Today is an online daily newspaper that reports on current events in Russia.
Its Country Info section has a short report on the Russian government, the entire Russian Constitution, and short bios with pictures on important political figures in Russia today. A nice chronology, with linked articles, of Yeltsin's political career and decisions since 1985. It provides brief profiles of Russia in transition. A useful introductory site.
