...ambitious attempt to shape the war's history arrived in March with the release of Olympus Inferno, which aired on state-owned television. The drama takes a more subtle approach, depicting a clumsy American scientist who accidentally films Georgia's invasion of South Ossetia while studying a butterfly called, yes, Olympus Inferno.

"There are many young people there who are ready to do anything, who have lost parents during the [Chechen] wars, brothers, sisters, who have never gone to school, who have done nothing but train with Umarov...
FlyBy recently got hold of the Lampoon’s latest issue in an exclusive leak (aka two poonsters came by and dropped it off, those shameless publicity seekers.). “Tenderfoot” is Issue #1 of Volume CXCIX (yes, that’s 199. The Lampoon was founded in 1876. We don't understand their numbering system.), and is the last issue of Matthew K. Grzecki '10's reign as president...
