Stalin's ghost patrols the streets of Moscow

Article Abstract:

The authorities in Moscow, Russia, are using ordinary people as part of their anti-terrorism measures following two bomb attacks on apartment buildings. Many Muscovites have volunteered to be appointed 'senior resident' of the apartment building in which they live. They will take on responsibility for the security of the building, watching who comes in and out and informing the police of any suspicious developments. In some cases, this arrangement is being exploited to target foreigners.

Roadside girls of Russia sell sex for 2.50 pounds sterling

Article Abstract:

Domoslavi is a village in Russia where women have resorted to prostitution to earn a living. The business is controlled by the mafia, with the police taking part of the proceeds. There is little work in the region, which lies to the north of the city of Tver. There are landscapes which could attract tourists if there were infrastructure, but tourists can also go to Scandinavia, which also has beautiful landscapes, and they can enjoy a higher level of comfort and service there.

Russia acts to fight rise in Nazism

Article Abstract:

The Russian government is considering legislation that would make the Nazi symbols, videos and literature currently being sold openly in Moscow, Russia, and other cities illegal. Some Russians are purchasing Fascist literature merely out of curiosity, but others have become heavily involved in the ideology of hate. Russia is proving receptive to a Slavic form of neo-Fascism as life remains very difficult for the vast majority of ordinary people.
