20:10 乌克兰女飞行员在俄受审 来自教书匠小夏 
Savchenko
A Russian court today hands down a sentence in a trial which is more about demonology than justice. In Russian eyes—and in the judge’s summing up—Ms Savchenko, Ukraine’s most distinguished female military pilot, is a ruthless killer who directed artillery fire that killed two Russian journalists. For Ukrainians, however, the defiant woman in the dock, prone to singing the national anthem and insulting the judge, is a hero; her abduction and show-trial exemplify Russia’s descent into vindictive lawlessness. Ms Savchenko is likely to start another hunger-strike, spurring Western countries to continue championing her case. John Kerry, America’s secretary of state, will raise it in Moscow this week. The most likely eventual outcome is a prisoner exchange, probably for two Russian military-intelligence officers captured while undercover in Ukraine. Once home, Ms Savchenko (elected to parliament while in custody) is likely to turn to politics—a battlefield where enemies are harder to spot.
