Just found a good illustration of how much things have changed in the former Soviet Union. Pravda -- the one-time official enforcer of communist dogma -- has gone all tabloidy. (Er, if it's the same paper, which I assume it is.) Have a look at this story (and the whole site while you're there) and you'll see what I mean. Bit like The Sun, innit guv? Down here in Oz we've had a comparable editorial about-face in one of our main chip-wrappers. It went from being a fusty but admirable old publication to being more like what Pravda was in the past. It doesn't just run stories about the Red Planet. It is a red planet! You know the one.
