If they succeed, Izvestia may once again become as dishonest as The New York Times and the Washington Post.
An accusation does not make for fact.
Oil nationalized again, government owns TV and newspapers, Putin is ex-KGB and helps Iran get atomic materials...
If Russia wasn't so broke, the Cold War could get restarted. The high price of oil gives them cash, but the country needs so many repairs and fix-up that they won't be a major military power for a while.

I love this name, so capitalistic.
Gazprom media, a state-owned media conglomerate that already owns three TV stations, five radio stations, cinemas and movie studios and a publishing house.
I’m sorry to say this but this is Bush fault! What he did to stop Gazprom and Kremlin??? Nothing!! He should be MORE friendly towards Putin!
There is no news in Isvestiya and no truth in Pravda.
GAZProm is gas corporation with big state stake but not only state's. German RurGas is actioneer too.
About Izvestia. I red it for years until maybe 1998. Izvestia was bought by private oligarkh interests then.
Since that I read Internet.
Accually ALL papers and journalists are for sale.
I agree that Russia needs free press. BUT those press bought by oligarkhes? NO sir I rather vote for state owned as smaller evil.
In Russia they say that journalism is second oldest profession after prostitution. No much respect to those pens for sale.
Free press exsists only in Internet.
Yesterday the "TVC" TV network http://www.ctv.ru/english/id/010100000020000.html aired a definitely pro-Polish propaganda programme on Russian-Polish relations.
