About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Kasparov talked about Putin and Putin's fascist coalition. He sees the cracks forming, but still worries about his own security. The irony is that the only way to get his word out is through US and European TV. He is tired of the state-run media, understandably.

Russian internet is unregulated and underappreciated by Russians. So although you are right about the TV comment, it's not entirely "that way"--i.e. Russian politicians can only be heard in America. It's just a matter of making internet more savvy and accessible in Russia.
