh wait, they are spending 10 billion+ a week for this exchange rate to hold. There's not much time that this can continue, then the bottom will fall out [again].

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Ten more billions? Heh

*sings*
Holidays are coming! Holidays are coming! Holidays are coming!

I honestly think you two shouldn't gloat that much, it's not very polite.

EDIT: And ruble is back to 58.

[Sergarr]

If you haven't noticed, this thread doesn't exactly invites polite people...

[Ukrainian Ranger]

And you come to thread only to tell how great ruler Putin is and how bad USA

Gloating over incompetence of Russian Tsar and inevitable collapse of the oversized gas station* makes my life better. Especially when butthurt Russians are around.

BTW, where is the classic "Ukrainian situation even worse" argument? Don't disappoint me Knit Tie.

*Unfortunately unlike Mict I think this will take no less than a decade

butthurt
