Kremlin-Approved News in the U.K.
Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the Russian government’s very own mouthpiece newspaper, has purchased itself a nice big supplement section in the British newspaper the Telegraph called “Russia Now.” (This supplement has been running for quite a long time, Andy at Siberian Light informs us. My bad!) So far I’ve read some carefully worded pieces on the “cautious expectations” of U.S.-Russia relations, Medvedev’s “readiness” to hear complaints on human rights, and the scary events in Moldova (but they couldn’t help but lob a few attacks at Natalia Morar – whose investigative reports at the New Times led to her exile).
