A small step in the scheme of things but definitely one in the right direction.

MOSCOW, January 31 (RIA Novosti) - Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law Wednesday a bill prohibiting people with dual citizenship from occupying the posts of prime minister, deputy prime ministers or Federal ministers.

The Russian parliament's upper and lower houses passed the bill January 19 and 24, respectively.

The law limits the appointment of Russian citizens to the posts of prime minister, deputy prime ministers and Federal ministers who have residency permits or any other documents permitting them to reside in a foreign country.


The Western democracy of today is the forerunner of Marxism which without it would not be thinkable. It provides this world plague with the culture in which its germs can spread.
