	Russia: Answering terrorism with dictatorship \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Russia is a huge country, and many of its regions (Russia's equivalent to U.S. states) are homelands to distinct ethnic groups.
		The other half of Russia's deputies are currently elected nationwide, from lists submitted by political parties that win seats according to their share of the national votes (as long as it is over 5 percent).
		Several critics within and outside of Russia have noted that Putin's proposals to cancel gubernatorial elections and end election of individual deputies to the national legislature have little direct connection to fighting terrorism and smack of an opportunistic use of the terrorist attack as cover for a plan long in the making.

	Rethinking Russia's place in history, art and politics (11/98)
		Russia's leaders have made it "all but impossible" for the International Monetary Fund to reinstitute loans to that country, but the United States will continue with "patient" assistance to its former enemy, Strobe Talbott, deputy secretary of state, told a Stanford audience on Friday, Nov. 6.
		Primakov is the best leader for Russia at this time because he is the only one who can bridge the gap between nationalists and democrats, said Sergay Kortunov, who was deputy chief of staff of President Yeltsin's defense council until it was disbanded recently.
		In current histories of Russia as during the Soviet era, the Soviet period of 1917 to 1991 is treated as a "discrete block of time" with no connection to the imperial past or the war years that immediately preceded it.

	Tracking Nuclear Proliferation, 1998: Russia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Russia has occasionally stated that it had a capacity to dismantle about 2,000 nuclear weapons a year; it has at the same time reported that the rate of dismantlement was slowed down by the lack of suitable storage space for dismantled components.
		In June 1995, Russia agreed to allow the United States to monitor the operation of the three reactors and to monitor the plutonium separated from the spent fuel produced in these units—without, however, inspecting the reprocessing plants where the plutonium is separated.
		Russia has also joined the MTCR and the Wassenaar Arrangement, and it has recently ratified the CWC—thereby boosting confidence that cooperation in establishing common assumptions and ground rules for national export control laws and regulations, and their actual implementation, will proceed in the areas of advanced conventional arms and dual-use technologies, missiles, and chemical weapons.

		VLADIMIR, Russia -- Nikolai Bogdanov hobbled painfully down the dark, moldy corridor of the tuberculosis ward, through the thick clouds of cigarette smoke, past dozens of men in flannel shirts, jeans, and slippers, many of them with faces as gaunt and sallow as his own.
		Russia's rate of TB infection is more than 11 times that of the United States.
		Ex-convicts tend to fall through the cracks in Russia and are more likely to work as migrant laborers and become alcoholics or drug addicts, lifestyles that sap the immune system and create openings for illness.

	STAR: Religion in Russia
		There are roughly 17,500 religious groups in Russia where a highly controversial 1997 law requires that they be accepted and registered on the governmental list of authorized faiths by December 31, 2000.
		On the other hand, religious leaders, such as Patriarchs and Popes, are committed and bound to the ideal that their religion and church is the one true faith as mandated by Christ.
		Understanding that, they are compelled to consider other sects or traditions a threat; not so much as a threat to their power, but a threat to the innocent souls who may, in their opinion, fall victim to false prophets, promises and doctrine.

	The SVR Russia’s Intelligence Service
		Russia found itself in a situation in which even a realistic threat to its national interest would not be acted on because the country’s political chaos and economic situation would not allow it.
		The leaders of Russia’s special services might also be tempted to use Russia's criminal diaspora in some of their undertakings, especially against other criminals or religious or ethnic radicals based abroad.
		Russia will not threaten its neighbours with invasion, unless attacks on Russia are launched from their territories, but the next step of NATO enlargement would make the SVR and the GRU (military intelligence) more active in NATO and its candidate countries.

		Russia, which put up some ``obstacles'' to access of documents and hasn't signed a memorandum of understanding on their delivery, is cooperating, according to Michael Holtzman, spokesman for the panel named by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to probe allegations of corruption in the oil-for-food program.

		The old generation of leaders will evidently retain considerable influence - however, judging from information that has leaked from the informal annual meeting of the PRC's supreme leadership at the health resort of Beidaihe, the key positions are practically guaranteed to leaders of the "fourth generation" which Hu Jingtao and others belong to.
