I spent some time on La Russophobe this afternoon, and while much of the blog's content, on the governance, the civic life and the economy of today's Russia under Putin is at times shocking and depressing, the blog itself is a pretty impressive resource. To say it is anti-Putin is to define its raison d'être.
One of the weekend posts is a video titled "Russia, Perishing", made in 2006 by a journalist named Marcel Theroux for British TV, which documents some of the many and serious social pathologies plaguing modern Russia, from AIDS to alcoholism to apathy.
Even as Putin crushes political opposition and dissent, he is still credited by many people with a revival of the Russian economy. But a Financial Times article linked here demonstrates that even that credit is misplaced. Other entries deal with systemic official corruption and the torture colonies that have been revived under Putin. Like a bad wreck, it's hard to look away, but one focus of this blog also appears to be building and promoting the political opposition to the Putin government. One hopes they're watching what they eat.
