Ordinary Russians are never interviewed for Western audiences, so I allowed my imagination to go to work through the looking glass. Gazing at my reflection, I imagined a counterpart in Russia and wondered what his opinions may be. I just happened to be thinking about this while looking in the bathroom mirror brushing my teeth, and began wondering about Through The Looking Glass - a children’s story written by Lewis Carroll about 150 years ago. The invasion of Ukraine brought more impositions of embargoes and sanctions from all sides, and communications to the world outside Russia have really deteriorated. Ordinary Russian citizens have long been denied press freedoms that many enjoy as a matter of daily life in other parts of the world.
