Russian Compendium

I just realized I had failed to do a compendium post, listing all of my various posts on Russia. Here is my series:

1) Colonization
2) Retro-Colonization
3) The Death of Russia
4) The New Feudalism
5) A Step to the Sidelines
6) Bottled Sunshine

The idea to bring this all together is thanks to Mythusmuge, and his post on Russia as a Dead Nation Walking.

Update: Cox and Forkum's take on Putin's Russia is spot on.
