(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 criticized 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. "Our diplomatic service does not cooperate actively with Occupy Wall Street, but your diplomatic service interacts actively with (Russian opposition figures) and directly supports them," Putin said, referring to the United States. "This is not right, because diplomatic services should be building relations between states and not getting involved in their internal political affairs," he told Russia's English-language state channel RT.
