Dear colleagues,
Just to let you know about the disturbing news from St Petersburg
regards a new wave of censorship.... You could find several reports
regarding the weekly newsaper Novyj Peterburg published in the last
two days here:
http://www.newspb.org/
The latest issue was stopped by the local authorities and the editor
Nikolai Adrushchenko has been arrested; the office has been searched,
many items were taken away, including computers and discs, etc. The
latest issue was meant to contain an article on Putin's critics and
Marsh nesoglasnykh; G. Kasparov's essay and Adrushchenko's article
criticising Putin's policies...
All best,
Alexandra
