Moscow Mayor Wins Suit against U.S. Journalist

Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov added to his string of successful libel suits with a judgment against New York Times journalist Clifford J. Levy over an article in the newspaper's Moscow blog. A Moscow court ordered a retraction of statements that Luzhkov (1) incites separatism in neighboring countries, (2) champions interventionist policy far from the capital, (3) financed separatists in Moldova, and (4) supports separatists in Crimea. Luzhkov did not claim damages or sue the newspaper, which also published an English version of the article.
