Here is a really good website for those who want to keep up on what is going on in Russia these days. It is called The Moscow Times and it is locate at (surprise, surprise) www.themoscowtimes.com/

This is a solid online newspaper (well, it isn't paper if it is online...unless you print it out) and it provides valuable news and up to date daily info that is often not covered in the "regular" news in the United States or the UK.

Russia is a country that is making a comeback of sorts. After the fall of the USSR, Russia essentially slipped into economic chaos and internal corruption. These days, it is a nation that is awash in oil and natural gas wealth and it is looking to expand itself into a larger sphere of influence in the world. Whether it will be successful or not remains to be seen, but there is a lot of activity that comes out of Moscow and this is why The Moscow Times remains a valuable resource for those who want to keep up to date on th goings on in Russia.

Well worth bookmarking.
