Ok, I've finally wasted 1.5 hours of my life watching this :)
1. Misinfo on Putin's Parlament majority blocking bombings prosecution. United Russia didn't have majority till 2004.
2. Misinfo on reason for 2nd Chechen war. It happened because Chechen militants invaded Dagestan and attacked the town of Botlich, not because of Volgodonsk bombings.
3. Misinfo on reason for 1st Chechen war. The federal forces were sent there two years before elections (after 3 years of local civil war) and the war was the major reason for Yeltsin's rating to drop down to 2%. You don't start electoral wars 2 years before elections.
4. Misinfo on reason for Trepashkin's jail sentence. He was sentenced for disclosure of state secret, not carrying some stupid gun (Russian laws only fine for carrying a gun).
5. Khodorkovskiy's speech on corruption is fun. The murderous fucker had Parlament majority on a payroll as of 2003.
6. 40B figure is laughable. Why would you need money if you have a largest country in the world with nuclear weapons at your disposal? Power > money, and only ppl with no power think otherwise. Watch House of Cards for details :)
7. Misinfo on 2011/2012 protests being put down by police. I personally attended 2 out of 4 massive actions, ridiculously, those were the only two that had violence involved, Manezhnaya on 2010 and so called May 6 march on 2012. Both times - no casualties. Bolotnaya and Sakharova (the only truly massive ones) had no violence involved.
8. Fabled Credit Suisse unequality report is bullshit, it estimates Russian national wealth equal to national wealth of Singapore. So "very neutral report" my ass :) For reasonable unequality index, refer to CIA Gini index report, where Russia is between UK and US.
9. Misinfo about mass media being under Kremlin control. I have already stated here that the most popular newspapers in Russia are published by News Corp and Financial Times. Which I find disturbing by the way, and I personally welcome the introcution of the law that prohibits mass media to be more than 20% owned by foreign investors (I suppose you have similar law in U.S. for a long time now). And we don't have any kind of media control body like Office of Communication in UK.
10. Funny talks on on "invaded Crimea", showing footage having no relevance to Crimea at the same time :)
11. MH17 - I didn't get it. Did the author imply that Russians shot it down? BS with no ground.
I have liked two lines however, first about "they don't want to be democrats", and second "he doesn't back down". First one is largely true, I could certainly say that between the state power and democracy, we certainly choose state power, sorry. And second - it's not "he doesn't back down" - it's "we don't back down", there's a largely popular Russian proverb stating "Russians don't surrender", and hearing words like "We need to show him we're for real or he doesn't take us seriously" - that's laughable incompetent shit :)
