Russian novice steals spotlight

the Post has a nice story about Anton Chumachenko, an aspiring small time politician in St Petersburg, who has raised issues about his own election and the apparent fraud that gave him the seat he won. this dude obviously has big brass balls and a sharp mind. he just catapulted himself into the national spotlight at 26, gave himself credibility as an honest player, and discredited the United Russia Party's leaders (Putin), while asserting that the party seeks truth and the rule of law. i would venture to say that this guy is going somewhere, either the Kremlin or Siberia. i hope its the former.
