Russia Shutters Last Independent TV Station (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A21130-2003Jun22.html?nav=hptoc_w)
MOSCOW, June 22 -- With parliamentary and presidential elections coming soon, Russia's only countrywide independent television channel was yanked off the air today, rekindling a debate over how President Vladimir Putin views media freedoms.
