The eXile Goes Down

Filed under: Russia

My latest installment on the Pajamas Media mother blog reviews Vladimir Putin's liquidation of the infamous puerile tabloid The eXile and finds it has unsettling implications for an actual source of information in Russia, the Moscow Times, also published by foreigners. Did Putin shut down The eXile in order to set the precedent by which he could strike the MT as well? Will the MT see the writing on the wall and shift its coverage tone to save itself? I'm afraid it may already be happening.

It may be an "infamous puerile tabloid" but it did not deserve to be shut down, just as Eduard Limonov may not be your church choir boy, but this does not mean making his kids serve real time in the pen for mere pranks.

Loss of eXile is a loss.
