Blackouts Hit Russia's Regions


Not sure if this story can be believed. The Kremlin has called the National Priority Projects a smashing success.

"Distracted by the country's longest festive season, Russia has faced a series of power outages in early January, including in areas where temperatures plummet to extreme lows. The accidents came as an ominous reminder that Russia needs to improve and redevelop its basic infrastructure, specifically to rehabilitate power and heating supply systems after years of under investment." -- Jamestown
