A review of the results of Russia's December 4 parliamentary elections is impossible, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has said. “Any talks about reviewing the results of the elections are impossible, except one way, a court appeal,” Putin stated on Tuesday, RIA Novosti has reported. Putin rules out review of election results Putin’s comment was the first reaction to Saturday’s mass protest in Moscow, which organizers said gathered some 100,000 people. Police estimate, however, said that around 30,000 attended. The protesters said the parliamentary elections held in early December were irregular, and demanded new voting, as well as liberal reforms in Russia, reported the news agency. “As one of the candidates, I do not need fraud. I want to rely on the people’s will, trust. If there is no trust, there is no sense in working," said Putin, who will run for president in March. Addressing members of the All All Russia People’s Front, he said the opposition parties had no program that united them, or the leader at the helm, Tanjug news agency reported. "The problem is, they do not have one program or people who would be ready to do something concrete. The demonstrators are trying to undermine the legitimacy of the parliamentary elections," said the Russian premier, and promised "transparent presidential elections in March". RIA Novosti said that Russia’s ex-finance minister ,Alexei Kudrin, was quoted by the Russian media as saying that he had met Putin a day before the protest, and that the prime minister told him that "dialogue with opposition leaders was possible".

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
