Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s deputy blamed Google, the company behind the world’s number one Internet search engine, for stirring up trouble in the revolution that ousted Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak.

“Look what they have done in Egypt, those highly-placed managers of Google, what manipulations of the energy of the people took place there,” Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published today (22 February).
