On photo: Scandalous photo of US President Bush with Russian war criminal Shamanov. After the publication of this photo the White House came up with an excuse of not being aware of accusations against that criminal.

  Gang leader of the Russian Defense Ministry's combat training directorate, Vladimir Shamanov, told the Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star) newspaper, "Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has decided to start making specific plans for the military training exercises in the Arctic in response to the statements by several foreign leaders who disputed Russia's claims on the Arctic continental shelf."
