Talk about shilling for a crook.
Once a booster of Russian capitalism, the 42-year-old former billionaire is now calling for a "left turn" toward massive social spending, endearing him to Russia's still-numerous communist voters
Capitalism? Hardly. Capitalists are the likes of the owners of Vimplecom or Baltica who built factories, made honost business practices and earned real money. This man, along with his bunch are nothing but crooks who worked through the Yeltsin government to steal anything and everything that wasn't nailed down and kill off quite a few people who stood in their way, along with 500+ parlimentarians and aids by backing Yeltsin's seige of Parliment when it refused to go along with the oligarchical fire sale.
Oh and by the way, another one of these scum, Berezovsky, gave the Communist party $6 million during the last elections, from his exile in Britian. He also gave millions to islamic radicals in Chechnya, but who's counting?
