How To Get Invited To Western Soirees if you are a Russian Journalist, The Easy-Step Approach:
1. Get job at Novaya Gazeta. Write about how only the United States can save us from the evil Putin regime. The more ludicrous th better. Piece gets translated and sent to Johnson's Russia List.
2. Editor at Moscow Times sees piece on JRL. "Hey, this is our kind of guy/gal, a journalist struggling against the regime!"
3. Cool. Now you've got a column at the Moscow Times. Soon, the NYT is calling you as an expert.
4. It's free eats at the US Embassy 24/7!
Nu, zayats, pogodi!
