In the twenty-third edition of the Russian Newspapers Monitor, Professor Filip Kovacevic discusses the articles from three Russian newspapers: Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Nezavisimaya Gazeta, and Pravda. He discusses the increase in the number of millionaires in Russia despite the sanctions and economic downturn, the recent speech by Nikolai Patrushev, the key Putin ally and the most serious contender to be the new Russian prime minister, the Russian-Belarus preparations for the massive anti-NATO military exercise in September 2017, the Russian perspective on the recent events on the Korean peninsula, and the revisionist historical scholarship and the revival of the Stalin worship in the Russian society.
