The new PM, by the way, was hand picked by the current PM, Vladimir Putin. Putin, for all intents and purposes, will still be the ruler of Russia.
Russia is edging ever closer to its Cold War days, in regards to dictatorial government.
Has anyone seen my copy of Animal Farm? I think I know a Dobby-the-Elf looking guy who could use a refresher.
Publisher's Description: "Animal Farm" is the most famous by far of all twentieth-century political allegories. Its account of a group of barnyard animals who revolt against their vicious human master, only to submit to a tyranny erected by their own kind, can fairly be said to have become a universal drama. Orwell is one of the very few modern satirists comparable to Jonathan Swift in power, artistry, and moral authority; in animal farm his spare prose and the logic of his dark comedy brilliantly highlight his stark message. Taking as his starting point the betrayed promise of the Russian Revolution, Orwell lays out a vision that, in its bitter wisdom, gives us the clearest understanding we possess of the possible consequences of our social and political acts.
