Moscow complains about campaign against Russian speakers in Ukraine while waging a far more sweeping one against Ukrainian speakers in Russia, Yatsenyuk says

Moscow complains about campaign against Russian speakers in Ukraine while waging a far more sweeping one against Ukrainian speakers in Russia, Yatsenyuk says

But in making that claim, Lavrov and those who follow him ignore the fact that in the Russian Federation itself, there are approximately four million Ukrainians. But there, “there is not a single full-scale Ukrainian school; there are no Ukrainian language newspapers, radio, television, theaters or universities.” Yatsenyuk’s words are important because they call attention to a sad fact of life –…

Newly-elected Russian Duma likely to be the last one way or another, Yakovenko says

Newly-elected Russian Duma likely to be the last one way or another, Yakovenko says

There are two reasons for thinking that the new State Duma (Russian parliament) will be the last, Igor Yakovenko says. On the one hand, it or more precisely elections to it mean that what has become “a fifth wheel” in the Putin system nonetheless can stress the system, something the Kremlin would like to avoid in the future. And on the other hand, the Yezhednevny zhurnal commentator continues,…

For Russia’s rulers, war now a defining ‘principle of reality,’ Pavlovsky says

For Russia’s rulers, war now a defining ‘principle of reality,’ Pavlovsky says

For the 30 years of the existence of the Russian Federation, the Kremlin has increasingly gotten involved in unnecessary wars because such conflicts distract attention from its failures elsewhere and obscure the low quality of the government’s management generally, Gleb Pavlovsky says. The Russian commentator points out that with increasing regularity, the Kremlin creates a crisis that it…

Prisons central to Putin regime and films of torture in them a major political problem

Prisons central to Putin regime and films of torture in them a major political problem

Prisons and even their reputation for brutality are an important support for the Putin regime because Russians do not want to risk falling into them and thus are more willing to go along with what the regime wants. But for that threat to work, it must be implicit rather than explicit lest it provoke protests. That is what makes the films of rape and torture in Russian prisons so dangerous for the…

Russia returning to Sovietism not because of the dictatorship but because most Russians like it, Vitukhnovskaya says

Russia returning to Sovietism not because of the dictatorship but because most Russians like it, Vitukhnovskaya says

The passive aggressive nature of a significant portion of Russian society is the reason that the country has become increasingly Soviet again, Alina Vitukhnovskaya says. The dictatorship is not primarily to blame; instead, the country is moving in the direction the population wants whatever it thinks it prefers. Such a society is “the only one in the world where these failures can feel themselves…

Russian opposition shows it doesn’t understand situation, Pastukhov says

Russian opposition shows it doesn’t understand situation, Pastukhov says

Since the recent Russian Duma election, some members of the Russian opposition have tied themselves in knots with a discussion of whether electronic voting played a positive or negative role in the outcome. But such discussions completely miss the point, Vladimir Pastukhov says. This wasn’t an honest election, and arguing about aspects of its dishonesty is a fool’s errand. Electronic voting, the…
