In the same manner Russians probably don't know who Stalin is.

Under the wise leadership of Vova Putin they are off to the middle ages.<br /><br />This week alone they made it illegal to "punish feelings of the faithful" and to distribute information about homosexuality.<br /><br />BTW, did you know that recently they outlawed Memorial?
