    Anna Politkovskaya

    • October 18, 2006

    Aside from the tragedy and horror of Anna Politkovskaya's assassination, it is sad and depressing, though not unexpected, to witness how little reaction her murder has caused in Russia. In today's Russia idealism and direct challenges to the government authorities are scarcely regarded as virtues.

    The Alliance of TV Moguls and Kremlin Elite

    • September 26, 2006
    • Washington Post Blog

    In Russia the state has been tightening control over media ever since president Putin came to power.

Yet, although some of the Kremlin’s moves seem clear and reasonable, others can scarcely be described as rational or forward-looking.

    Putin's "Sovereign Democracy"

    • July 15, 2006
    • Washington Post

    The Russian government has resorted to police practices strongly reminiscent of those used some three decades ago in the Soviet Union. Putin wants recognition of Russia's leading position on the world scene and respect for its economic and geopolitical interests. But he demands that it be recognized as is, not at the cost of softening his increasingly authoritarian policies.
