Is Putin afraid of the Caucasus?
Russian lawmakers have given preliminary approval to a law to allow governors to be appointed in the country’s 83 regions, reversing last year’s move to restore direct elections. As Daniil Kotsyubinsky reports, this issue is unimportant in itself, but it exposes the regime’s soft underbelly, unrest in the Caucasus.

Would democratic change in Russia transform its foreign policy?
The incompatibility of an anachronistic and arbitrary regime with the modern world is leading many to consider that democratic change is possible — likely even — in Russia. But those expecting that a new ‘democratic’ government would somehow take a softer line on foreign policy should think again, says Ivan Krastev.

На прошлой неделе в Москве выпал снег, потом его убрали, а он опять выпал! Потом все растаяло, а вчера ночью все вдруг замерзло и Москва превратилась в огромный каток. В общем, обычная русская зима, непредсказуемая, снежная и очень красивая. Люблю такую погоду. Сегодня прогуляемся по Москве и посмотрим на снег, лед и тех, кто это все убирает - http://zyalt.livejournal.com/719239.html
