In the Spotlight

Ksenia Sobchak is continuing her role as the unofficial queen of the barricades — even if the more hardcore activists aren't too happy about that.

Wanted: Teleportation

Nearly 200 of Moscow's museums, parks, theaters and cultural centers are staying open after hours Saturday as part of the city's sixth annual Night at the Museum project. Most participating venues will be open from 6 p.m. until midnight, some much later, and will offer free admission.
