  Mother Russia
The Russia of Hans-Jurgen Burkard's photographs--the Russia of post-Soviet chaos and wild protocapitalist excess--is an encyclopedia of immense contradictions.
Russia is also--Burkard captures this perfectly--a nation whose patience is inconceivable.
Russia in 1994 is a frontier between the past and the future, a nation that has known too many calamitous passages in the past and once again stands precariously close to the edge.

While China is doing all it can to curb its birth rate, in Russia deaths outstrip births and the UN has warned that its population could tumble by a third by 2050.

 ChessBase.com - Chess News - Karpov to to fight for Mother Russia
Former World Chess Champion Anatoly Karpov of Russia announced that he shall join the World Championship organized by FIDE starting 25th November at the Kremlin in Moscow.
Karpov states he wants to reclaim the title for "Mother Russia", but a fear of being stomped by the other two K's might also be a factor.
We suspect this was also a move by FIDE to poke 'renegades' Kasparov and Kramnik in the ribs, and Karpov has always gone to the highest bidder.

Despite Russia's lingering ties of traditional friendship with the Arab countries, its relations have completely lost their ideological underpinning and have gradually begun to lose their economic foundation as well.
True, Russia inherited the place of the Soviet Union as one of the two co-sponsors of the peace process and had an opportunity to work with all the parties to the conflict.
However, Russia's aversion to American military action in Iraq and its negative attitude toward the Bush administration's strategy of unilateral action as a whole, as well as to its concept of "regime change," have predetermined a certain cooling of the partnership.

The state of Saxony has applied for 200 kilos (440 pounds) of nuclear waste enriched by uranium to be flown, instead of transported by train, from the former East Germany back to Russia.
Saxony is seeking permission to fly nuclear waste back to Russia for reprocessing before the end of the year, the German environment ministry confirmed on Sunday.
Since mainly non-reactive uranium is being sent back, the dangers from radioactivity should be minimal, according to Helwig.

At all times, the author's trip is threatened by Russia's almost complete lack of amenities for tourism and by frequent document checkers.
I found that this echoed my journey, even today: Russia still does not have the kind of facilities for travel that might be found in a place like Guatemala or the Czech Republic, and it operates on a system of negotiated justice.
The choice of the Volga as a subject for a journey into the consciousness of Russia is also appropriate.

 BW Online | February 3, 2003 | Mother Russia at War with Herself
Part reformer, part ex-KGB agent and superpatriot, Putin presides over the new open-market culture fostered by Russia's embrace of global capitalism, yet is allowing the country's vast security apparatus to proceed unchecked.
Yet, post-Soviet Russia is still in the grip of the seemingly endless conflict in Chechnya, which energizes the government's antidemocratic bureaucratic culture.
This is not to underestimate a serious internal security threat, demonstrated horribly in October by the brief, bloody takeover by Chechen terrorists of a Moscow theater.
