Russia - A State Of Hate?

Russia Goes on an Ugly Binge - Newsweek: International Editions - MSNBC.com: "Russia is becoming an increasingly scary place. Ask Marat Gelman, whose gallery made the mistake of hosting a show by a Georgian artist at a time when Georgians are the subject of official disapproval. Last week the gallery was wrecked by 10 masked men—'not vandals, nor hooligans from the street, but highly professional and experienced militants who came to do their job,' says Gelman, who was badly beaten. Or ask art historian and curator Aleksandr Panov, attacked (but not robbed) by thugs days after he publicly condemned the attack on Gelman."
