"Undermining my electoral viability since 2001."

Revolution in Central Asia

Thanks to the magic of the internet, you can watch some relatively in-depth coverage from Russia Today:

Now, you can take it with a grain of salt — this is Putin-approved news, even though the tone is on par with CNN or the BBC — but the broad outline of events is consistent with other reports, and it's another data-point from a different perspective.

It's also interesting to see how Russia Today supports the change in power, and drops in that there may have been Latvian, Georgian or Chechen "mercinaries" involved in defending the ousted president and using deadly force against the protesters (near the end of the video). I dunno about Latvia, but Chechnya and Georgia are definitely on Vlad's shit list.
