Russia on CNN

[Alina Israeli]

The format of web sites of TV channels is not the same as of news  
outlets. Meanwhile CNN had a week long profile on Russia, some of the  
stories could be seen on the web site http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/ 
2007/eyeonrussia/

And if you click on "Resurgent Russia" there is a video story on  
Vorkuta (http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2007/06/25/ 
chance.russia.vorkuta.cnn) which could be added to Ben's course on  
the cities (together with Norilsk, both well represented on  
youtube.com).
