I apologise. I was unaware that there was a paucity of critical material condemning Putin and the Russians - in fact, to me it seems as if 99.99% of the articles, posts, blogs and other material posted about Putin and Russia is critical of those things you have listed.

I see my job as being to make the case for the other side. Precisely because I have yet to read any article about Putin or Russia that contains any balance, any positive info, any praise or even a neutral analysis of Putin and/or Russia. It is all "Putler" and Russians as evil Nazis, subhumans and cockroaches.

My goal is to provide an alternative view.

I do not feel I need to point out any "negative" or "critical" aspects or attributes of either Putin or Russia, because I am 100% certain that all of my readers are basically awash in such articles and videos and op-eds shouting about the crimes and sins of Putin and Russia 24/7.

They do not need more of it from me.

If this is NOT the case, if indeed there is a "niche" for articles that are critical of Putin and/or Russia, because there is simply too many gushing puff pieces about dear Vladimir out there, then please elucidate.
