Mr Rogozin's Twitter Wonderland

Really, Dmitry Anatolevich couldn't have chosen a less suitable person for the post of the Russian ambassador to NATO. A New York Times article on Mr. Rogozin's rhetorical bombs.

Missile Defense, Military Doctrine and the Connection Between the Two (if Any)

The fact that you should be careful when reading Russian papers is a common place and I find it boring when foreigners complain about it much. Especially because most foreigners who live in Moscow do not even speak Russian well enough to afford such comments. However this time I found it quite exciting how the lecturer at my “Introduction to the Applied Analysis of Foreign Policy Measures” class, Professor B. managed to convince the audience that they should never trust the author an article entirely, be it published in Kommersant, the Economist or the New York Times. It had nothing to do with finding excuses for the pathetic standards of the Russian press, the lecture was supposed to make it clear that information could be the trickiest thing, that while we were trying to produce reliable information ourselves, we had to stay alarmed that what we were reading was not important or reliable enough. I wouldn’t have found it so interesting if it hadn’t been for the way he illustrated it.

Professor B. is known for being the best teacher at the faculty, but he is also an impossible person, he hates women, looks down on political science students (although he wrote most of our textbooks) and tries to show off at any occasion.
