THE MOMENT OF PLAIN TRUTH IN RUSSIA
Frank Words on the War in Chechnya and the Spread of New Religions

Brutal candor is dangerous for a writer, especially when dealing with
subjects as sensitive and multi-faceted as war and religion. In two
articles this week, commentators give stark factual assessments of two
controversies in Russia often twisted by ideologues committed to one
of the many sides.

1.Vengeance and Profit Drive the Chechen War.

2. Russians Experiment Rather Than Commit Themselves to Cult Leaders.
