Global Voices reports that the Russian blogosphere is agog over the news that European governments, en masse, are turning against Russian tourists. They are "shocked, shocked" to learn that Europe doesn't much care to be infiltrated by people who have freely chosen to be governed by a manical KGB spy who, among other things, has attempted coup d'etats in both Ukraine and Georgia. Russians apparently think the whole world should view Stalin as being sweet and cudly just like they do.

And their response, of course, is classic Russian indignation. Not the slightest thought that maybe, just maybe, they need to change one or two things. Russia, it seems, is crazy drunk with oil revenues and getting good and ready for the final implosion.
