After a short hiatus, Russia Blog's staff is back at work. We apologize for a few days without new posts. Please read today and tomorrow's posts for more interesting information about Russia.

Also, next week Russia Blog will mail out our document "Ten Western Media Stereotypes about Russia - How Truthful Are They?" Please let us know if you are interested or you know anyone who would be interested in receiving a copy. Please e-mail your name and address to yuri@discovery.org

Thank you for reading the Russia Blog!

Have a great weekend!
Yuri
