Seems to be a mouthpiece for Putin's ruling party - they tow the party line. Need to read their stuff with a grain of salt, but worthwhile if you are really interested in Russia and the former republics since they have sports and lifestyle news you probably won't find (in English) elsewhere.
I really enjoy this site. Good community of readers posting thoughtful comments that give you a good idea about whether to give a book a read or not. Given the price of books these days, it's worth a visit. You also get news and promos from authors or publishing labels you are interested in. I'm all for something that gets people interested in - and buying - books.
I've heard that publishing and/or PR companies send unsolicited ads trying to get you to try their authors but I haven't received any.
