There is now so much bullshit written about Russia in the Western press (see sidebar for list of these anti-Russian writers) those of us who actually have a clue about the real situation in Russia have simply thrown-up our hands and said, “What evaaah!”
So, thank God for the eXile website. The eXile not only has a sense of humor but it has been here (Russia) since the beginning. The writers at the eXile pull no punches and tell it as it is. The eXile is to Russia today what Rolling Stone magazine was to America in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s - Fresh, edgy, funny, intelligent, and honest.
Here is a great article on The Economist’s coverage of Russia. If you have any interest in Russia and understanding it’s development, read this article. It’s a bit long but well worth the effort. Here it is:
The Economist: The World’s Sleaziest Magazine
If only it was a question of overrated wit. But it’s much worse. It’s a sinister and sophisticated English snowjob. Considering their (The Economist) influence and their influential readership, not to mention where they’re leading us with their anti-Russia campaign, it’s time to set the record straight, to put the “s” back in “limey” and call The Economist for the slimey fucks that they are, before they drag us all down with them again, just as they did with Iraq.
