Erika Niedowski's last story from Moscow didn't get into the Baltimore Sun (the paper's closed the bureau), so she e-mailed it to colleagues. "Russia has taught me that Americans are uptight and overanxious, that I roll my eyes too often, that patience really is a virtue," she writes. "Despite opposition talk of mass protests against Putin and an increasingly centralized state, I can't envision a revolution here; the unwavering hardiness and endurance that have seen Russians through centuries of turmoil and unspeakable suffering are the very qualities that all but ensure they will not rise up."
