Arkady Babchenko: “One question for Putin”

“The person who will give a press conference today is as straightforward as two or two. And just as predictable. Every step of his is predictable six months in advance. Everything with the amnesty was clear long before this amnesty appeared. Well, no one I really expected that Khodorkovsky would be released under an amnesty, right? And they were waiting for a third term.

And a man with the straightforwardness of an ensign did not disappoint our expectations. There is no political amnesty. There is a third term. Everything is simple and clear. It is enough just to serve two years in the army to predict any actions of a person with the shoulder straps of a lieutenant colonel with almost one hundred percent probability several steps ahead. I don’t know what else to talk about here.”
