In light of recent events in Russia, UCLA has published its latest collection of archived web pages on Russian politics. Among the pages are “captures of Boris Nemtsov’s blog and of the reports he researched and wrote about corruption and mismanagement at the highest levels of government. Nemtsov was a prominent opposition political leader who was killed last Friday not far from Red Square.” [source]
The archived sites are in Russian, but the interface is in English.
