Russia PM Vladimir Putin accuses US over poll protests


Breaking news
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of being behind protests over the results of Russia's parliamentary elections.
Mr Putin said US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "set the tone for some opposition activists".
She "gave them a signal, they heard this signal and started active work", he said.
International monitors have expressed concerns over the elections.
Mr Putin accused the protesters of acting "in accordance with a well-known scenario and in their own mercenary political interests".
He warned that those working for foreign governments to influence Russian politics would be held to account, according to the Associated Press.

I guess one could assume that the CIA were monitoring the elections very closely, however I doubt that Hillary Clinton and her administration would be behind the protests. We all know they had an influence over the events in Libya, especially with the "rebels", but this I'm not convinced is true.
