Russia: Managers Fired For Publishing Anti-Putin Content

Managers at a top publishing house get fired for publishing anti-Putin content in a magazine.

The weekly Kommersant Vlast allegedly contained accusations of a vote fraud and had objectionable text aimed at the Russian PM. 

Some media analysts are viewing the situation as an attempt to stifle criticism targeting the government, following the November 4 elections which Putin's party is said to have rigged. Putin, meanwhile, denies the allegations.
