&gt;The Russian people deserve to know when their privacy is so seriously threatened by an unaccountable foreign intelligence organisation<p>As one of these Russian people, I&#x27;m more threatened by my own, completely unaccountable, government that does everything in its power to severely restrict rights and freedoms of our people.<p>Also I&#x27;m pretty sure Putin had way more interesting things to do than read this letter.

<i>Thanks to Edward Snowden, we know that the NSA spied on then-President Dmitry Medvedev during his visit to Britain for the G20 summit in London in 2009.</i><p>I am <i>shocked</i>, <i>shocked</i> I tell you!, that the NSA would spy on the leader of a foreign country.

Getting tried of this theatre. (Great casting, btw, and congrats for having so effectively mapped out the psychological buttons of the subject classes.)

Wouldn&#x27;t it make more sense to have written the letter in Russian? (and link a translation for the rest of the world).
