was: freedom of the press

[anon at example.com]

One gets quite tired listening to all these Russia admirers for whom Russia is much more of an enigma than for any decent Russia hater.
Isn't Said's work on Orientalism known in Japan? I can only recommend it.
As to quoting Russian classics, I'd like to quote "someone else" (I.Guberman):

Davno pora, **ena mat',
Umom Rossiyu ponimat'.

Cheers,
