So, Mr Lukes, Putin being right wing AND communist is not so far-fetched.

Back in the day, the only way to gain power was through politics, and there was only one political party. That's why such decent, right-minded people as Vladimir Putin and Slobodan Milosevic are tarred with the shameful brush of having once been Communists. Mr. Putin is more of a capitalistic semi-fascist, not some damn leftie.
