NOTE:  LR Publisher Kim Zigfeld’s latest installment on the mighty Pajamas Media mother blog tells the story of Roman Dobrokhotov and his bold move to interrupt a fraudulent speech about the Russian Constitution by “President” Medvedev. It’s Kim’s 25th column on PJM, a milestone worth noting (the complete list appears in our header).  We follow up on Kim’s reporting with our own editorial (#2) urging those inside and outside Russia to take advantage of the Kremlin’s obvious weakness and stake out a claim for civil society.
