	NPR News: Vladimir Putin: Transcript of Robert Siegel Interview
		President Putin: I started practicing this sport when I was 14, and as a matter of fact, what I did start engaging in was something called sambo, which is a Russian acronym for, quote, "self-defense without arms," unquote, which is a Russian wrestling technique.
		President Putin: I was thinking that he was being a little extreme, and I was thinking that that kind of an extreme attitude was unlikely to result in the accomplishing of an objective, even though those objectives that President Reagan himself was mapping out were noble.
		President Putin: I think that if you were to go to Russia now, to come to Russia now, and if you could see for yourself how active and proactive the Russian press is now, I think many of the questions that you are about to ask, you probably even wouldn't bother to ask.

	Who Framed President Putin? - INTERVIEW - MOSNEWS.COM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Gazeta.Ru Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday outlined his plans to end the direct election of regional governors as part of efforts to “strengthen the effectiveness of the authorities” in combating terrorism.
		Putin also insisted that the lower house of parliament — the State Duma —; should be elected solely on the basis of proportional representation.
		Vladimir Putin’s proposal to have governors elected on the recommendation of the president means that your passive right to be elected would be violated and, for example, you will not become a mayor of Moscow unless your candidacy is nominated by the president.

	The Avalon Project : Transcipt of Joint Press Conference Between the Prime Minister Tony Blair and President Putin in ...
		President Putin, at one of your previous meetings with Mr Blair in St Petersburg you spoke at great length about the danger of Islamist terrorism.
		I would like to ask the President please what is the latest information he has about the loss of the Siberian airliner and whether he is satisfied that there was no terrorist involvement in that.
		And that is the relationship today, and I welcome that and from the very first meeting I had with President Putin in St Petersburg I recognised someone who had the vision and the imagination to set the past aside and build new relationships for the future and I think that is very important.

	President Putin?
		As was apparent in the December parliamentary elections, national television is controlled by intertwined oligarchic and government interests, while the largest newspapers are the playthings of competing tycoons with enormous influence in the Kremlin.
		Indeed, last August the unknown Putin was appointed prime minister because he was considered a loyal praetorian successor who would guarantee their property and protect them from retribution.
		For now, however, we are witnessing in Putin's rise the emergence of an ironhanded leader who, by exploiting Russians' desire for law and order, has struck a sympathetic chord among millions sick of the corruption of the past years.

	Putin endorses Bush - Salon
		Russian President Vladimir Putin waded into the American election campaign in support of George W. Bush Monday, declaring that if the president lost, it would lead to the "spread of terrorism" around the world.
		The president argued that Kerry failed to understand the changed world after Sept. 11, clinging to the "mirage of security" that prevailed in the 1990s.
		Since he declared after a first meeting with Putin that he had been able to look into his soul, relations between the two men have been close, and they have portrayed each other as allies in the war on terror.

		The timing of Mr Putin's comments, after a meeting with the German chancellor, was unlikely to be a coincidence - the message would not go unheeded, our correspondent adds.

		However, Mr Putin said, when European companies invest abroad they call it "investment and globalisation", but when Russians go abroad, it is seen as expansion.

		Although described by the President as aiming to bring order rather than restrictions into the activities of NGOs, Amnesty International believes that the law instead undermines their work by giving the authorities increased powers of scrutiny of the funding and activities of Russian and foreign NGOs.

		The NGO law was the subject of substantive discussion, during which President Putin reiterated a commitment -- made earlier at a broader forum of NGOs from around the world entitled Civil G8 -- to review implementation of the legislation.

		Because there Russian President Vladimir Putin sits amid the ruins of a shattered empire, like a quadruple-amputee victim of a major car accident with the shards still lodged in the bleeding sides of his torso.
		The irony is that the "human rights" activists accuse the Russian president of harboring "antidemocratic" tendencies precisely because he is supported by the overwhelming majority of Russians, who would gladly elect him to a third and even a fourth term, just like the Americans supported
