Note well that whilst RIA is state-run, Interfax isn’t. That’s why I’ll often choose an Interfax post on the Church over a RIA post. That’s not to mention the Church’s media network, which includes Soyuz TV, patriarchia.ru, and such “unofficial” outlets as pravoslavie.ru and pravmir.ru.
I should mention here the acrid mistranslations and bowdlerisations on interfax-religion.com, pravmir.com, and any English translation on pravoslavie.ru. Avoid them at all costs! Most of it is botched, much of it being done by a HOOMie cultist named Nectaria Rees in Platina CA under Dickie Wood’s auspices. Frankly, Archimandrite Tikhon Shevkunov isn’t versed in English, so they snuck it past him (it’s the sort of information that Michalopoulos and the Monomakhos crowd don’t give you, due to their abysmal level of ignorance (and rather low level of readership)). Run machine translations on interfax-religion.ru, pravosalvie.ru, and pravmir.ru, and you’ll get the gist… for instance, the OCA fanatics refused to translate the anti-NATO articles on pravoslavie and pravmir (rightly) condemning the American aggression against Libya.
Caveat lector… there’s more than one steaming cow pat out there in that meadow… do mind the tall grass…
