Wer sich jetzt denkt, Ivan Katchanovski, das ist bestimmt ein U-Boot der Russen, dessen Erkenntnisse können wir mal direkt ignorieren, für den will ich mal aus der Vita von dem Mann zitieren:

„Ivan Katchanovski teaches at the School of Political Studies and the Department of Communication at the University of Ottawa. He was Visiting Scholar at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University, Visiting Assistant Professor at the Department of Politics at the State University of New York at Potsdam, Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto, and Kluge Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Kluge Center at the Library of Congress.
