Кто ты translation quiz

This quiz is ten multiple choice questions based on translating Aleksandr Arkhangelsky's column И я скажу кто ты, which (in brief) is an examination of the lack of any responsible activist groups which support the government and which can oppose the right- and left-wing radicals - and why this is the case.

The quiz focuses on information structure.
