In an article that appeared in the Independent on Jan. 29, 2000, there was a reference to the Swedish daily, Svenska Dagbladet, making an admission on June 6th of 1999, that is, more than four months before the apartment bombings began, that high-ranking members of the Russian government were already discussing the option of framing Chechen terrorists for bombings in Moscow:
In an unnoticed reference in Svenska Dagbladet, the Swedish daily, on 6 June last year, the paper's Moscow correspondent Jan Blomgren wrote that one option being considered by the Kremlin and its associates was "terror bombings in Moscow which could be blamed on the Chechens". This was four months before the first bomb. Mr Blomgren told the Independent that his sources, whom he cannot name, were familiar with discussions within the political elite.

Among the many disheartening things in David Folkenflik's report was his line about how GQ publicists -- the American ones -- were told not to promote the story, making it "an act of quiet defiance" when Scott Anderson's editors contacted NPR.
It says something awful for the magazine business that the Condé lawyers were pretty confident that no one would notice an article if it were merely printed in one of their flagship titles.

It merely wanted to keep things quiet that it published an article implicating Putin in a conspiracy that resulted in mass murder from Russian business and governmental leaders.
In any case, the bigger the controversy, the better the chances that people abroad -- and most certainly, the Russian diaspora -- will look at this strange episode again.

This sounds scarily familiar here in the west.

Something to be considered, indeed.

So, in your world, the only kind of journalist outfits are big corporations and small corporations? Let me guess: "your world" is United States of America (everything else being "the national socialists").

"Us" in this case may be the Russian people, but you know it often works like that here too.

Putin/Condé Nast is not only censoring in Russia, but also dampening the impact of the piece globally.
Who won the Cold War anyhow?

Not sure if you're that desperate at this point; that said, if you don't find anyone soon and you're willing to wait it out a bit, I can see if she'd still be willing to assist.
