In Inside Putin's Russia, Andrew Jack describes a meeting with a Russian official:
As I prepared to leave Moscow at the end of 2004, I went to the ministry of foreign affairs to receive my annual press accreditation card.So kurators mind the media—that certainly fits the story behind the Whitney Museum's NYT ads."Andrew, why do you keep writing about Yukos? Why not something more positive?" said my kurator, a young shaven-headed man who had recently replaced his end-of-career predecessor as ‘handler’ of the English-speaking media. "That way when I show my boss your articles next year, he will be able to say you are a serious correspondent and offer no objection to renewing your card."
More on the Whitney Biennial very soon—stay tuned.
