	SparkNotes: Anna Karenina: Themes, Motifs & Symbols
		In the Russia of Anna Karenina, a battle rages between the old patriarchal values sustaining the landowning aristocracy and the new, liberal—often called “libre penseur,” or freethinking, in the novel—values of the Westernizers.
		Reading Anna’s monologue, however, we see the liveliness and even humor that make her such a vivid individual in the novel, as when she interrupts her gloomy meditations to comment on the ridiculous name of the hairstylist Twitkin.
		Anna first makes her ill-fated acquaintance with Vronsky in a train station, and she sees the death of a railway worker after this meeting as a bad omen.

		Critics of Anna Politkovskaya's writing did complain, on occasion, that her gloom could be overbearing: She was one of those journalists who saw harbingers of catastrophe in every story.

	Anna Politkovskaya : Putin's Russia
		Putin in turn flew to Yekaterinburg to lay a foundation stone of a new factory Fedulev is involved with, and made it clear that this loyalty was reciprocated - excellent PR for Fedulev's continuing expansion of his criminal empire.
		Although post-Soviet Russia is, on the surface, supposed to be democratic with an independent judiciary, the reality is that the constitutional freedoms and safeguards are violated with the utmost cynicism.
		In her book 'Putin's Russia', between pages 145 and 193, Anna Politkovskaya used all her journalistic skills and honesty to detail a devastating indictment of people like Fedulev, Ovchinnikov, the provincial law chief Ivan Ovcharuk, and corrupt judges.

		For all sorts of reasons, the murder of Anna Politkovskaya does not have the potential to become anything like the Gongadze case was in Ukraine several years ago.
		But it was in Putin’s Russia that she was able to accuse the highest powers, including the president himself, of nothing short of criminal activity.

		There are, they say, two separate states: Russia and her capital city.' Moscow itself clearly regards Kamchatka and its submarines as too far away to be worth notice.
		The other is that the cataclysm that has engulfed Russia concerns us all; today's depraved and defeated Russia may be a greater danger to the world than the 'evil empire' of the past.

		For Putin, Russia's second post-Soviet leader and a former KGB official, the disappearance of the Soviet Union in 1991 was a tragedy that produced anarchy, corruption, instability and uncertainty.
		Russia's two houses of parliament, its independent media, regional governors, the prime minister's office, independent political parties and civil society — all are weaker today than they were in 2000, leaving the presidency as the country's sole meaningful center of decision-making.
		The dominant tone in 'Putin's Russia' is one of despair that echoes the Soviet era.
