Dateline: Moscow

From AFP:

Russia's worsening economic situation could spark popular unrest, the interior ministry warns, in the first official expression of alarm that unpaid wages and job losses are creating a mood of protest.'

This is worth watching. Russia is the latest (but likely not the last) country to suffer from the economic misery afflicting many countries. But I think the political response is critical to see. If the "cold old days" are back in the Kremlin, we can expect a military response, or at least a backlash against the people.
