In the comment to the Lawyer Slayings post, Ruslan wrote that I am writing on very delicate topics, and he is wondering about my status in Russia.

Well, right now I am in America and that is why I feel like saying things that are true and are happening in Russia. I am very happy that I have readers from Russia, because many people in Russia have mixed feelings about talking on these delicate topics. I am hoping that this website is a source of information for those in Russia, who are tired of RTR Vesti, Izvestia, and so on.

On the other hand, there are many American businesses that are going into the country; I believe they should be aware of the current state of events, before they make a mistake, or assume that they are in just another European country. Russia is not dangerous for most people and is not totalitarian, and one can make very good profit and conduct a successful short-term(!) business in this country, IF he has a clear understanding of what is around him, and as along as he has a Russian he can trust. It is always safer to be a foreign businessman in Russia instead of being local.

Answering Ruslan's concern, I am glad that he noticed that this website is writing about events that other Russian-news outlets do not like to talk about. Thank you.
