Honestly, I have a lot of respect for Putin. He is a man who knows how to manipulate the populace to get what ever he desires. He used a national tragedy as an opportunity for a massive personal power grab. I think that old Machi would have a lot of respect for Putin too. That being said, if he was assinated tomorrow on the steps of the Duma by Duma members, my only thoughts would amount to "that is what you get when you try to grab too much power in an open fashion".
