Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
Leonid Bershidsky: Even Russia’s soccer hooligans fear this song
It is rare when fans of opposing soccer teams agree about anything, but at a Euro 2016 qualifying match on Friday, the 10,000 supporters of the Ukraine and Belarus national squads united to sing. "La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, Putin khuilo," they chanted, likening Russian President Vladimir Putin to a penis. Many Russian soccer fans probably would like to sing it, too, but they don't - and that may explain why Russia isn't about to have a Ukraine-style revolution.
