United Russia Steals Votes, And The WSJ Steals Others’ Work
On December 28th, the WSJ published an article on “Russia’s Dubious Election” by Gregory White and Rob Barry (it’s behind a paywall, but you can read it here). In it they described the most famous argument for the 15% Club (i.e., … Continue reading

Kremlin Oligarch Brutally Censors Long-Suffering Russian Media (From Printing Gratuitous Profanities)

A Quick Note On Russia’s Duma Elections 2011

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

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
