The
third issue
of the unique glossy quarterly
(recently called a "favorite new
magazine" by Conde Nast
Portfolio) hits the newsstands
nationwide on February 8. "This
is by far the best issue we've
yet put together," says
RUSSIA!'s editor-in-chief
Michael Idov. "We've basically
found the tone that allows us to
print an essay about Russia's
imperial claims on Caspian oil
on one page and goofy street
fashions on the next one. In
other words, we're precisely as
schizophrenic as our subject."
