Continuing Bad News Out Of Russia
Last April Ed Crane and other leaders in the fight for liberty spent over 4 hours talking to Russian President Putin and were encouraged by his sympathy with their ideas. But Putin's control of the recent Ukraine election, the legislation he sponsored which allows him to appoint regional governors, and now his take over of one of the world's largest oil companies all point to tyranny gaining at the expense of freedom. Perhaps Anne Applebaum can provide us with some hope in a forthcoming column.
