It's that time when I evaluate the blog so far. So a few thoughts are in order. Firstly, you've been consistent about posting, which is really important. Well done! And in your last post, you've begun to respond to my questions - for example, about the video you posted. You didn't respond to my question about "graft". By posting "comments" on your posts, I'm trying to get you to think more deeply and widely about Russian life, and of course politics - to enter into a conversation as it were. As you post, you need to analyze what your posting in greater detail: demonstrate more fully what and that you are learning about Russia and its politics - becoming a little bit of an expert on the subject.
By now you should be reading about Russia along with blogging. Dig out interesting articles. Make a trip to Chapters. Find people who are writing about Russia; are there any experts you've overlooked who are writing about this great and vast country? Could you get more use out of your BBC profile link? Lots of food for thought?
I'm not sure the HCC adds anything to the blog. It's only connection to the blog would be that it's director is from the former Soviet Union, but most people wouldn't know that. What about something else, more relevant? The choice is yours. Is there anything else that you could add to the blog that might help your readers to engage more fully with Russia.
Stick at it Elise. Onwards and upwards as they say.
