Sam's Exchange: Crude News! Be Careful Not to Get Flashed.

Biweekly column by Sam Barden
Sam's Exchange: Crude News! Be Careful Not to Get Flashed. No, my column has not been moved to page 3 next to a topless model (despite my best efforts). When I say “crude news,” I mean crude oil news. And when I say “getting flashed,” I mean a flash crash in the oil price.

Deeper Than Oil: A History of Russia in Plastic Bags

Weekly column by Marc Bennetts
Deeper Than Oil: A History of Russia in Plastic Bags Plastic bags just aren’t as popular as they once were in Russia. I mean, don’t get me wrong, people still use them to haul their shopping home from the shops and killers still wrap body parts up in them for easy disposal before they get too smelly - but there just isn’t the aura of wonder about them there was in the 1990s.

Trendswatcher: Of lady-business and Soviet imagery

Weekly column by Natalia Antonova
Trendswatcher: Of lady-business and Soviet imagery “Happy International Women’s Day!” A huge billboard near Novy Arbat proclaimed. As per Soviet tradition, the text was superimposed on a hideous picture of pink flowers, showcasing the kind of nature photography that went out of style before I was born.

Weekly column by Daniel Kalder
Cross-Cultural Comparison of Russian and American Crime Sometimes I wonder if a nation’s crime, like its cuisine, can tell us something about its character. When I was first exposed to Russian crime in the 1990s in the Death Porn section of the eXile newspaper, it certainly seemed to have a unique flavor. There was a heavy emphasis on vodka, businessmen getting shot in the pod’yezd, provincial misery, child victims, corrupt cops, and lots of Really Stupid Criminals.

Why I Sympathize With Vladimir Putin

Weekly column by Fyodor Lukyanov
Why I Sympathize With Vladimir Putin On Sunday night, Vladimir Putin, with tears in his eyes, addressed his supporters after the preliminary election results were announced. His display of emotion is understandable – Russia’s top politician had to fight for this victory much harder than in past elections.
