Did Condé Nast Kill the Story of the Year to Appease Putin?
Is it so unreasonable for a Russian government agency to seek keeping confidential an anti-terrorist training operation – the manner of which might’ve been based on intelligence information regarding possible terrorist acts?
That’s a distraction from the issue that Putin has the power to initiate a public investigation into the ’99 apt bombing. He’s a FSB guy and certainly knows where to sniff out the skeletons. But, like every high profile murderous mishap or botched rescue in Russia whether is was Beslin, the Moscow theater or Anna Politskaya’s murder nothing is ever honestly investigated or resolved.
Politskaya’s family not being dupes had denounced the second trial of her alleged assailants knowing full well that the investigation in the first trial was a sham. They understand that the real culprit is much farther up the food chain. The second trail has been put on hold.
I noticed that you have hit most of the Kremlin themed talking points.
