Now that a tearful Mr Putin has fixed it so he is charge he no longer has to be nice to the demonstrators.

It seems the demonstrations will carry on but I can see the military being called in to clear the streets and a few shots being fired.

He's certainly not going to take any lessons from the West so it could go **** up.

What do you reckon?

He was fairly straightforward LAST week when he said that they would tolerate no interfence from the west in their INTERNAL politics.........

The signs are all there, then.

Its not like it was in the old days when the slightest uprising would be quashed and very little information would get out.

They can't control completely what comes out of Russia so if the demonstrations continue and the miltary use force, Putin will receive worldwide condemnation - I doubt even the commie chums across the border in China will give a "well done comrade" for running over a bunch of students with tanks (hardly went down a storm for them did it?)

Think even China would like to distance itself from that sordid affair.

The country is more likely to implode than anything else.
