Stung by international criticism of its presidential and congressional elections, Russia is striking back by sending a team of observers to monitor the U. S. presidential poll on Nov. 4.
Andrei Nesterenko, a spokesman with Russia's Foreign Ministry, says Moscow will have eight election observers attached to a monitoring mission conducted by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
The OSCE, which has infuriated the Kremlin in the past by criticizing elections in Russia and other post-communist states, is sending 62 election observers to the United States.
The mission, headed by Audrey Glover, the top British diplomat, includes a core of 13 international experts from the OSCE's office in Washington and 48 international observers who will be deployed in teams of two around the country.
In addition to visiting polling stations on Nov. 4, they will study the election campaign, media coverage and issues of voter registration, identification and voters rights.
Russia's Central Elections Committee has also assigned its Centre for the Study of Election Technology to review the U. S. election campaign.

Maybe they can compare notes with the UN group that was here over the summer to study racial prejudice in the US.
Agreed, but there has been plenty of help.
Consider Dorothy Sayers on the sin of Sloth:
"The sixth deadly sin is named by the Church acedia or sloth. In the world it calls itself tolerance, but in hell it is called despair. It is the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, loves nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive only because there is nothing it would die for."
“Russians, real experts on a democratic society.”
ROFL

nowadays, on any given day, on any given cable system, you can watch Russia Today (prolly a PRAVDA subsidiary) use the phrase ‘American brainwashing’, if the alphabet media isn’t far enough to the left for you! ...or go to their website, RTTV.ru for free viruses, trojans, and other claptrap!
History repeats itself.

Don't forget Philly!
