Kazakhstani Textbooks Send Local Patriots and Ukraine into a Tantrum (Clue: It’s about Crimea)
Whose bit of land is this anyway? Map of Crimea. Wikipedia image. Kazakhstan is in a spot of hot water over its approval of geography textbooks slated for secondary schools in the Central Asian country that show Crimea as part of Russia rather than Ukraine.

Let Czar Putin overextend himself
Vladimir Putin says he isn’t a czar, but increasingly he’s behaving like one. So why not let him go the way of Russia’s last czar—and sink himself by overextending himself militarily?

Russia plays the Polish history card
WARSAW — It’s usually not difficult for a Russian to cause outrage in Poland by taking a poke at that proud but prickly country’s history — and that seems to be what Moscow’s ambassador in Warsaw may have hoped to do by suggesting that Poland bore some of the responsibility for starting World War II.
