...Over six months have passed since the New Russian People’s Movement started its rebellion against the Medvedev government in Moscow, but in that short span of time the public perception of the Russian president has changed dramatically. Once thought of as a formidable figure, Medvedev has in recent weeks come to seem more like a punching bag not only for the insurgents but also for critics abroad. According to one independent Moscow journalist there is a faction within the Duma that wants Medvedev to resign as soon as possible to make way for a leader who can act more decisively to bring about a resolution to the conflict in Russia....

The world needs answers to the question of why so many innocent people were killed at Khabarovsk, and we’re not getting those answers either from Medvedev or from our own State Department. It’s high time somebody took the Kremlin to task for the massacre it perpetrated on Khabarovsk’s streets....

 

From the December 21st, 2010 broadcast of NBC Nightly News:

Russian president Dmitri Medvedev is blasting critics of his government’s handling of the recent battle between Russian regular troops and NRPM rebels at Khabarovsk, charging that any massacres committed against civilians in that city are the work of the insurgents and those who question his troops’ conduct are, in his words, "terrorist mouthpieces"....

From a commentary by American conservative author Ann Coulter published January 13th, 2011:

With so many bogus denials coming from the Kremlin about the massacres at Khabarovsk, I’m starting to think "Medvedev" must be Russian for "Pinocchio". Barry Bonds sounded more believable when he said he wasn’t using steroids. To anybody over the age of two who hasn’t had a concussion, it’s obvious that Medvedev had something to do with the massacres...even if he didn’t explicitly order the hit job, he was sure as hell cheering the killers on from the sidelines....
