-and in other news, Government officials have continued to remain tight lipped and skeptical of the new Russian regime since it's trade stance declaration last month, refusing offers of trade as long as Russia continues to seal it's borders to all but diplomatic envoys. Details about the new Russian government, which broke it's long and mysterious year long silence several months ago during a military coupe, have continued to elude diplomatic officials as well as news anchors. Despite released videos of Russian citizens assuring foreign relatives that all is well, many continue to question the motives and morals of the new government, questioning it's open attitude towards trade as it has been elusive and misleading in talks with world government leaders. Earlier this week in an emergency  U.N. session, the Russian government flatly refused access to U.N. officials who demanded that the Russian leaders allow Peace Corp forces to cross the border to ascertain the situation for themselves. Calina Tetov, the Russian Representative, also refused to answer any questions about the so called "plague" that was reported by some Russian news agencies when the old government closed its borders off, simply saying that "Russia has dealt with the problem, and we are once again a strong nation of one mind."
