Putin friend Edward Lozansky is fulminating about having Kirsan admitted to the US in November as a special exception to the Dept. of the Treasury sanctions that bar him from travel to the US.

Lozansky has been described as a “Neo-Soviet Bagman,”  
[larussophobe.wordpress.com/2007 … et-bagman/](https://larussophobe.wordpress.com/2007/05/24/editorial-edward-lozansky-neo-soviet-bagman/)

and a “Putin bootlicker.”
