Russian Protest Movement: a Presentation
Yesterday I made a speech at Youth Involvement in Demonstrations and Riots conference in Tallinn. I talked about the recent history, present state of, and prospects for, the protest movement in Russia.
The presentation:

Though I am sure many have already read it, here is a link to an article of interest: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/06/business/06nocera.html?hp
Please contact me if I can be of any help. Thank you.

Are the thugs directly employed by the Russian Federation or are they acting independently?

Sam, I wish I knew who did that. The attack on Kashin was very unexpected and hardly explainable. He didn’t investigate corruption or business conflicts, had no connection with Chechnya or Caucasus–the most dangerous areas. He was writing about the opposition and the Kremlin, street protests, youth groups etc.
The one who did that was apparently quite sure that they’ll stay unpunished, but I don’t know who the hell it was. There are many possible versions, but none of them seems credible enough.

Mr. Medvedev knows the entire civilized world is watching closely. Let’s hope the investigation proceeds quickly, and prosecution of these thugs and their backers is forthcoming.
