Picture
Russian attack submarines, the most in two decades, are prowling the coastlines of Scandinavia and Scotland, the Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic in what Western military officials say is a significantly increased presence aimed at contesting American and NATO undersea dominance. – New York Times
 
Ambassadors from Russia and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization met on Wednesday for the first time in nearly two years, amid rising military tensions between Russia and the U.S. – Wall Street Journal (subscription required)
 
Just in time for his 146th birthday this weekend, a majority of Russians in a new poll now say that Soviet dictator Vladimir Lenin played a largely positive role in the country's history. – Washington Times
 
Russia warned the United States on Wednesday against operating in the Baltic Sea close to its borders, hinting that incidents such as week’s buzzing of a U.S. Navy destroyer would continue – The Hill
 
The new chief of the Russian Election Commission has responded to allegations of fraud in an election in a Moscow suburb and called off the vote. – Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
 
Amnesty International is accusing Moscow of "lending a helping hand" to torture in Uzbekistan by aiding in the forcible returns of hundreds of Uzbek nationals from Russia. – Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
 
The editor-in-chief of Russia's RBC media group, whose outlets published disclosures about the commercial interests of people close to President Vladimir Putin, is to leave her job to start a sabbatical four months earlier than planned. - Reuters
 
Michael O’Hanlon writes: The case for working to build a more stable U.S.-Russian relationship in the future is already unpopular enough in American politics—it must not be conflated with a sympathetic or favorable interpretation of the Russian autocrat. – Brookings Institution
 
Ilan Berman writes: If Putin succeeds with his plan, he will have codified an even stronger grip on the levers of political and policing power through an increasingly monolithic, authoritarian security structure more beholden than ever to the Russian president personally. That makes the name of Putin’s new federal agency something of a misnomer. Its concern, after all, won’t be with protecting the Russian nation as a whole but rather with safeguarding and expanding the power of just one citizen in it. – World Affairs Journal
