Click here to access an address by Vladimir Putin at the Valdai Discussion Club in Moscow and posted on Internationalist 360°. The description of the event is followed by his opening remarks in English. Examine carefully the first words of Putin's address (in English) which is followed by a video of the rest of his address where he addressed specific issues and by a question and answer period (in Russian, but simultaneously translated into English). I wish our country had such an insightful and articulate president who truly represented a leader and not a follower of orders from ruling (capitalist) class.
