Nonsense! The newspaper broke the law. Is that hard for you to understand?

I am sorry. There is no way that a cartoon showing the major religious figures sitting together, watching television and bemoaning religious intolerance can possible either be considered offensive or a breach of Russian law.

If there is such a thing.

Tonight, on the metro, I saw the police beat unconscious a drunk man who entered through the exit doors and tried to go down the up-escalator. He was bleeding in buckets from his head -- just soaked with blood. When I went to check his pulse and attempted to perform a bit of first aid, the police beat me too and gave me ten seconds to get out if I did not want to suffer the same fate.

Not surprising, really. In the time I have been in Moscow, I have been arrested for no reason by police looking for a bribe, robbed by other police officers and threatened with violence on two previous occasions.
