Russian police seize 100,000 anti-Putin books | Russian police have reportedly seized 100,000 copies
of a book critical of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin that activists planned to hand out at the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum. According to The
Telegraph, copies of 'Putin: The Results. 10 Years on', written by opposition
politicians Boris Nemtsov and Vladimir Milov were "intended for participants of
the forum", starting Thursday. Olga Kurnosova, head of the city's branch of the
opposition United Civic Front, was quoted as saying: "The reasons for the seizure
"are not very clear." The book, which has a total print-run of one million copies,
aims to "tell the truth about the real results of the leadership of Putin and
the tandem", Mr Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister, wrote in his blog on
Monday. Putin is still viewed as Russia's strongest political figure in a power
tandem with his ally President Dmitry Medvedev. |
