freedom of press in Russia

Fri Jun 13 13:28:22 UTC 2008

It's (subject) manifestations are in the lease problems for  
Nezavisimaja gazeta: http://lenta.ru/news/2008/06/10/nomove/
and the ongoing saga of Natalia Morar' http://newtimes.ru/news/ 
2008-01-21/2008-01-21-9 and http://www.gazeta.ru/politics/ 
2008/02/28_a_2652336.shtml

There also stories of blogs erased, attacked and destroyed of some  
journalists.

And this is Moscow. Outside the metropolis things get rougher.

And of course journalists loose jobs for what they say on their blogs.
