Forwarded message from a friend:
'The Russian Union of Journalists' lease on the building they've rented (for
the last ?20 years, at the very least) is being ended and the premises
wholly handed over to Russia Today, the overseas TV propaganda channel
Putin's team set up. If this all goes through it also puts GDF and CJES out
on the street.
Igor Yakovenko was particularly singled out as having provoked this
reaction from the authorities, due to his constant protection and
sponsorship of opposition and critical gatherings at the Union's premises
on Zubovsky Boulevard.'
Best Wishes,
Robert Chandler
