Keep writing about Russia - the US is - um - fairly well covered in Eurotrib - as in the media in general. We get very little about Russia - except when it swats down a Georgian attack on South Ossetia. There was a sympathetic doc on Russia on BBC World recently - a rarity. I AM prepared - resignedly - to put up with your continued drooling over Putin :-)

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
