“Can a woman be president of Russia?”
“According to the constitution yes, but in reality no.”
“Why not?”
“Because Putin is not a woman.”

– Did you, for instance, see the comments from my reader who says he is a Communist which is why (according to him) he supports Putin? It is the same idea expressed by my college prof on Facebook. He is a member of the PCE since 1970 but is filled with praise for Putin. WTF???

Stephen Cohen for one in the Nation. Also Jacobin had a horrible article attacking Timothy Snyder and defending Stalin and Putin recently, particularly regarding Ukraine. The article is in the link below.
