Sam's Exchange: Crude News! Be Careful Not to Get Flashed.
Biweekly column by Sam Barden
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
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
“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.
Cross-Cultural Comparison of Russian and American Crime
Weekly column by Daniel Kalder
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
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.

RIA Novosti commentators Maria Selivanova and Marina Selina

Russian foreign policy: Focusing on Asia
FENENKO, Alexei
The new Russian president
will be confronted with complex tasks in the Asian Pacific Region. Moscow will
need to preserve good relations with China, find an economic counterbalance to
influential Chinese businesses in the Far East and expand its trade relations
with ASEAN. The main thing is to avoid having to choose between the US and China
amid mounting U.S.-China contradictions.Russia Profile

Arab League As An Anti-Arab Weapon
Elementary arithmetic routinely holds keys to much more complex political algebra. At the moment, for example, it appears that fairly simple regards explain the bizarre conduct of the Arab League which, contrary to reasonable expectations, aligned itself with the West in destabilizing Syria and keeping B. Assad under pressure.Iran-Caspian basin: the way to global project plot - еmbargo for the Iranian oil import
Oil embargo of the European Union on Iran: punishment with postponement - “War of nerves” in the Persian Gulf - Oil import embargo on Iran. There are a number of factors nowadays which demolish the War Conceptions, well-established from the Clausewitz times on.
