Subject: OFF: government officially admits that the militsia is not professioanl?
This is definetely an OFF, but I found it amusing.

The whole beginning of the article kept me asking: Are you saying you think that they are not professional now? Is that really what you meant to imply?

Yes, editors are padantic nuisances. :)

in the same sense as when they say that Olympic champions are not professional sportsmen... it's 'people's militia', didn't you know? ))

even if they are confessing ... what's next? The system won't reform itself - just some populist declarations to imitate activity )))

цитата вырвана из контекста, но меня не удивит, если контекст, из которого она вырвана никак не прояснит смысл и основания для употребления слова "профессиональная"
