“Mr Markov says Europeans are very scared Obama will be replaced by a monster like Sarah Palin”

Scratch a Russian find a Tartar.
“Scratch a Russian, find a Tatar.”
An oft-forgotten but oh-so-true observation. Russians are not Western, not now, not ever. I’ve known them. Some even have “tatarski glaza”, Tatar eyes that are almond shaped and asiatic. Not to be trusted.
But....ignore them at your peril.
