The extent of Russian on-off polit-ical protests ongoing since De-cember 2011 has astonished ex-perts, politicians and activists themselves. The Russian opposi-tion brings people out to the square notwithstanding the ex-tremely strict or none access to mass media. The peculiarity of the Russian media landscape consists of the coexistence of the government-controlled Television and the uncensored Internet. This gap pushed extra-parliamentary opposition online.

The unexpected end of the Qhadafi’s regime achieved in October 2011 leaves many unanswered questions. During the six months of war which preceded the collapse of the regime, the National Transitional Council and the rebels were able to reconcile their differences in order to hunt Qhadafi’s power. Will they be able to maintain that unity and, above all, will they be able to face the numerous challenges of post-Qhadafi Libya? Otherwise, the price to be paid for the new Libya could be way too high, even for the most optimist analysts.
