Quote of the day
“English fans need to know that if they try to mess with Ukrainian women then we will try to mess with them. The sex industry exploits women who are so poor and often uneducated. That is why we are going to try to attack every match.”
Inna Shevchenko, a member of Femen, the women's group that stages topless protests against men who come to Ukraine for sex tourism.

Ukraine’s European integration is like a box of assorted chocolates: you never know what filling each chocolate has. In Ukraine’s case, it is what is inside the country that’s a big mystery. Mar 31, 2010 at 17:37 | Maksym Ferenc |

More than any previous terrorist action in Russia, the attacks on the Moscow metro this week are playing out on the Internet, with official government sites competing with independent portals and blogs not only to provide timely information about what happened but to define its meaning for the future. And while these Internet battles may not yet have the impact of television on what Russians know and believe about what happened, they highlight the emergence of a new media space in which the powers that be cannot be as confident as they were in the past that they can control the situation.

Despite the enormous changes in the world since 1991, Moscow’s foreign policy has remained to this day “one of the least reformed and changed” spheres of Russian life, a reflection of continuity in the mindsets and often personalities of those who make it and an increasing threat to the country’s future, according to a Russian commentator.

In 1920, radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh began the first commercial broadcast in history. Ever since, major brands have been selling their wares by transmitting messages over wide audiences. It has been, and remains, the most powerful weapon in the marketing arsenal. One of the big benefits to the emergence of social media is that it brings that same opportunity to small businesses and even sole proprietorships. Social broadcast is not free, and it’s certainly not easy, but it can deliver impressive results. Mar 31, 2010 at 16:52 | Greg Satell |

Michael Averko writes: An October 13 RT (no longer officially known as Russia Today) segment discussed some international issues regarding Afghanistan and Russia. The following viewpoint is expressed in that segment: "When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan they were viewed as being hostile by everyone, while the US is really not viewed as an occupier. The Soviets were always viewed as an occupier." Read the story here. Mar 30, 2010 at 19:35 |

Reactions to the deadly bombing in the Moscow metro yesterday morning have been extremely predictable. Vladimir Putin has called for an even harsher campaign against terrorists. Dmitry Medvedev has called for a similar campaign but with respect for law. And others have speculated about who is to blame and how the powers that be will exploit it.

Alexander J. Motyl writes:As Ukraine's recently elected President Viktor Yanukovych prepares to visit Washington in April, he will aim to project an image of stability, confidence, and control. In reality, Mr. Yanukovych has committed a series of mistakes that could doom his presidency, scare off foreign investors, and thwart the country's modernization. Read the story here.

Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych symbolically selected Brussels as his first foreign visit upon taking the oath of office in what can only be seen as an exercise in public relations. The new government of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov headed straight for Moscow shortly thereafter with the sole intention of cutting a deal. Contrary to expectations, the new Pro-Russian leaders in Kyiv appear to have been more warmly received farther afield. Read the story here. Mar 29, 2010 at 15:04 |

NEW YORK – Both in the course of the Ukrainian elections and following the victory of Viktor Yanukovich, Russian commentators have discussed what kind of a Ukraine Russia needs, commentaries that have not only implied that only Ukraine needs to change but also have defined how many analysts elsewhere see the issue.

The future, to borrow a phrase, ain’t what it used to be. When Marshal McLuhan predicted that electronic media would create a Global Village, he foresaw a new reality where old assumptions would no longer apply; barriers would be broken down and human creativity unleashed. It’s clear that he was on to something. Mar 29, 2010 at 12:21 | Greg Satell |

Andreas Umland writes: “Tushka” is the Russian word for the dead body of a small animal. During the last weeks, its plural form “tushki” has come into wide use, in Ukraine, as a metaphor for a number of former members of the parliamentary factions of the pro-Yushchenko party alliance Our Ukraine – People’s Self-Defense, and Bloc of Yulia Tymoshenko.

President Dmitry Medvedev’s visit to Kiev on May 17 and 18 is seven weeks away, but already rumors are circulating in both capitals that the new Ukrainian leadership will capitulate to the Kremlin on the most contentious issues. In Kiev, these rumors tend to come from opponents of President Viktor Yanukovych who are constantly trying to portray him as overly pro-Russian. In Moscow, the same rumors stress that Yanukovych leans toward Russia. The reality, however, is far more complex. Read the story here. Mar 29, 2010 at 03:34 |

NTV chief Vladimir Kulistikov took a well-aimed pot shot at Dmitry Medvedev during a live televised meeting between the president and the general directors of the country’s top three television stations on Dec. 24. Kulistikov said that while listening to Medvedev’s state-of-the-nation address in November, he had been struck by how many senior officials in the audience displayed an “amazing, complete indifference” to what Medvedev was saying. During the speech, Kulistikov said, some whispered among themselves, while others played with their cell phones. Read the story here. Mar 29, 2010 at 03:28 |

The negotiations took a lot longer and were more grueling than anyone expected, but the United States and Russia have finally agreed on a nuclear weapons agreement to replace the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. Although the deal makes only modest cuts in both countries’ arsenals, President Obama deserves credit for reviving an arms control process that his predecessor disparaged as a cold-war relic. He is now leading the way on reducing the nuclear threat. Mar 28, 2010 at 11:11 |
