Tainting Russia's image

Alexander Osakovsky of Russia's Unicredit Bank was on Bloomberg today saying that the terrorist bombing Moscow's Domodedovo airport was aimed at tarnishing Russia's image. After the recent Khodorkovskii verdict, the death of Sergei Magnitskii in jail after 11-odd months, but prior to the filing of any charges, and the siloviki generally running roughshod over any reasonable idea of rule of law since... oh, I don't know, the calling of the Varangians (i.e., the begining of Russian history), I think it's hard to tarnish Russia's image.  So I wouldn't worry my pretty little head about that.
