A Communist Alternative to Putin?

In the sixty-second edition of the Russian Newspapers Monitor, Professor Filip Kovacevic discusses the articles from four Russian newspapers: Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Moskovskiy Komsomolets, Izvestia, and Komsomolskaya Pravda. He discusses the most recent developments concerning the post-ISIS situation in Syria and the deepening of the U.S. economic sanctions against Russia, including Russia’s likely expulsion from the SWIFT messaging and payment system. In addition, Professor Kovacevic examines the question of the EU and OSCE observers in the upcoming Russian presidential elections and presents the campaign agenda of Putin’s most significant presidential opponent, Pavel Grudinin, the candidate of Russia’s Communist Party.
