My night at the opera

Article Abstract:

British prime minister, Tony Blair, has visited Scotland and Russia. His visit to Scotland was more difficult since there is a new government and the ruling Labor party is not likely to perform well in elections in Ayr. Blair visited the opera with Russian acting president, Vladimir Putin. He delivered a message on Russia's behavior in Chechnya, where Blair believes that there may have been some abuse of human rights as a result of Russia's destroying Grozny and forcing that city's inhabitants to flee. This may not appear to be a strong enough responce, but then Blair is a skilled politician.
