The Best of the Rest

We publish a new article on russianlife.com almost every day, from offbeat coverage of Russian events, to in-depth blog posts on history, literature, culture... you name it. So we decided to look back on the year that was, crunching the data on the thousands and thousands of articles on our website, to discover which stories got the most reads and shares in the last year. Out of over 300,000 pageviews, these are three new posts from the past 12 months that came out on top. Follow the links to read them, and be sure to sign up for our free email newsletter, The Russia File, to get a weekly round-up of what we post.
