Are there any more questions about who’s in charge? I think this says it all . . .

Matryoshka, Sean, is not just a simple wooden doll, as you know
The shows that the much-discussed theory that there are now two power centers in Russia is false. In fact, Russia has four loci of power — Medvedev, John Lennon, some anonymous Panda, and Pooh-Bear.
Note also that there is, in fact, no Putin doll, indicating the total defeat of the silovik clan by the liberals, Beatlemaniacs, and ursines.
The Kremlinologists among you can now discuss the seating arrangements of these four kingpins and what they mean for political developments in Russia.
I was hoping someone would provide an interpretation of this.
I think there is something to be said for the seemingly traditional matroshka that fat Pooh has clearly knocked over. Could the pushed out little knick-knack be the narod? And Pooh the Russian elite triumphant?
Clearly the sinister smile on Lennon indicates that he is either a Fifth Column in waiting or, since he was British, represents the British-Berezovsky tag team which sees a weak Medvedev as ripe for the toppling.
Kindly note that Lennon was assassinated. Many people think Litvinenko was assassinated. Coincidence? Don’t be naive. It is a clear BAB connection.
Fat Pooh is a bear. Thus, he is a clear stand in for Edinaya Rossiya. Kindly note also that he is gorging himself on honey — a yellow liquid, like molten gold. Oil, as we all know from the Beverly Hillbillies, is Black Gold. It is an easy deduction to make that this is a symbolic reference to Edinaya Rossiya’s chinovniki feasting on Russia’s oil exports.
One might at first suspect a link between the Panda Bear and the Pooh-Bear, given that they are both bears. However, the Panda is not a true bear, but an example of parallel evolution. Accordingly, I hypothesize that it represents China, and its presence near Medvedev and Pooh indicates an Eastern Turn on the part of the Russian foreign policy elite.

Yes, yes, yes! Hence Russia and China BOTH vetoing the UN-Mugabe thingy. Chris you are simply a geopolitical genius. Perhaps they can use you at the Hoover Institution or perhaps the Economist?
Of course there is another thing that’s been missed. Putin is really there. If the Dima matryoshka is like others, Putin is under him. A wolf in sheep’s clothing! That wily Putin is a sneaky one.
And Kremlinologists waste their time on who sits where in the Kremlin. Who would have known that all the answers are really found at Izmialovsky Park.
“Who would have known that all the answers are really found at Izmialovsky Park.”
Where and how do you think the Russian elite send each other secret signals? Careful doll arrangements. Note to MI6: rocks are totally passe.
Putin’s presence is manifest in his absence. It’s a pomo thing.
Also, I would like to draw your attention to what I think is a particurly salient detail.
Vladimir Putin.
Think about it.
POOH-tin.
”Note to MI6: rocks are totally passe.”
Now that was hilarious. Blair afterwards simply said ”the less said about that the better”
The rock thing was great. Not so much James Bond, and much more Inspector Gadget. (Where were the little girl and hyperintelligent dog when Britain needed them most? Shirkers.)
“Go-Go Gadget Secret Message Rock!”
It had to be said.
Honestly, people!
“Pootie-POOH”, get it?
How many times I told you: when you refuse to study and memorize Bush words, you wander in darkness and cluelessness.
“Chris you are simply a geopolitical genius. Perhaps they can use you at the Hoover Institution or perhaps the Economist?”….
Kindly note that it was ivanov who pointed out to the real meaning of matryoshka!
