BlogSpotting: The Corporate State
Robert Amsterdam: 2006 Marked by the Rise of the Corporate State
"As Andrei Illarionov pointed out during a speech at the Cato Institute last month, in the case of Yukos, these energy assets were transferred by illegal means not from one private owner to the people, but rather from one group of individuals to another group of individuals. It is absurd to pretend that this is a real nationalization when it is only a small group of private individuals within the government lining their pockets with the rents from these businesses."

BlogSpotting: Nashi and Brenton
Sean Guillory: Nashi's Anti-Brenton Campaign
"Nashi has become one of the populist means to intimidate those it has deemed enemies of Russia and Putin. Welcome to the Komsomol reincarnate."
Martin Kelly: Sack Brenton Now
"To those Russians standing outside the British Embassy on Moscow demanding that [Brenton] apologise, I apologise on his behalf; and hope in all sincerity that the thugs and thieves who have been given shelter in my name in my country will soon be returned to face your justice."
La Russophobe: Kremlin's Youth Cult On Rampage
"Foreign ministry officials privately agree that Nashi's behaviour is outrageous and goes well beyond peaceful protest. But they claim there is little they can do: Nashi is too close to the Kremlin. It has close ties with Vladislav Surkov, the deputy head of the Kremlin administration, as well as Mr Putin himself."
