The Putin government’s expanding crackdown on political dissent has entangled one of Russia’s most iconic and respected institutions: Moscow’s famously ornate Metro system.

Over the last week, dozens — perhaps even hundreds — of train drivers, mechanics, ticket agents and other public transit workers have been hauled before management and told to either resign or be fired.

  Crackdown on dissidents? That’s possible. I’ll bet it’s more likely the gov’t suspects somebody’s planning some kind of sabotage, and they’re trying to prevent it.

    Like when FSB/KGB/GRU blow’d up that apartment

      I didn’t follow that war at the time, but for sure I don’t trust spy agencies any more than I trust the media.

  one opens the Babuska/Matryoshka doll to the very last one and beyond.
