nemesiis:If People were charged with felony. Then you need to look up for what you have to do before you are charged with felony. They were not charged just for protesting against a sitting president as we see in Russia. If you hi jack a protest and you start physically attacking people that don’t share your view or destroying public property or resorting to looting in the course of your protest, that’s committing felony. So not because they were protesting. People protest everyday. I mean everyday in the US. From one man protest holding a placard while standing at major road junctions showing his placard to motorists passing by to crowd gathering on the streets protesting so far the don’t resort to violence. No police disperses them. Police will only escort them to make sure it’s peaceful and not hijacked by rugs. That’s what a civil society does. People protest here everyday even over or stuff. Yes it’s there right. No one go about arresting them. But in Russia, you dire not abuse Putin. That’s a recipe for arrest. You know how many times people abuse Trump? |

So ZIL eventually lost out. Soviet leaders were transported in ZIL limousines since the era of Josef Stalin. Stalin gave a ZIL limousine to Chairman Mao of China and the Chinese took it apart, reversed engineered it and it became the inspiration for the Chinese Red Flag limousine. A ZIL limousine once held the Guinness World Record for the largest car in the world. The ZIL-41047, which was produced from 1985 - 2002, was the last ZIL limousine to serve as the Russian number one state car. Gorbachev used it during his famous summits with Ronald Reagan. President Boris Yeltsin preferred Mercedes Benz S Class cars to ZIL limousines and the S Class became the number one state car in Russia. However, ZIL cars were still used for some state occasions, e.g. the defence minister was driven in an open top ZIL during national day parades. The ZIL company tried to entice President Putin into using a ZIL as his official car by making a brand new purpose built limousine for him in 2013. However, Putin didn't really like the car. The new car is called the ZIL-4112. 1) ZIL 41047 (1985-2002) 2) 41047 3) 41047 4) ZIL-4112 (2012) 2 Likes 2 Shares

The ZIL and the Lincoln Continental. The two most powerful men in the world met in a series of ground breaking summits in 1985 and 1986. That was when the friendship between President Ronald Reagan of the United States and Mikhail Gorbachev of the Soviet Union began. I remember the Reykjavik summit in 1986 and I was fascinated by the presidential limousines. Of course both countries flew their respective presidential limousines to Iceland. The footage I saw back then showed Reagan arriving the meeting point in his Lincoln Continental as his Secret Service bodyguards walked beside the limo. Then Gorby arrived in his ZIL 41047 with his KGB bodyguards walking beside the limo. Gorby left the meeting point first and then Reagan left (his Secret Service guards were running beside the limo). Unfortunately the footage of the Reykjavik Summit that I found on YouTube does not have a clear shot of the moment when both leaders left the meeting point (it looks like the cameraman was hiding from the Secret Service and KGB), so I am first going to post a video of their series of meetings in Geneva in 1985. You can clearly see the limousines in that video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qOGj0iQ5hw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIOOt2T8JZ4 |
