...was in fact a Chabad rabbi, and Chabad is -- absolutely disgustingly -- hand-in-glove with the Putin regime, using Putin's support and muscle in its attempt to assert control over Russian/ex-Soviet Jewish communities. Note that as soon as Yanukovych fled he backtracked, no doubt because he noticed that he was temporarily cut off from big daddy.

So one has to pay attention to where the alarms are coming from. If they're coming from Chabad, you're hearing Russian regime propaganda.
