Photo: Andrey TarkovskyAs you may have noticed we’ve got a new look for 2010 and that’s not the only thing that’s changing: without compromising anyone’s territorial integrity we’re going for expansion. We’re looking for guest writers to feature regularly and are offering in return fame and glory, the chance to get published and read by a network of Russophiles, Russophobes and everyone in between, as well as to be a part in building and bettering the eastern blog. So are you a budding Luke Harding, or an Orlando Figes in the making? Could you give Jonathan Dimbleby a run for his money? Have you got something to say about Russia’s relations with Papua New Guinea, or the particularities of the Russian washing-up liquid market? Have you careered across Chukotka on a rusty dog sled wrapped in bearskin with nothing but a pot of caviar for sustenance and lived to tell us the tale? Can you tell your Lukashenko from your Timoshenko and your Vladimir from your Vladislav? Can you write something on this concisely in around 700 words? Then we want to hear from you!

If only I could put two thoughts together, then I could have been rich and famous :)
You lost me at "in around 700 words" ...
Preceding this age of twits who twatter it was Shakespeare who said:
Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
I will be brief.
(Not to say that what you write is in anyway tedious - quite the opposite, in fact! - but I think we're trying to persuade the people who sit silent in our lectures, burning with unsaid thoughts...)
Au fait, moi je veux bien contribuer, mais à condition que vous corrigiez mon anglais et que vous acceptiez des articles totalement futiles !
Go for it Emma!
