...Yevgeny Kiselev, the station's director general, says staffers will bid for a new broadcasting license, though he doubts they will obtain it. But "even if we get back on the air, Putin will come after us in six months or so," said a reporter, who now talks of leaving journalism altogether. If he and his colleagues do give up the fight, Russian TV will be a poorer place. But perhaps then Putin will have to turn his attention to the sort of questions that cannot be solved by bailiffs or judges - poverty, corruption, the economy...
...Ironically, the raid was so clumsily timed that it hardened resistance among NTV journalists just as they were showing signs of ending their occupation of the studios. The main friction was caused by editor-in-chief Yevgeny Kiselev, idolized by some colleagues and seen by others as imperious and abrasive. Some top journalists had been trying to reach a compromise with the government. One, popular presenter Svetlana Sorokina, thought the talks were going well. Instead came the raid, which left even some of NTV's enemies wondering whether the President had silenced a critic or created a new opposition force...

The meeting in Glassboro only heightened the atmosphere of unreality at the U.N.'s glass house. Even as Johnson and Kosygin met, Byelorussia's Tikhon Kiselev was railing in the General Assembly against the Israeli "reign of terror" in Arab lands...
Five Principles. Kiselev's effusions were typical of the five-day prepackaged charade on Manhattan's East River. Moscow had demanded the convening of the 122-member Assembly, ostensibly to break the Middle East impasse. For its part, the Johnson Administration opposed the U.N. session from the outset, correctly anticipating that it would accomplish nothing and that the Communists intended it to be a propaganda spectacular. Once confronted with the inevitability of the session, the U.S. did use the occasion for extensive diplomatic lobbying by Secretary Rusk. He saw many of the foreign officials privately, and even conferred secretly...
