...Suleiman added. “It’s really just an indication of the excitement around this whole debate.” The study’s lead author, Professor of Psychiatry Harrison G. Pope ’69, maintains that the findings do not discredit the validity of the disorder, but rather imply that the disorder should be classified differently and treated accordingly in legal settings. “Patients who recover repressed memories are entitled to careful therapy just like anyone else,” Pope said. “We’re just saying that...

But for many Russian lites, the whole macabre spectacle has heightened anxieties about the Putin government's backsliding into communist-era intrigue and repression.
