  • Another Look at Russia, 2018?


    Guest

    ccs-3106-140264006638_thumb.jpgLast week I posted the wonderful-looking artist renditions of what Russia's World Cup stadiums are supposed to look like in 2018.

    This week we'll take a look at what Russia's World Cup might actually look like – at least in part – for the some of the fans than flock to the tournament. The race-related rioting that has erupted across Moscow (incited by the shooting death of an ethnically Russian Spartak Moscow supporter/hooligan by Central Asian supporters of a rival club) are perhaps an extreme example of the xenophobia that plagues Russia. But it's an illustrative example of one of the biggest obstacles standing in the way of a successful Russian World Cup: Russians themselves (the extreme right-wingers, at least, and the hooligans, who appear to be strong in numbers).[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
