... "Potupchik-gate" after Kristina Potupchik, the agency's press secretary whose fateful e-mail was made public. While hacking the e-mail of Russian opposition leaders has almost become routine, this is the first time the ploy was used against the purported hackers. The result was what the journalist Oleg Kashin called on his LiveJournal blog "the most serious political scandal of the last 12 years." Potupchik-gate differs in one key respect from the publication of correspondence of opposition...

... Minister Vitaly Mutko, according to Interfax. Yakemenko is set to turn 40 later this year. He has led the youth agency since 2007. Yakemenko recently became the subject of a scandal regarding e-mails of his that were leaked last week, allegedly by the hacker group Anonymous.

... promised big things, a pair of magic glasses that could record your dreams while you sleep. Presumably, you get up the next day, rewind the glasses and watch your sleep stories, but the implications worried me instantly. What if a pro-Kremlin Russian hacker got into my glasses and streamed my dreams on the Internet? But then I remembered a recent one had involved President Dmitry Medvedev in a compromising position — he was my butler — so at least that would backfire on them. Eldar was...

... forecast that the "real danger to the Putin/Medvedev status quo in 2011 will not be the liberals, who are few and ineffectual — or Islamist terrorists, who are also few but who can be lethally effective. A new type — nerdy skinhead hackers — will also begin to bedevil the regime." Obviously, this does not truly describe all the tens of thousands who took to the streets of Moscow in December, yet my stab does have a sort of blurred intuitive truth to it. Alexei Navalny...

... the ratings list, regardless of the number of "likes." At the top were now proposals to ban foreign funding of nongovernmental organizations, return the death sentence and shut down a number of television channels, including MTV. Anonymous hackers did their own job and managed to retrieve all the posts. (A list of these posts is available for download here and here .) All in all, the posts make a strange impression. As could be expected, the bulk of them repeat the usual list of citizens'...

... actions were unlawful, but they believed that they were impervious," Kudryavtsev wrote on his blog Wednesday night. Kudryavtsev was referring to private e-mails between Nashi and youth agency spokeswoman Kristina Potupchik and Yakemenko, revealed by hackers earlier this week. One of the e-mails written by Potupchik suggested launching a DDoS attack against Kommersant shortly after the paper published an article in 2008 on the movement during Dmitry Medvedev's presidential campaign quoting a source...

... that some opposition activists have no qualms about using their opponents' methods, a recording went online last month in which Lifenews publisher Aram Gabrelyanov, the editor's father, holds a -minute rant overflowing with foul language. Last week, hackers published private e-mails suggesting embarrassingly lavish spending by Federal Agency for Youth Affairs chief Vasily Yakemenko, widely despised by the opposition for founding Kremlin-friendly youth movements. Another peculiar strategy in this...
