And one of the few bright spots for most people in Togliatti in recent years was the creation of this newspaper -- which was a tough-minded, investigative newspaper exposing corruption and exposing organized crime.
But the problem here is not just that the journalists in Togliatti have been chilled, that they have been frightened and will no longer do investigative reporting, will no longer look critically -- or as critically as they ought to -- on the government.
I mean, Russia and Togliatti in particular have a very high crime rate.

The most important factor was the caliber of play and the challenge it represented for me. When I arrived in Russia at age 32, I decided to change my position to a butterfly style, which I thought would improve my performance.
When I moved to Russia, I decided that until the end of my hockey career (no matter how many years I had left), I would try to get better than I had ever been before.
