Not Over Till It’s Over

So it’s a done deal – Vladimir Putin will be president of Russia for the next six years. The reactions on RuNet are predictable in substance and baffling in how personal, almost intimate, they are: despite first-hand accounts of falsifications pouring in from election observers, most agree that even though the numbers have been tweaked, Putin did get the majority of the vote.

That Much Obliged

With just two weeks to go before the Russian presidential election, renowned cultural figures, opinion-makers and trendsetters have been throwing their weight behind candidates in public statements made online.

Know Thy Limits

The hacking of private email accounts and the leaking of personal conversations online is old news on RuNet.

One Man’s Protest

NEW YORK/The protests against alleged election fraud currently sweeping across Russia also extend to the Russian diaspora, well beyond the country’s borders. Russians the world over took to the streets on February 4, albeit in much smaller numbers. The demonstration held across from the Russian Consulate in New York City drew only about a hundred people, but it had all the attributes of a real protest: the speeches, the music, the white ribbons and balloons, the slogans. It also drew those who have been personally wronged by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s regime, among them Pavel Khodorkovsky, the 26-year-old son of jailed former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Russia Profile Executive Editor Anna Arutiunova spoke to Pavel Khodorkovsky about the current political situation in the country and about its future prospects, to which the fate of his father is undeniably tied.

Of Paratroopers and Cognitive Dissonance

Ever since the opposition rallied on Bolotnaya Square and marched down Prospekt Sakharova, RuNet has been ablaze with intellectual (and, sometimes, hardly) discourse on the upcoming presidential elections and the country’s future.

Respect the Revolution

It is very easy, especially for someone who has been online 24/7 for the past two weeks, to fall into the trap of the collective excitement presently sweeping over the Russian-language Internet.

Boo’s the New Black

Some issues resonate with RuNet users more than others, but in the many years I’ve been watching this community few have elicited such a passionate response as Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s bungled trip to a sports event at Moscow’s Olimpiysky Stadium.
