What kind of weekly this is, only internet newspaper? If not how many people can read them, more than Moscow and St Petersburg?
Well, taking into consideration that Shenderovich is one of the commentators on the site, I'd say a good number of Russians read it. BTW, the internet is available virtually everywhere in Russia - just as in Poland, etc. Most have access to it at work. If they don't have home computers, they make use of internet cafes.
I've said this before - if you don't think the press in Russia is free, go to any metro station, find the newspaper kiosk and take a gander of the full range of publications ranging from far left to far right and everything in between.
