Time Magazine yearly announces its "Person of the Year" so La Russophobe thought it might be a good idea to initiate this tradition for Russia. Who do you think was the most important force in Russian current events in the year 2006? Remember, this is not an award for doing good things, Hitler got Time's award one year, it's about who influenced Russia the most, for good or ill, during the past year.
