“Historically, Russia has often demonstrated an ability to take
unexpected turns, whether for good or ill. Few people foresaw the
collapse of the Soviet empire. Russia today has a glass-like quality to
it: rigid and fragile at the same time, and liable to develop cracks in
unforeseen places. The danger lies in its unpredictability. Yet that
may also be a reason for hope.”
(The Economist, A special report on Russia, 11/29/2008)
