Back to the "

Blackjack"

Hacking and the Ukraine conflict  

Moscow versus the Islamic State;

Kadyrov digs in his heels  

Russia's ultranationalists on the march;

A hard-fought victory in Russia's "

war on terror"

Europe arms itself... but not enough;

Russia's opposition parties huddle together  

Moscow chafes at Ukraine's turn away from its Soviet past;

No joking allowed on Russia's Internet
