Moscow rules
Some Russia-watchers are rather surprised that it was not only easier, but much more pleasant and rewarding, for foreigners to deal with Mr Gorbachev, when he was still (pretending to be?) a convinced communist, than it is to negotiate with Mr Putin, who is (pretending to be?) a fervent Christian and wholehearted supporter of the Moscow Patriarchate. This apparent paradox is no surprise to Keir Giles, who is more inclined to stress the continuity…
Ich kam, ich sah, ich werde schreiben’
Towards the end of 2014, Anne Hartmann published her ‘take’ on the German writer Lion Feuchtwanger (1884–1958) as a Stalinversteher, someone who (thought he) understood Stalin. This article appeared shortly after the Kremlin had added Crimea to its portfolio and Russian troops, with some local support, had initiated a military operation in parts of eastern Ukraine. It was not long before more attention was focused on a new brand of pro-Kremlin fe…

How federal is the Russian Federation, and how important were the sovety (councils) in Soviet Russia? Is the country still neo-Soviet or already in a post-Sov…

Censorship in Russia, 1991 and 2001
Censorship, a central means of control for the Soviet Communist Party, has proved difficult to break away from, despite its formal abolition even before the collapse of communist rule. The idea of freedom of information and of expression is not firmly grounded in Russian society, and the lamentable results of a liberal decade cause many to call for a return of censorship, even as economic problems put the regular press beyond the reach of the mas…
