This came from an as-yet unidentified source and is a political, albeit a bit simplistic, entry about Russian (or more specifically Vladimir Putin's) policies in general.

There's not much to it hence this relatively short review but, if the person(s) responsible would like to be credited*, please contact me and I'll update.

* Unless, of course, you fear retribution from Putin's eagle-eyed internet spies?

You assume the role of President Putin sitting in his office one day deciding what to do. You have 5 options:

• Have a drink
• Ride a bear
• Invade a country
• Poison a whistleblower
• Imprison a political opponent

For each action you are presented with a brief message of congratulation and score a million points (for whatever you choose to do, as it happens.)

This effectively goes on indefinitely with no apparent goal or endgame in sight.

One nice touch, however, is the random news feed that you get at the bottom of the screen. Admittedly there's not much in the way of variation, however, at least it showed a bit of effort for an otherwise cheap entry.

I also quite like the use of yellow text on a red background which, as well as being an obvious reference to the classic USSR flag, is also very easy on the eye.

That's about all I can say on this, however, while I don't want to get too bogged down in the politics - can I suggest that the CSSCGC is probably not the most subversive or effective platform for affecting world change?
