The irony being that he's still better than what came before him, and the current alternatives! I think not only is he desperate to avoid anyone getting a look at the finances, theres a touch of Sun King Syndrome, if someone strong doesnt control Russia, it'll collapse into anarchy.

A few years back, for a while I thought of Putin filling a role similar to Havelock Vetinari but now I think he's more like Mad Lord Snapcase.

Since the murder of Anna Politkovskaya on Putin's birthday it seems clear who that guy is.
Insofar, two years of detention look like a black eye ... though heaven knows what's gonna happen to them in prison ...

These girls don't even have a decent song.Nice try with this PR trick but these things just don't work in Russia.I guess they are ok with paying this price for being famous,for me it's just stupid.

Did they actually break anything?
Or deface anything?
I don't recall.
Not sure their music is reason enough to have them banged up.
If it was either of the Gallagher brothers however...

There's an online-petition for their release now ... demanding an assets freeze and travel ban on Putin’s powerful inner circle ...

Speaking of freeze... half of Europe is dependent on Russian gas, so nothing like that will happen.

gas and oil. I like all that kind of nice idealistic, forgetting about reality, slogans. In Europe is still Lukashenko one last mofo true dictator, no one can do anything with him (again, small contribution in that has state of Russia, and firget about small bickering btween Putin and Lukashenko).
