The Power Vertical Feed

December 04, 2014 01:29 GMT

In this space, I will regularly comment on events in Russia, repost content and tweets I find interesting and informative, and shamelessly promote myself (and others whose work I like). The traditional Power Vertical Blog remains for larger and more developed items. The Podcast, of course, will continue to appear every Friday. I hope you find the new Power Vertical Feed to be a useful resource and welcome your feedback.

I'm live-blogging Vladimir Putin's state-of-the-nation address to parliament and to key Russian political, religious, and other figures.

Putin says it's important that Crimean Tatars feel a part of Russian Federation...

But Crimean Tatars only constitute a part of the people who live in Crimea. "Squatting" is not a good practice.

Putin: Iran has shown "very great flexibility" in negoatiations with global powers on its nuclear program.

Putin: I have no [government] officials in my close circle. They are colleagues, but I'm not close to any of them and I'm not going to be. I understood that a long time ago.

13:54 18.12.2014

Putin asked about Sechin's salary. Says he doesn't know.

Another hard-hitting question
