My Way News - Riot police break up anti-Putin protest in Moscow
My Way News reports: "An attempt by Vladimir Putin's foes to protest his presidential election victory by occupying a Moscow square ended Monday with riot police quickly dispersing and detaining hundreds of demonstrators - a stark reminder of the challenges faced by Russia's opposition."

My Way News - Putin's return: Why It Matters
My Way News reports: "Yet although he was still effectively Russia's leader, his return to the presidency is more significant than simply switching titles [...] He could toughen Moscow's opposition to placing U.S. missile-shield systems in Europe, firm up Russia's resistance to international military intervention in foreign conflicts such as Syria and push for more Russian influence in former Soviet republics."

Comment: It matters because Putin is a man whose worldview was developed during the Cold War era and he sees the world in very conflictual and confrontational terms. His primary goal appears to be the renewal of Russian power in an attempt to reverse America's Cold War victory. He is a man with a grudge and a score to settle, and that makes him very dangerous.
