GQ article controversy In a September 2009 issue of ''GQ'', Anderson wrote an article supporting the theory of Putin's role in the Russian apartment bombings, based in part on his interviews with Mikhail Trepashkin. The journal owner, Condé Nast, then took extreme measures to prevent an article by Anderson from appearing in the Russian media, both physically and in translation. According to the ''NPR'', Anderson was asked not to syndicate the article to any Russian publications, but told ''GQ'' he would refuse the request.
