Shaun Walker in The Guardian, very timely, with quite a long read on Dmitry the Terrible Blogger. ДАННОЕ СООБЩЕНИЕ (МАТЕРИАЛ) СОЗДАНО И (ИЛИ) РАСПРОСТРАНЕНО ИНОСТРАННЫМ СРЕДСТВОМ МАССОВОЙ ИНФОРМАЦИИ, ВЫПОЛНЯЮЩИМ ФУНКЦИИ ИНОСТРАННОГО АГЕНТА, И (ИЛИ) РОССИЙСКИМ ЮРИДИЧЕСКИМ ЛИЦОМ, ВЫПОЛНЯЮЩИМ ФУНКЦИИ ИНОСТРАННОГО АГЕНТА Published before the will-o'-the-wisp Kazakhstan post, but explaining the tendency that leads to such over-the-top postings. Some explanations from me (with a little help from Hamlet) inside the text.
