Another murder in Russia
Anna Politkovskaya, a journalist critical of the Putin government.
I disagree with a lot of EU Referendum's coverage of Russia, but they are right about this -- the country is falling under rule by thuggery and intimidation. Having cast off Communism, the Russian people deserved better than this.
Russia's best hope now is something like the Orange Revolution. What Ukrainians did, Russians can do too. Let's hope it happens soon.

Indeed, "sexy" or not, we need to keep talkiing about -- and with -- the Russians. Russia is still very powerful. Its government will continue to be a threat to its neighbors until its people decide once and for all that they would rather join the world than build a fortress against it.

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
