“This story could have started a thousand ways.
With a name, for example.
Vladislav Surkov.
This gentleman works in the presidential administration. The Kremlin has full confidence in him.
They listen to him.
In 2005.
in an internal circular letter
Mr. Surkov wrote verbatim:
"The enemies of the state are divided into two categories:
