Почитал тут намедни о похоронах Манделы (и скандалах вокруг этого, типо фальшивого сурдопереводчика :), там, кстати, забавное видео по ссылке).
А у Сапожника в блоге наткнулся на упоминание, что Путин-де опять не посетил очередные похороны видной личности.
Ну так и украинский Янукович тоже не поехал, и чо? ;)

Вот приведу тут списочек ВСЕХ мировых лидеров, присутствовавших на похоронах Манделы.
Можете просмотреть бегло - очень и очень интересный контингент собрался в одном месте и в одно время.
Список взят отсюда и там есть перечень многих тоже очень известных личностей, типо Опры Винфри, Боно, сэр Ричард Бренсон и пр.
Обратите внимание на лидеров "почти вражеских анти-демократических" государств (типо Кубы, Венесуэлы) и полное отсутствие товарищей из постСССР.
