How the Modern Russia is Organized

[Alina Israeli]

Latynina's article is only one of the versions as to why the site was  
attacked. The editor Muratov himself never raised it as the reason:  
http://www.echo.msk.ru/programs/personalno/651125-echo/. Another (and  
I think more powerful reason) is their position on the demolition of  
the township "Rechnik". Any text if it appeared in cyberspace cannot  
easily be erased or totally disappear, there is cache, there are  
other servers, other sites, somebody will "reprint" it and repost it.  
But the newspaper that day after day documents the actions of the  
government (throwing people out of their homes at night in -20°C and  
demolishing the houses) is a dangerous site.
