The eXile newspaper- a Moscow legend

Check out this entertaining story about Matt Taibbi and Mark Ames' old paper in Russia, The eXile, which is legendary for its debauchery and uniquely serious journalism: "Lost Exile." A great read- I don't think there is a more outrageous, corrupt and interesting story than that of Russia in the 1990's and this captures a bit of that. I had glancing interactions with this paper while I was briefly living in Russia and even in its decline it lived up to the hype of the story.
