Your daily dose of Russian propaganda

Russian media has been smearing the Erna Raid pretty much daily now. The latest in the series is an article by Российская газета, prominently listing among speculative reasons for the 2007-08-13 train accident a "prank by participants of Erna".

Erna was participated by teams of highly trained professional soldiers, from a number of countries -- several of them NATO. It is utterly ridiculous to suggest that some of them might think that bombing a Russian train line constitutes a worthwile prank. Yet, RG finds it appropriate to print such suggestions.

I guess it indicates that the time has come to update that old line about USSR's enemies:
Russia has only five grave enemies: spring, summer, autumn, winter and aggression from Estonia.
