Hi there, and thanks for doing this.

I've noticed you sit among the harsher critics of Putin, but I was wondering what did you think of Yeltsin? Also, you write a lot about how Putin's foreign and domestic policies are more aggressive, but I'd be most interested in fundamentally why you think that is?

Absolutely desperate for the Foreign Analysis internship, but the last time I've seen it advertised was in 2007. Does it still run? And what kind of applicants would you be looking for degree- and experience-wise, BA or MA or else?

Can absolutely agree with this. I subscribe to lots of Russian news outlets, not just for the translated information, but because reading them and trying, passively, to figure out the meaning has improved my understanding, pronunciation, and reading speed greatly.

Fascinating, thankyou.

Sadly not, foreign policy is my alley. Fortunately I live with two Economist subscribers, so it's not too difficult to get hold of a copy.
