Brian, are you sure you are not talking about 'kreschen' or 'krescheni' (baptized) Tatars?

> It is not entirely inappropriate: in Italy there is the crime of 'vilipendio', i.e. insulting the dignity of the President of the Republic (as well as, inter alia, certain state institutions and religious confessions). In so far as it relates to the President this law is rarely, if ever, applied, though one argument that I have seen for retaining it is that the Head of State lacks other legal remedies against defamation.

> But I wonder if by concentrating on the Putin/Medvedev painting we are not missing the point. The police action followed a complaint by Vitalij Milonov, who is one the main initiators of the laws relating to the propaganda of non-traditional sexual orientations and who is likely to have taken as much, if not more offence at the way he was depicted . Mocking Milonov and his counterpart in the State Duma, Elena Mizulina, has become something of a national sport recently: even Al'fred Kokh, whom some may remember for his role in helping to dismember NTV in 2001, has got himself involved. This is fine, except that the deputies are fighting back, and there may be further action to come from the various law enforcement agencies.

> Considering the punishment any comparison of Putin with an elected leader elsewhere is inappropriate. The Russian law is equal to lèse-majesté (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A8se-majest%C3%A9<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%25C3%25A8se-majest%25C3%25A9>), which only four out of 10 European monarchies still have on the books, hence Putin should be compared to a monarch, preferably of Asian variety.

> Subject: Reminder: Call for Contributors, Critical Insights, Russia's Golden Age
>
> Critical Insights is a multi-volume series that offers original
> introductory criticism on key authors, works, and themes in literature that
> are addressed in core reading lists at the undergraduate level. The quality
> of scholarship and the level of analysis for this series are designed to
> provide the best and most well-rounded overviews of the authors, works, and
> themes covered. Each volume is peer edited by a scholar in the field. The
> result is a collection of authoritative, in-depth scholarship suitable for
> students and teachers alike. All chapters are written as original material
> and include an MLA-styled “Works Cited” section and bibliography.
> Previously published by Salem Press, the series is now being overseen by Grey
> House Publishing <http://www.greyhouse.com/>.
>
> The editor of a new Critical Insights volume on Russia's Golden Age seeks
> contributors to write one of the following topics (this list has been
> updated since the earlier e-mail announcement on SEELANGS):
>
> Romanticism, Poetry, and the Superfluous Man
> Alexander Pushkin
> The Natural School and Russian Realism
> Lev Tolstoy
> 19th Century Women Authors
> Music, Art, and Theater
> Anton Chekhov
>
> Final drafts of chapters of approximately 5,000 words will be due on or
> around October 15th, 2013. Note that the content of this volume is more
> introductory and canonical, rather than concerned with new approaches or
> perspectives.
>
> The editor is also seeking authors for 3 introductory critical context
> chapters of 5,000 words each. These chapters are broader in their scope,
> and address, respectively, a chapter devoted to comparison and contrast
> (pertaining to Russia's Golden Age either in comparison and contrast with
> other periods of Russian literature or with other periods of literature in
> other regions of the world); a critical reception chapter and a critical
> lens chapter. The latter two chapters offer the opportunity to discuss
> theoretical and political issues relevant to Russian literature in this
> period.
>
> To be considered as a contributor, please send a short abstract of a
> proposed chapter on one of the above topics and a brief CV via e-mail
> by *September
