It was during the 2008 presidential primaries.
It was the year Medvedjev became President. The year everybody hoped the era of Putin was over.

See their behavior last year RE: Panama Papers....
And let me just say it's a goddamned travesty how the left and right treated the Panama Papers once they realized there was no Hillary Clinton dirt in them...

Assange used the WikiLeaks Twitter account to attack the 2016 Panama Papers leaks, which disclosed a $2 billion overseas account of Vladimir Putins. Assange labeled the leak a US-sponsored plot to undermine Putin and Russia.

It was pathetic watching all those self-styled "transparency" bros instantly go into "nothing to see here" -mode when it came out that Putin was the biggest name involved in all this... We are surrounded by traitors and scum on the left.
