Quick note: The expanded essay is found by clicking on the May 2006 issue link early in the italiczed introduction.
Both the expanded essay and this initial summary broach some very interesting issues about the clash of big business, government, and philanthropic organizations in Russia. The Western press generally depicts the erosion of individual civil liberties, or stifling of the press, and so this was an angle I hadn't considered before. Particularly interesting to me was the contusion of a desire to fund, even after tax breaks were removed, bundled with mixed messages from the government. How this issue plays out will be indicative of a number of other questions as Russia navigates her place in the world, both literally and figuratively, and I was glad to see it treated completely, though not exhaustively, in this essay.
