Putin's language/funny programme

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear Psy Ling,

Thank you for your reference.

According to Verbitskaya's recent assessment of the state of Russian  
language today in public sphere, Putin's language is much more  
sophisticated than that of Chernomyrdin. See her interview here:

With best wishes,
Alexandra
