The chief problem with his writing isn't even with the (admittedly far 
from flawless) language--it's the (lack of) structure and referencing. 
Those are universal things that one should learn in any high school in 
any country.

And I don't believe the slanderous tone is a linguistic faux pas, 
either. A Russian if anyone should know the implications of falsely 
accusing his involuntary bibliographee of having Marxist sympathies.

For whatever it's worth, English isn't my first language either. I don't 
like to lean on it as an excuse when I make myself look silly, nor do I 
have much sympathy to offer those who do.
