In the sixty-ninth edition of the Russian Newspapers Monitor, Professor Filip Kovacevic discusses the articles from four Russian newspapers: Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Vedomosti, and Komsomolskaya Pravda Moscow Edition. He examines the possible causes of the crash of the Russian passenger plane AN-148. Was the crash due to bad weather, technical malfunction, human error, or terrorism? In addition, Professor Kovacevic chronicles the dangerous trend of the creeping territorial fragmentation of Moldova, which he sees as a key aspect of the Gladio C project, directed against the Russian influence in Eastern Europe. He also looks at the current challenges that the Russian state-owned natural gas company Gazprom is facing in building the so-called Turkish Stream pipeline. Lastly, he discusses recent claims that Grigory Rodchenko, the alleged Russian anti-doping whistleblower, has actually been an agent of the Canadian intelligence service.
