Latvian SS commemoration
Has anyone else noticed how quiet the Kremlin propaganda machine has become as the March 16th anniversary approaches. I am writing on this for my online column this week but I have just come across this remarkable (to me) commentary on the normally vitriolic regnum.ru site, by Vlad Bogov, which gives a more-or-less balanced account of the issue. Has anyone else noticed this shift in Russian approach?
