Prosecutor Shoots Self in Protest

The Associated Press

... killed President Lech Kaczynski and 95 others, mostly senior Polish officials, in the Russian city of Smolensk. But the shooting was linked instead to a long-simmering conflict between the country’s civilian prosecutor general, Andrzej Seremet, and Poland’s chief military prosecutor, General Krzysztof Parulski. Seremet plans to bring military prosecutors under civilian authority, but has not publicly explained his reasoning. On Tuesday, Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski met separately...

Watch Out for the Oil Curse

By Dieter Wermuth

... just two of a whole series of negative effects from large budget deficits. This, however, is not very likely, but the possibility should be kept in mind and should spur policymakers to broaden the production base of the economy. Marek Belka, head of Poland's central bank, raised an interesting point at the Gaidar economic conference in Moscow last week. He said a country that is overly dependent on commodity exports will suffer a so-called brain drain. Skilled people leave the country in large numbers...

Why Russia Needs Competitive Elections

By Konstantin Sonin

... push through reforms rapidly, often without any preparation. That may have been the best possible strategy — even in those countries that made the transition from socialism without suffering an economic disaster, such as the Czech Republic and Poland. A conference marking the 20th anniversary of the famous workshops of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis was recently held in Vienna.

A More Realistic Vision of Russia's Greatness

By Philip Boobbyer

... strategy polarized the country at a cultural level in a way that was never fully resolved under the tsars. Likewise, the expansion of the Russian state under Catherine the Great may have added to Russia's European reputation, but — in relation to Poland at least — it incorporated into the empire a disruptive population that was always hard to manage. Such contradictions were also present in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when the territory of the Russia kept expanding while the divisions...

Why North Koreans Cried

By Ian Buruma

... traditional Korean way of expressing grief. Even so, the behavior broadcast from North Korea appeared unhinged. Is there a plausible explanation? First of all, North Koreans are not unique. Few countries suffered more from Josef Stalin’s cruelties than Poland, yet many Poles, too, wept publicly after his death. Of course, it is possible that this was coerced — a horrible form of forced self-abasement. Not only did people have to put up with being kicked in the teeth, but they also had to thank...

A U.S. Defense Strategy for Russia to Emulate

By Alexander Golts

... which is likely once the Americans leave Afghanistan. The second major provision of the new U.S. military strategy is the focus on Eastern Asia and the Middle East — in particular, China, North Korea and Iran. The newer members of NATO, such as Poland and the Baltic states, will not be pleased with the new strategy. They have always lobbied the notion that they are the West's first line of defense against an aggressive and unpredictable Russia, but Washington has effectively confirmed once again...

The proposed changes would require sponsors to "use particular prudence and caution when dealing with jobs that offer legitimate employment but also have been known to be associated with human trafficking, such as janitorial service, housekeeping...

Why Putin Is Mad at Me

By Alexander Golts

... intercept them during their initial boost phase. There are several problems with Rogozin's argument. First, the U.S. Standard Missile 3 interceptors — or SM-3, which the administration of President Barack Obama plans to deploy in Romania and Poland — have ranges too short to reach Russia's intercontinental ballistic missiles at their start position, much less in flight. This restriction applies to advanced versions of the SM-3 interceptor that might appear in 2018 or 2020. Thus, Russia's...

... and the two on death row can now only hope for a presidential pardon. A Mother's Fears Kovalyova, who lives in Vitebsk, a small city in eastern Belarus, had never left her country until last year when she went to talk about the case in neighboring Poland. Speaking in a Brussels hotel room, she kept her composure, except when recalling how she learned about her son's arrest.
