Rumour-mongering Moscow paper folds

The Moscow newspaper that reported rumours that President Vladimir Putin had secretly divorced and was planning to marry 24-year-old Alina Kabaeva, an Olympic gymnastics champion, has suspended publication. The publishers of the small-circulation tabloid Moskovsky Korrespondent insist the suspension was a commercial decision. But Russian journalists believe it shows the extent to which the media had been cowed by the Kremlin. (Via FT.com)
