  • The last pillars of Russia’s already-limited independent press were forced to close under pressure from the Kremlin this week.

What to watch: Russia’s second-largest airline announced it will cease all international flights from tomorrow, as Russia’s upper house of parliament meets for an emergency session that many fear could mark the descent of a new Iron Curtain.
