Speakers against the motion:
* Edward Lucas: Central and Eastern Europe correspondent for the The Economist and author of The New Cold War: How the Kremlin Menaces Both Russia and the West (2008).

This used to be elsewhere on the internet but it seems to have disappeared. Anne Applebaum quotes it in her (excellent) NYRB of the Wajda Katyn film, and I have mentioned it both in the Economist and in the New Cold War
The commentary (in the middle) is not on the RG website, but the other 2 articles are. They say that article content varies depending on place and time of publication, but the full text is accessible to fully-paid subscribers. Whatever that means. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. So they buried the unpleasant commentary. What is the significance of it all in the great scheme of things?

Bene Merito award
Without my foreknowledge, I was last year awarded the Bene Merito medal of the Polish Foreign Ministry. Although enormously honoured by this, I have sadly decided that I cannot accept it as it might give rise to at least the appearance of a conflict of interest in my coverage of Poland.
"The New Cold War", first published in February 2008, is now available in a revised and updated edition with a foreword by Norman Davies. It has been translated into more than 15 foreign languages.
I am married to Cristina Odone and have three children. Johnny (1993, Estonia) Hugo (1995, Vienna) and Isabel (2003, London)
