Unless we can make the philosophic foundation of a free society once more a living intellectual issue, and its implementation a task which challenges the ingenuity and imagination of our liveliest minds, the prospects of freedom are indeed dark. |

Moscow's image problem 01/22/2007 - 20:42 / International Herald TribuneWho's to blame for the fact that Russia's image in the West has reached a catastrophic low?
There are diametrically opposed positions about this in the Kremlin in the West. In fact, it's possible to start speaking of a new cold war — an image war. The Kremlin views itself as the victim of aggression, with the Western media leading the charge. Put differently, the Kremlin might claim that the West has set loose a pack of young and vicious dogs — its new allies among the former republics and satellites of the Soviet Union — against Russia, and they've raised a loud bark while their masters stand to the side contentedly rubbing their hands. In general, the Kremlin is indignant and humiliated to the depth of its soul, like a child. It didn't do anything bad!

Medvedev is among the Gazprom execs preparing to travel to Davos, where "power shifts" to new players like Russia lead the agenda. They'll try to present Russia as a reliable partner and head off European moves to diversify. Medvedev spoke to NEWSWEEK's Owen Matthews in Moscow.
