Why 'GQ' Doesn't Want Russians To Read Its Story

'Vladimir Putin's Dark Rise to Power'

By David Folkenflik

His investigative piece, published in the September American edition of GQ, challenges the official line on a series of bombings that killed hundreds of people in 1999 in Russia. It profiles a former KGB agent who spoke in great detail and on the record, at no small risk to himself. But instead of trumpeting his reporting, GQ's corporate owners went to extraordinary lengths to try to ensure no Russians will ever see it.

Face it...St. Valdimir, is sacrosanct by his own nefarious acts...his detractors' all seem to vanish, die, get beaten, etc. if they become vocal about him & their feelings/thoughts about him &his KGB/FSB thugs...! St. Vladimir is smart, cagey, urbane but none-the-less a KGB thug at heart...!
