By Vasilina Vasilyeva, Armen Khanbabyan The Moscow News Moscow could deny Kosovo a chance at independence by initiating a series of referendums in the unrecognized post-Soviet states Russian: Доказательство от противного President Vladimir Putin's statement, which stated in effect that if the international community recognizes Kosovo independence, Russia would regard this as a universal approach toward resolving outstanding conflicts in the post-Soviet area, gave the unrecognized FSU states a breath of hope.
