| Summary/Abstract |
Despite centuries of dire predictions, Russia isn't going anywhere.
RUSSIA, IT IS often said, is a country that is barely able to stumble out of bed and put on matching socks in the morning. In the lead-up to the Winter Olympics in Sochi and continuing during the Games, the U.S. media declared open season on the nation. Americans were told that Russia is a country just about bereft of functioning elevators or toilets. Or even a national food, "except perhaps bad sushi." Its people "hardly know who they are anymore" and its essence is defined by copyright infringement and "all-encompassing corruption." All in all, Russia is "a country that's falling apart," as a New Republic cover story in February put it.

The System of Operative-Investigative Measures, or SORM, is Russia's national system of lawful interception of all electronic utterances-an Orwellian network that jeopardizes privacy and the ability to use telecommunications to oppose the government. The U.S. warning ends with a list of "Travel Cyber Security Best Practices," which, apart from the new technology, resembles the briefing instructions for a Cold War-era spy
