I'm censored again? For 'offensive' comments? Like I said, these stupid letters are just distractions for these two countries' governments. Putin has his in the NYT which still has a wide publication and reaches many homes and also translated to English. McCain chooses 'Pravda' online which hardly anyone in Russia reads.

Do anti-Putin 'letters' submitted in Russian get in the major newspapers in Russia? I know about the columnists and reporters who get shot and killed...

"The very fact of publication proves that everything McCain wrote is a lie," Gorshenin told Izvestia. "If the entire press were controlled from the Kremlin, how could a piece like that appear on a website everyone calls pro-Kremlin?"
The above shows how cunning, shady and unethical these media people are. It's a manipulative lie and I am no fan of McCain at all! The Kremlin doesn't give a **** about web/internet columns that hardly any Russians will look for. Anyway...
