Russian elections are an attempt by Putin to cover up what a trash person he is, says Frida Ghitis. Ghitis: Since we're talking about the Oscars, and so that the world he threatens to destroy has a better idea of who he really is, one idea would be to make a movie about him.
The actor who took on the role would have an immense challenge, Ghitis says. But to be a candidate for the Oscars next year the key would be the verisimilitude of the central character, she says.
