U.S. uses double standards over protests: Russia - by Oleg Shchedrov
The Kremlin accused Washington on Tuesday of double standards in criticizing police action against demonstrators who denounce parliamentary elections as skewed to strengthen President Vladimir Putin's grip on power. The Kremlin spokesman said the Western reaction to the protests contrasted sharply with the mild criticism voiced by Washington when police in ex-Soviet Georgia, a U.S. ally, used tear gas and truncheons to break up an opposition rally. "Such a practice of applying double standards does not look satisfactory to say the least," Peskov said.
