I’m in a ridiculous work-crunch period, so alas no time to blog about all kinds of interesting developments, from whether or not Doku Umarov is dead (probably not, alas) to the re-attestation process going on in the police (a great money-maker for those managing the process, a cynic would suggest). Let me just flag up, though, a fascinating series of opinions posted by a putative member of the OMON, Russia’s Special Designation Police Units (I wonder if they will soon become OPON?) riot police collected by Kevin Rothrock in A Good Treaty.
