In the forty-first edition of the Russian Newspapers Monitor, Professor Filip Kovacevic discusses the articles from four Russian newspapers: Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Izvestia, Rossiyskaya Gazeta, and Pravda. He discusses the exponentially growing military, economic, and energy ties between Russia and China, focusing on the recent visit to China by one of the top Russian officials and Putin's long-time friend and associate, Nikolai Patrushev. In addition, he examines how geopolitics and sports are linked together in the Russian political and media sphere and how Gennady Zyuganov, the leader of the largest opposition party in Russia, the Communist party, thinks Russia should respond to the new U.S. economic sanctions.
