Russia Can't Be Manipulated Through External Pressure The West's posturing in Sergei Magnitsky's case can add nothing of benefit to the investigation, for it needs to proceed without external political pressure if it is to have any lasting impact on the Russian justice system.

Ukraine: Why Culture Matters At its heart, Ukraine’s current crisis is neither political nor institutional, it is cultural. It is merely the latest manifestation of the failure to resolve conflicting visions of Ukrainian identity. The long-term solution must also be cultural--accepting that there can be many cultural identities within one national identity.

Were Russia to be acknowledged as an essential part of Europe, and its incorporation become part of the EU’s strategic vision, Ukraine’s identity crisis would all but disappear. The whole of Ukraine could simply be what it already is—part of both Eastern and Western Europe.

Alas, these reports are based on quotes that have been egregiously mistranslated, or simply invented. The result is a narrative in which Russia and the Orthodox church are both "lost in translation."

Yet it is precisely the Church's claim that its social vision has relevance for a modern Russia that its most arch critics cannot tolerate, and which makes this an epic struggle for the soul of modern Russia.

That, at the moment, is the presidency, and in due course, a new parliament. If Poroshenko is going to be successful, he will have to save the original concept of the Maidan from the Western Ukrainian nationalists and broaden it to make it a truly Ukrainian national idea.

The Sum of All Our Fears Russia's cultural threat explains the West’s hostility to Putin. By making Russia stronger he has actually delayed the value changes the country “ needs.” The Western approach to Russia is therefore a paradox: as Russia becomes economically and politically stronger, and is therefore able to better integrate into Western institutions, it is more actively prevented from doing so because of ostensible differences in values.
