Soutien au régime syrien et répression au pays, Vladimir Poutine utilise des méthodes qui remémorent à bien des observateurs l'Union soviétique.
"Vladimir Putin knows no shame. On Tuesday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton accused Russia of supplying attack helicopters to the Syrian government. Apparently, blocking the United Nations Security Council from punishing Syria isn’t enough for the Russian president. He needs to be actively helping the Syrian dictator, Bashar al-Assad, kill his own people more efficiently and in even larger quantities.
Mr. Putin’s record at home is also shameful. Anti-Putin street protests began six months ago after a disputed parliamentary election and were re-energized by Mr. Putin’s inauguration in May. Even then, they pose no threat at all to Mr. Putin’s power or the corrupt status quo.
But Mr. Putin, who honed his bullying instincts as a K.G.B. officer, cannot tolerate any challenge or even a robust political debate. On Monday, the Kremlin sent 10 police teams across Moscow to stage early-morning raids on the homes of leading opposition figures.
