The Moscow Times has this story about repressive ballot access laws in Russia. It is authored by Yelena Kotyonochkina, a former Moscow municipal deputy who now lives outside Russia.
The Moscow Times was formerly a print and on-line newspaper in Russia,, but it has been banned by the government and now is an on-line newspaper situated outside Russia.
Does it mention Kommiela was endorsed by Putin?
He was completely serious, too.
Russian history is interesting and tragic. Their current problems are all of their own making.
No, they’re all of the other nations making.
