  • [1] ... The use of four-letter words by Foreign Minister Lavrov in a telephone conversation with his British counterpart was an unheard of event even during the harshest periods of the Cold War in Stalin’s time. This is a very serious sign of the Kremlin’s indifference toward the West’s reaction to its moves. In fact, Lavrov was following the language used by Putin and Medvedev, who vied with each other, as reported by Novaya Gazeta, in using vulgar and obscene words to insult their foreign opponents.
  • [2] ... Putin bedient sich häufiger der Vulgärsprache Putin fiele - sofern die Äußerung halbwegs richtig wiedergeben ist - nicht zum ersten Mal aus der Rolle. Er bediente sich - vielleicht ein Überbleibsel aus der Zeit als Geheimdienstoffizier - bereits häufiger einer Vulgärsprache, die beim Militär und im Gefängnis gesprochen wird. Schon zu Beginn des zweiten Tschetschenienkriegs hatte Putin den Terroristen gedroht, er werde sie notfalls "auf dem Scheißhaus" kaltmachen. Einem französischen Journalisten, der auf einem EU-Russland-Gipfel 2002 nach der Behandlung von Moslems fragte, rief Putin, damals erst zwei Jahre im Amt zu: Er könne ja auch Moslem werden und sich dann in Moskau beschneiden lassen und zwar „so, dass nichts mehr nachwächst.“

  • [4] Mail Online - 14 Nov 2008 - " ... In an interview with the magazine Le Nouvel Observateur, Mr Levitte said it happened after Sarkozy told Putin the world would not accept Russia toppling Georgian leader Mikhail Saakashvili and installing a puppet government.

Mr Putin stormed: ‘I am going to hang Saakashvili by the b****.’

Mr Sarkozy responded: ‘Hang him?’ Putin said: ‘Why not? The Americans hanged Saddam Hussein.’

Mr Sarkozy replied: ‘Yes, but do you want to end up like Bush?’

Mr Putin was briefly lost for words before answering: ‘Ah, you have scored a point there.’ Mr Sarkozy’s advisers said later the exchange marked the moment that Mr Sarkozy persuaded Mr Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev to begin withdrawing troops from Georgia. ..." -- Elysander (talk) 16:57, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Elysander beat me to it, but I found another version of his link, this one not afraid to include the word Balls (I'm sure he meant football balls...) [5] -- Mariah-Yulia (talk) 18:54, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- :)) - original in nouvel observateur [6] - but seriously: Levitte confirms that Putin planned marching to Tiblisi and capturing S. before Sarkozy arrived Moscow. Til now this claim was denied by Moscow as Georgian lie. Elysander (talk) 21:38, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's surely a good example of Putinism! I'm rather busy IRL now so I don't have time to rewrite the article so feel free to add and rewrite as much as you want.
And yes, it does seem like Putin did plan to take Tbilisi. There sure were rumours about it while I was there. And I've heard that in Moscow there are rumours saying that it was Putin's friend Silvio Berlusconi that called Putin and persuaded him to stop the advance to Tbilisi. But so far I haven't seen that it any western media though. Närking (talk) 20:47, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just find out that there is sush a thing as Deletion review nomination, which is that-a-way. Since this article has been deleted it might get deleted right away after recreating and then this Deletion review nomination seems the best option. I must get to bed now before I become like Rusavia... :) -- Mariah-Yulia (talk) 02:54, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
