We note another resignation today, that of Vladislav Surkov, the deputy prime minister of Russia. Happy face or frown face? I don't know face.

On the one hand: called the pro-reform, anti-Putin demonstrators "our best people." :)
     Was "reassigned" for this :)
On the other hand: was the architect of Poot-poot's authoritarian "sovereign democracy" structure which the demonstrators were protesting against. :(
Was publicly reprimanded by Poot-poot for not imementing all of Poot's orders. :)
Criticized Russian investigators for going soft on the finances of...I don't know.

I don't know, man. Russian politics is byzantine.
