Hello, I wanted to share some impressions about the well-known events and some tendencies I've noticed in Russian and other post-soviet countries Internet. As an anthropologist I was interested what do the ordinary people of these countries really think about what happened, while their governments speak nice phrases supporting the US and the war against the terrorism. The result was interesting - while all TV channels, radio stations were speaking how that was terrible and bad, on the Internet I've found very wide scale of opinions and emotions. It seems so, that in post-soviet countries is a difference between the Internet and other media. I had an impression that TV channels and radio programs presented more or less censored view and on the Internet almost all expressed opposite position to the official. These tendencies had even more increased when US started to talk about the war in the Afghanistan. I think a lot of people still remember the Russian war in that country and it's useless. Another interesting thing is the fact that politic discussions still dominates in the chat rooms and web pages which usually are not interested in the politics. I'm not sure if the opinions presented on the net had some influence on the other media, but after some time more skeptic view started to appear on the Russian TV too. I'm very curios what will be next. Regards, Aurelija Dagilyte
