An interview with Mark Ames which accounts his time as a journalist in Yeltsin's Russia.
Comments
Anyone who thinks Putin is conniving, ruthless, and both willing and able to use dirty tricks to advance his position will find much to reinforce their opinions in this interview. Who knows who he is really working for, himself, the Devil, or possibly even for his country? I would guess two out of three of those possibilities.
Anyone who thinks that the U.S.A. by way of its political and economic leaders play, and have played in the past, a cleaner game versus Russia or for that matter, any other country, might be disillusioned or at least given some food for thought. Any judgment a listener will make of course depends largely on the credibility given to the interviewee. I know little about Mark Ames, mostly from Wikipedia, but I am a fan of the reporting of his onetime Russia reporting partner at “The Exile”, Matt Taibbi. Ames’ account has, to me, the ring of truth. What he says has a great bearing on the outrage over alleged interference by Putin or his regime in our recent election.
I cannot get a proper link to post. The interview is at “The Empire Files” and is first out. Titled, “Post Soviet Russia, Made in the U.S.A.”.
