MOSCOW |
MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin warned against foreign meddling in Russian politics on Wednesday in his first state of the nation speech since returning for a new six-year term in the Kremlin in May.
Putin, who last year accused the United States of encouraging opposition protests and claimed foreign governments spend money to seek to influence elections, said Russians receiving money from abroad should be barred from politics.
"Direct or indirect meddling in our internal political process is unacceptable," Putin said.

In order to have politics there must be competing political parties.
Well, since the “collapse” of the USSR was a strategic ruse under the “Long-Range Policy” (the “new” strategy all Communist nations signed onto in 1960 to defeat the West), that means there’s only one party in town…the CPSU, and the CPSU has been playing only one game since 1960: The “Long-Range Policy”, nothing else.
