The Internet offers many opportunities to keep up with news, of which a number have been introduced in earlier Commentaries. The home pages of the various Internet service providers, for example, CompuServe and Freeserve, include buttons to be clicked to transfer to virtual news desks, and another useful site associated with the The Observer and The Guardian newspapers is at: http://www.observer.co.uk/
Two English-language newspapers are produced in Russia and distributed free of charge in international hotels and on Aeroflot flights. They are the Moscow Times and Moscow Tribune, and both of them give extremely good accounts of events in and affecting Russia, often highly critical of the government and of leading politicians, leaving no doubt that the papers are independent. Subscriptions can be taken out to have either paper sent by air mail to addresses outside Russia, but a simpler and cheaper way to keep in touch is now offered by the Moscow Times, whose main stories can be seen, free of charge, at the Web site: http://www.moscowtimes.ru
On a lighter note, it may be mentioned that information on Bolshoi productions can be seen at: http://www.bolshoi.ru with, if wanted, the opportunity to make online bookings for the more expensive seats.
