[edit] Bias?
This article seems to be biased and in violation of Wikipedia's NPOV policy. It mentions (in one sentence) that the book has received many positive reviews, but doesn't bother to go into any detail about the substance of those positive reviews. It then devotes several times as much space to the negative reviews, including a lengthy block quotation. (And what a weird block quotation! I don't think a short encyclopedia article needs to devote this much space to a relatively minor point about Boris Yeltsin, given that Yeltsin is not the focus of the book.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.149.15 (talk) 18:42, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- don't be a paranoid. it just said that the critique only pointed out a part of the book, not the book as a whole. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.19.76.120 (talk) 19:20, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- I think "76.10.149.15" is confused about what unbiased means. Unbiased doesn't mean that you have to write just as much positive things as negative things. Nobody would do that about Charles Manson, for example. :) The book has had many positive reviews. The lacking detail of "substance" is probably because there isn't any. --Regebro (talk) 20:17, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
