| − | :For reference, see here: [[Talk:Main_Page/Archive_index/240#Digression_on_CIA_regime_change_operations_in_Russia]]. Basically, the CIA's regime change operations through [[USAID]], the [[National Endowment for Democracy]], and the [[Open Society Foundations]] illegal operations in Russia and throughout the world are all modeled on [[Comintern]] and Soviet foreign activities from 1921 to 1991, the final collapse of the USSR. The objective being to subvert and overthrow existing regimes. If Putin censors so-called "independent media" that can be found to receive funding from a US or any foreign entity with the objective of influencing or interfering in its domestic political affairs, the government of Russia or any other government has its own sovereign, legal; authority to shut it down. Spewing over and over again, "Putin censors critics" is nothing more than US/Communist propaganda, intended to undermine legitimate institutions.
