#1 Curious how western press understands so much about Russian day to day problems. Extensive and detailed and so authoritarian. I suppose it is a diversion to viewing the rot in their backyard.

#8 P2K -- Normally I wouldn't use the Guardian to line a birdcage, but since there has been a lot of focus, for want of a better term, on Skid's posting of Daily Mail articles, today I undertook to post articles from a variety of different sources in different parts of the world. It was an interesting exercise. As always, salt to taste.
