Under the plan, hundreds of thousands of Putin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s young stormtroopers would patrol Russia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s streets and have the right to check people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s IDs. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The initiative to establish the Russian Militia Association (Vserossiiskaya Assotsiatsiya Druzhin, VAD) comes from Vasily Yakemenko, director of the Federal Agency on Youth Affairs (<\/em><em>Rosmolodezh<\/em><em>) and former leader of the Nashists. The organisation would be financed from the state budget and receive administrative support from Rosmolodezh. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Igor Kon<\/em><em>, psychologist and member of the Russian Academy of Education, expresses grave concern about the initiative. Such organisations are usually established specifically to carry out tasks given by those in power and those who are giving the orders, Mr Kon says. Controlling these rowdy youngsters may, however, be difficult, he warns. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theweek.com\/article\/index\/95644\/Displaying_Obama_shirtless\">Then again<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay.\u00c2\u00a0 Let&#8217;s play that &#8220;Hot or Not&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0thing with this thing.: \u00c2\u00a0 Hot&#8230; Or Not?
