 | | The arrest of Russia's wealthiest businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky on charges of fraud and corruption in relation to the large-scale privatizations organized under then-President Yeltsin has caused many foreign investors to worry about the stability of the Russian economy. | | | Russia has an extensive coastline of over 37,000 kilometres (23,000 mi) along the Arctic and Pacific Oceans, as well as more or less inland seas such as the Baltic, Black and Caspian seas. | | | However, his initiatives provoked strong resentment amongst conservative elements of the government, and an unsuccessful military coup that attempted to remove Gorbachev from power instead led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. |

| | Russia had barred Jews from the empire in 1742 and viewed them as an alien population. | | | Thus, in June 1762 a German princess who had no legitimate claim to the Russian throne became Catherine II, empress of Russia. | | | Peter changed the rules of succession to the throne after he killed his own son, Aleksey, who had opposed his father's reforms and served as a rallying figure for antireform groups. |

| | As in Ukraine, Georgia and Belarus -- where Moscow backed a fraudulent referendum in October that made its client president-for-life -- Russia can be expected to use slush funds, intimidation, fraud and, if necessary, force in an attempt to install a more pliable Moldovan regime. | | | In practice the administration has been pretty tough in denouncing the fraudulent elections in Ukraine -- though nothing has been said about Russia's blatant backing of the fraud. | | | But the Bush administration has yet to acknowledge, in its public statements, that Russia has played any role in Ukraine. |

| | Russia alone does not know what it is annually to send forth to foreign lands thousands of her sons who cannot find food and shelter amid the superfluity of wealth and labor falling to the share of their countrymen. | | | It is this sacred conviction which has given birth to the steadfast belief both of our rulers and of the ruled, that Russia is the source and center of an invincible might, which is but increased by the attacks of her foes. | | | In such an abnormal state of affairs all the gain, as regards material prosperity, falls to the share of the representatives of Western principles---representatives foreign in spirit, and in reality hateful to those peoples of an ancient type on whom they have forced themselves by means of their cannon. |

| | N the dying years of imperial Russia, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorsky undertook a great photographic experiment: commissioned by Nicholas II, Prokudin-Gorsky traveled the country from 1905 to 1915, documenting the sights, flavors and especially the people of the Russian empire, then displaying the results with an experimental three-color projector. | | | The three filters he used on his camera were inserted into a projector, which superimposed the three primary- color images to make a full color image. | | | While people generally think of color photography as something that arrived sometime around World War II, Prokudin- Gorsky was one of many working in the medium at the start of the 20th century. |
