TODAY: Algeria accuses Russia of trying to sell it “substandard” aircraft; Russian Nationalists oppose Medvedev; further harsh words traded over Kosovo; UK press speculates over Russia’s past and future. One UK paper today debates the future of Russia, predicting that Vladimir Putin, as prime minister, will remain the architect of foreign and security policy, and that Medvedev will be left with a “somewhat humiliating role”. Russian Nationalists, meanwhile, oppose the idea of Medvedev’s leadership because they believe he is an “ethnic Jew”. The leader of a Russian ultranationalist youth group has been sentenced to three years in prison for yelling “Sieg heil” and “Kill the liberals” during a political debate.
