“President Putin and his associates do not believe in these values. They don’t respect your dignity or accept your authority over them. They punish dissent and imprison opponents. They rig your elections. They control your media. They harass, threaten, and banish organizations that defend your right to self-governance. To perpetuate their power they foster rampant corruption in your courts and your economy and terrorize and even assassinate journalists who try to expose their corruption.”
~ Sen John McCain
McCain wrote an Op-Ed piece in Pravda, a Web site founded in 1999 that is not connected to the official newspaper of the Russian Communist Party.
