Political Forum?

[Hanna]

I don't think the Political forum here is any use, if all feasible/relevant topics that people want to discuss are banned. (see UA plane crash)

It's a shame, and I totally disagree with the way things have developed.

Is anyone aware of any alternative forum that discusses news out of Russia / CIS in English?

Why would one want to discuss a plane crash at a language forum? Why would one want to discuss a plane crash anywhere? A plane crash is a tragic conjuncture of concurrencies especially when one single airline is mentioned. Planes don't just disappear, well not in all cases they just disappear, in most cases they fall. But what does it have to do with a political forum? In political sections people would want to talk politics. Like, say, sixth BRICS summit. That would be pretty neutral political topic about e.g. establishment of a BRICS contingent reserve arrangement that would be worth intelligent discussion. Why would one bring uninvestigated tragic accident that had happened one day after that to a political thread of a language forum? That's what are moratoruims for.
Why would one post a map with lines drawn on it? Why not to draw circles?
I absolutely agree that we should not discuss whatever is not yet investigated properly.
