Libel

"Cases of Putin playing the boss" were considered isolated.

Многочисленный от путин командовать были отвеоьно взятый случай.

Nominative case. Same was as saying. Cases were isolated. So everything including adjectives and nouns are nominative.

"Mr. Putin, Operative in Kremlin, by Fiona Hill and Clifford Gaddy."
