What Russian newspaper says ( from " Watching America " )

I learned during the Cuban Missile Crisis - just a high school student back then - that you must LISTEN to all sides in these international conflicts. I find the web site " Watching America " most useful for this end. It publishes editorials from around the world on hot topics. Headline of Izvestia editorial ( a Russian  Old Guard newspaper ) :  "  Stalin would have put some fear in you, you asses (sic) " .
           This is all about President Obama's  reaction to the Ukraine crisis. "  President Obama who up until the Ukraine crisis has given the impression of a more or less poised gentleman has before our eyes turned into a smart ass hooligan "  .    Just pointing this out to the editors and readers of the Providence Journal.  I myself have never wavered from the international socialist perspective- which scorns all bloody patriotism and idiotic nationalism - Russian or American. Remember August 1914 and the horror of Verdun !
