Half a decade after a series of “colored revolutions” toppled
Moscow-backed rulers across the former Soviet Union and replaced them
with pro-Western ones, the Kremlin seems to be finally getting its
payback. Already this year Russia can count two scalps—Ukraine’s Viktor
Yushchenko and Kyrgyzstan’s Kurmanbek Bakiyev, both ousted by
challengers friendlier to Moscow. While it would be a stretch to say
that Russia was the sole architect and puppet master of Ukraine’s
February presidential election and Kyrgyzstan’s messy coup in April,
the country certainly played a key role. It sheltered and supported
Kyrgyz opposition leaders and made it clear to Ukrainian voters that a
victory for Viktor Yanukovych would usher in a new era of cheap gas and
increased trade. Moreover, this year’s strategic victories have
inspired the Kremlin to encourage further regime change in what
Russians still call their “near abroad.”

Ignace Reiss, Leon Trotsky, Stepan Bandera, Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev,
Alexander Litvinenko (these are political refugees from Russia, killed
by KGB terrorists in the West - KC)....
They are very different political figures, with different biographies.
But they have something in common in their death - all these people
were strong enemies of the KGB and the Kremlin. They were killed by the
KGB, although they lived outside Russia. Killed with ice axes and
polonium, hydrocyanic acid and explosives ...

Sandra Kalniete, the former Latvian ambassador to the United Nations, UNESCO and France, writing on Prague Post (hat tip: Robert Amsterdam):
While Russia has always played a significant role
in Europe, relations took a new dimension after European Union
expansion. Not only because the EU’s border extended substantially
eastward, but also because the 10 new member states have a unique
relationship with Russia from a long and often forced coexistence. Now,
Western Europe has access to expertise based not only on theoretical
assumptions but practical experience. This advantage, if used properly,
could benefit the entire EU and contribute to a sound and effective
plan of cooperation with Russia.
