When I was in Moscow in July, I gave Maxim Notkin an interview for the World Chess Rating website. Now the interview (in Russian) is on the site. I think that the editor could do a better job with the interview, but I still hope that those speaking Russian will find it interesting! Another material from the site, which I recommend, is an article by Sergei Voronkov on the state of chess publishing in Russia.

Talking about my interviews, the edited version (with a few corrections compared to the PDF file I sent you) of my chat on the Play Chess server has been posted at the GM Square site. On that site you can also find lots of book reviews.

I came across new sites all the time and here is one of them: MyChessSite. As the owner described it, it is a chess portal with an archive of problems and tutorials, competition news, on-line chess games, downloads, merchandise, and links.
