Thunderbirds Are Go!
Russia's Strong Man Speaks Out

I heard on the news earlier today that Russian Prime Minister - Valdimir Putin - is to give a 'no-holds-barred' interview.

One that will grapple with the real issues facing his great country - instead of being a puff or a put-up job organised by United Russia and the PM's fan club.

I'll believe it when I see it - for example, will experienced journalists from outside of  Russia be allowed to take part - in the great event?

If not - then expect a series of questions along the following lines:

1 What's the capital of Russia?

2 Do you like spicy food?

3 Who is your favourite Russian oligarch?

4 Are you in favour of world peace - and a kinder, gentler form of capitalism?

5 Is Boris Yeltsin really a good dancer?

6 Have you missed being Russia's President and how big a majority do you expect in next year's election?

7 Do you think you will be an even better President when you are elected for a third term of office?

Remember - you heard it hear first.

And if I die from radioactive polonium poisoning in the next few months - then draw your own conclusions.
