Welcome to Russian Politics! A site directed at learning about one of the worlds most powerful nations. Russia holds a permanent seat on the UN Security Council but regardless, they are still often criticized as having 'Cold War Hangover'. The transition from a Communist state into democracy has not been a fast, bloodless or easy journey and they can expect to struggle with the 2014 Olympic Games exposing Russia publicly once again. There is a price to pay for freedom.

Please find attached some resources that if you follow will help further develop your blog.

(This is a New York Times article - from today, Monday, Jan 25, 2011. It contains on-going news stories and analysis, and if you look carefully a "Russia Navigator" with links to every site you could need that deals with Russia. There are links also to government resources (The Kremlin, Offical News Agency, etc.). And links to The Council on Foreign Relations, Harvard University's Kennedy School, etc. that deal with Russian politics.)

http://rt.com/
(This is from Reuters; it contains everything Russian - even blogs about Russia!)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/russia
(This too is an amazing site. It covers everything - the recent bomblast by female suicide bombers - possibly so-called Chechen rebels.)

...A mountain of material - all fascinating and useful - and containing that all-important analysis.
