Putin then undid much of what Yeltsin had accomplished - for example, a tolerance (usually) of a free press - and began to construct a Russia that is stronger, more sure of itself...

Even our general practice physicians - who don't do procedures like surgeons do - are fast changing from prescribing docs to "medical distributors": farming out the problems they find to specialists.
