Hi,

With the emphasis in the news recently on heated scenarios in the Ukraine and Russia, this summary on The CI site came to my mind:
The Last Gasp of Empire: Russia's Attempts to Control the Media in the Former Soviet Republics

I was curious as to whether there is anyone in this group who has experience with or knowledge of the media scene in this region - from a journalistic ethics/media development perspective. If so, please share.
