Putin and Medvedev: “Together we shall win!” I took this picture on Sunday, March 2, at Okhotnyi Ryad; the ad is posted on what used to be Hotel Moskva. Now, could someone please explain something to me. I’ve always thought that it was illegal to keep this kind of election campaign ads up until the [...]

I’ve just finished a GV translation of the Russophone reactions to Kosovo – here. An earlier roundup of the English-language reactions (along with 20 or so comments) – here. *** AP’s Mike Eckel has done a piece on the Russian blogosphere (a somewhat truncated copy – here), and below is my very sketchy supplement to [...]

I rarely watch TV now, but today I’ve spent about half an hour glued to Vesti Nedeli on RTR (Rossiya TV Channel). It’s a gorgeous show, a great example of how perverted journalism has become here. Too bad I can’t find any video to support my claim. They’ve got partial transcripts of all their items [...]
