FRONTLINE/WORLD . Moscow - Rich in Russia . Reporter's Notebook: Examining the Young and the Restless | PBS: "What does New York look like, after so many years in Russia?

My life in Moscow was pretty much what it would be in America. I drove to work every morning. I drank beer with friends on the weekends. I shopped in grocery stores and ate out a lot.

But it's different being a reporter in Russia -- interviewing was never direct. There were different levels of truth. You always had to sort through what you thought was an outright lie and what was partly true. One general rule of thumb was this: come to a conclusion about what's really going on in a government or business quarrel. Then step back. Think about it ten times more cynically, and that will be the closest to the truth."
