Russia Demographic Update VII
EDIT: This article has been translated into Russian at Inosmi.ru (Российская демография: развенчивая мифы).

Time To Shove Off! And What Then?…
If I had a cent for every Russia story from the past week that featured the (conclusively debunked) “sixth wave of emigration” meme… And if wishes were fishes. Still, the coverage of Russian reactions to Putin’s return does demonstrate the … Continue reading

The Russophobes Were Right… (About The Wrong Country)
After peaking in 2007 at the height of its oil boom, the Russian economy slid off the rails, with GDP collapsing by 25% from peak to trough. Attempts to stem the decline by arresting pessimistic economists failed. Its image as … Continue reading

TRANSLATION: How Russian Liberals Create Russophobe Myths
EDIT: This article has been (re-!) translated into Russian at Inosmi.ru (Как российские либералы создают русофобские мифы). Do you remember the growing chorus of voices in the Western media speaking of a “growing wave” of emigration from Putin’s Russia? Those … Continue reading

Russia’s Brain Drain Abates, Just As Western Media Starts Hyping It
Everything’s going badly in Russia. Medvedev’s reforms are failing. The economy isn’t growing. It is moving from authoritarianism to totalitarianism (in stark contrast to civilized Western countries), and the motto “We cannot live like this any longer!” once again becomes … Continue reading

Interview with Mark Chapman (The Kremlin Stooge)
Next in our line of Watching the Russia Watchers interviews is Mark Chapman, the fiery Canadian sailor who’s been blazing a path of destruction through the fetid Russophobe ranks since July 2010. That was when he first set up The Kremlin Stooge, … Continue reading

Russia Demographic Update VI
As we’re now approaching mid-2011, I suppose its time to give my traditional update on Russia’s demography. So here’s the lay-down: 1. In February, I predicted a population decline of c. 50,000 in 2010 (after a 23,000 rise in 2009). … Continue reading

How NOT To Be A Whistleblower In Russia: The Case Of Yevgeny Starshov
In 2009, the UK was rocked by lurid revelations about MP’s expenses: home renovations, expensive meals and holidays, and even apartments fraudulently claimed by Parliamentary deputies.

National Comparisons: The People
The second part of my series comparing Russia, Britain, and the US focuses on the people themselves. What are their strengths and foibles? How do they vary by class, region, race, and religion? How do they view each other and … Continue reading
