There has been much comment in the West on the release of Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Pussy Riot duo Nadeshda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina.
The Pussy Riot members had served penal sentences in prisons on the Volga and Siberia.
While Vladimir Putin denies jailing people for political reasons it does seem Russian currently sends political 'offenders' to jail.
But can the West throw too many stones?
Surely as long as Bradley Manning, now Chelsea Manning, is in jail in the US, Julian Assange holed up in Ecuador's embassy in London and Edward Snowden in exile in Moscow, the West is being cynical in pointing the finger at Russia.

The West is fundamentalist and has no shame. Totally hypocritical.
