[quote=EASTCHINASEA,476403]Marat Guelman, one of Russia’s most well-known art gallery operators, wrote in a blog on the Echo Mosky radio station website that the flight shows Putin “has lost faith in us. He sees our treachery, greed, cowardice and cruelty. There’s nothing to love in us anymore. Dolphins, cranes, horses — that’s a different thing.” Masha Gessen, author of a book critical of Putin, left her post as editor of the travel and science magazine Vokrug Sveta (Around the World) this week, claiming she was fired for refusing to send a reporter 3,500 kilometres northwest of Moscow to Yamal Peninsula to cover Putin’s flight with the cranes. A statement from the magazine Tuesday said she left by agreement with management because of “differences” on the separation of editorial and publishing powers. Vokrug Sveta works closely with the Russian Geographical Society, whose board of trustees is chaired by Putin. [/quote]
