   Valery Garbuzov, "Russia needs knowledge, not myths, for self-knowledge"
   
   (About the author: Valery Nikolaevich Garbuzov - Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Director of the Institute for the USA and Canada Academician G.A. Arbatov RAS).
   
   The points the author makes are not that different from those Western observers have held for years. Interesting is that this rather scathing critique of Putin and his regime, brought about in a historical narrative of Russia suffering from a post-imperial syndrome that makes her laspe into longings of greatness and imperial expansion that don't fit today's realities, is published in a Russian paper/online magazine at all.
   
   Copy and paste it into an online translator.

     That was quick: Shortly after Valery Garbuzov published his article, he was removed from his post as director of the U.S. and Canada Studies Institute at Russia’s Academy of Sciences.
