Here's good news on the cartoon war front: The Sakharov Museum and Public Center in Moscow is going to exhibit all the Danish cartoons next month.
Plain-speaking museum director Yuri Samodurov said, "We must show the whole world that Russia goes along with Europe, that the freedom of expression is much more important for us than the dogmas of religious fanatics." A few more details here.
Russia has a critical role to play in the crisis, and this shows at least some Russians are ready to fight hard against totalitarian thinking, under which they so greviously suffered.
As they say in Brighton Beach, bolshoye spacibo, Yuri.
