NOTE: A good deal of our content today comes from Russians. Supporting our editorial about Russia’s hostility to the natural world is a story from a Russian reporter published in the San Francisco Chronicle. Then there’s a second, from the Washington Post, exposing Russia’s sham democracy. Finally, the wild boys over at English Russia offer you some photographic insight into the “real” nature of neo-Soviet Russia, no different at all from the old USSR (except that not even at its worst moment did the USSR allow itself to be ruled for so long by the KGB). Just goes to prove what we’ve always said: Putin hasn’t shot down all the good Russians, not all the true patriots. Not yet.
NOTE: Ever wonder what sort of psychopath a Westerner would have to be to consider moving to neo-Soviet Russia these days? This is the kind.
