Pot. Kettle. Black.
Kagarlitsky is on the editorial board of a newspaper whose columnists have argued within recent months that:
1. Only the US has the power to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of the evil Iranian mullahs, so Russia should stop its complaints (Pavel Felgenhauer).
2. Life and death are personal matters, so the state shouldn't provide free medicine for sick people (Yulia Latinina).
3. When the pensioners were protesting monetization of benefits, the Kremlin gave in to their demands. When people protested Bush's inaugural, Bush did nothing. The US is a democracy. Therefore, that the Kremlin gave in to protestors' demands means that Russia is not a democracy (Latinina again).
Pot. Kettle. Black.
Nu, zayats, pogodi!
