Yeah. Funny, in Russian radical newspapers, I've seen both 'he's the
nice pro-white-Aryan-ultimate-Slavic guy, bash the bad guys!' and 'he's
the racist awful stick-at-nothing anti-Russian moron - the evil is in
the east, huh, and the Blessed Realm is beyond the sea in the west -
that's where he's got his money from, bash him!'.
