...Cambridge, where they surveyed the Harvard campus, met with University administrators and students, and attended lectures and conferences.

Exactly how or why the dose was administered, and by whom, remains a mystery. The Litvinenko case revived memories of perhaps the most notorious assassination carried out during the cold war, the 1978 murder in London of Georgi Markov, a Bulgarian dissident who was working for the bbc. He was killed with a ricin-tipped umbrella while waiting for a bus, in a case that has never been solved. Just as in that Markov case, the death of Litvinenko has already given rise to a flurry of conspiracy theories, including speculation among defenders of Putin's government that the poisoning...

Markov acknowledges that Putin suffered setbacks in 2004, but says he remains "confident and in charge." But Mikhail Delyagin, a member of the pro-Putin nationalist political movement Rodina, agrees with Belkovsky's diagnosis. Putin's wobbly response to the pensioner crisis "shows he's not capable of comprehending the acuity of the situation," Delyagin says. And even if he was, Delyagin thinks he wouldn't be able to do much about it: "His team...
...pensioners could accelerate any economic crisis. Despite Putin's attempts to distance himself from the harsh impact of the reforms, the President was, in fact, strongly behind the law, according to pro-Kremlin analyst Markov, who says he forced it on a reluctant United Russia, the Kremlin-controlled ruling bloc in the Duma. Putin could still distance himself from the reforms and from his increasingly unpopular government - fire a few ministers and reshuffle his Cabinet - and present himself as righting the injustices wrought by his underlings. Senior government ministers promise, so far without details, that they will have solved...
