This blog has been dormant for a while. For slightly more recent things, I've set up a very primitive archive at gessenarchive.tumblr.com.

Speaking of videos of Russia… longtime readers of this blog will recall my Russian traffic updates from the past year, which began with the car-based assassination attempt on the president of Ingushetia and then went on to a video of the presidential motorcade whizzing through the streets of Moscow, as well as the sort of real-time updates readers of this blog used to rely on until Tumblr declined to sign me to an endorsement contract and I went on strike. Anyway, I finally condensed all my traffic observations into a hard-hitting article for the New Yorker, which appeared last week. It’s not online, unfortunately, but they made a pretty cool video based on it, which is above.
