  On March 18 a vote for Vladimir Potemkin is a vote for a very secure little village in the mind of a certain large and deeply entrenched security group.

As happened after accusations that Russia was responsible for the 2006 murder in London by radioactive poisoning of another intelligence turncoat, Alexander V. Litvinenko, the downing of a Malaysian passenger aircraft over Ukraine in 2014 and meddling in America’s 2016 presidential election, officials and state news media outlets in Moscow responded with a barrage of denials and mockery to the latest outrage.  They have scoffed at the idea Russia could possibly have had any role in the attack on Mr. Skripal and even suggested that the whole episode might have been fabricated.  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/14/world/europe/skripal-putin-poisoning-russia.html
