		<title>A Great New Russian Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;d like to draw your attention to a great new Russia focused blog by Colleen Winthrop called Winthrop 360. There is sooooo much crap out there in the blogosphere about Russia today that it&#8217;s great to see some balance developing between the anti-Russian crowd (La Russophobe, Amsterdam, Applebaum, Lucas, et al) and the rest of [...]]]></description>

Roland Nash is a Managing Director at Renaissance Capital in Moscow. The analysis Roland offers below is the very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
You can imagine my surprise today when, while I was scanning through my RSS subscriptions in my Google Reader, I saw that La Russophobe had written an &#8220;Editorial&#8221; lambasting me and my opinions on Russia. I&#8217;m proud to say that I am now on the list of La Russophobe&#8217;s most hated Russophiles. What an honor.

		<title>Letter to Moscow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I just received another email from a friend of mine who works at a big Western NGO. My friend is quite bitter and jaded regarding Putin, in particular, and Russia, in general. Maybe it was the years he was stationed in the Balkans? I&#8217;m not sure. While I have given-up trying to change such Rossophobic [...]]]></description>

		<title>NATO should invite Russia to join</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As Bush and Putin meet one last time in Sochi, I wanted to share with you an excellent article from the Times Online that very nicely offers the Russian&#8217;s viewpoint to NATO over these past 8 years under Bush.
NATO continues to push eastward but says to Russia not to worry. It&#8217;s my own personal opinion [...]]]></description>

		<title>Probka (traffic) Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I can&#8217;t take it anymore. The traffic here in Krasnodar is bad but in Yubilaney, the traffic is mind-boggling. It takes me at least 45 minutes to travel 5 miles back and forth to work from my apartment each morning and evening.
It really doesn&#8217;t matter what time I leave. This morning, I was on the [...]]]></description>
