MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday accused U.S. diplomats of interfering in Russian politics by supporting opposition demonstrators, a day before a planned protest march in Moscow.

Putin's complaint came in remarks in which he criticised U.S. actions ranging from the treatment of Native Americans to the dropping of the atom bomb on Hiroshima, but said Russia and the United States had common interests and should cooperate.
