Thank you, Caitlin. This is exactly the sort of news reporting that the NYT ought to be doing, if it were more than a shadow of its better self (and yes, some great reporting has been brought forward by the NYT in my lifetime). Because your reporting is so thoroughly fact-based, I can forward your piece to my liberal-but-anti-Russian relatives with the prospect that they will not only read it but deeply consider it.
