It Would All Be Comic if Not So Tragic

The past week has been another horror show, and I share your anxiety and sleeplessness. But the past week also reveals the utter incompetence of Trump and his regime. Even The Wall Street Journal criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for trying to dismiss “Signalgate” as a hoax, calls Trump negotiator Steve Witkoff “out of his […]

Atrocious Crime

In Gaza (in Rafah, in the south) Jews killed Red Cross medics. The bodies of the victims were found in a mass grave, with their hands tied behind their backs — they were shot and buried. Nearby, ambulances were found destroyed by Israeli bandits. Israeli representatives said, “oops, a mistake.” “Shot, tied up, thrown into […]

CIA’s Cent and My Kopeck on JFK Assassination

US President Donald Trump declassified JFK assassination records, including those confirming that Lee Harvey Oswald was a poor marksman. This was mentioned, for instance, in a report by CIA station chief in Moscow. In November 1991, Vyacheslav Nikonov, the then assistant to the KGB head Vadim Bakatin and grandson of former Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov, […]

Vance: America Will Be Here

Of the four territories that Donald Trump has his eye on (Greenland, the Panama Canal, Canada and the Gaza Strip), it is Greenland that he wants to get the most. It is not only because of its vast territory, which is larger than Mexico. And not only because of its mineral resources, which are plentiful […]

Six Small Morsels of Hope

I’m not going to sugarcoat this. We’re in the worst national emergency of our lives. It is not coming directly from threats we should be coping with — climate change destroying our planet, another pandemic threatening millions of lives, artificial intelligence taking over our jobs and brains, nuclear proliferation threatening the future of life on […]

Naive Zelensky Believes in Europe

In his War and Peace, Tolstoy has an amazing image of Napoleon, as the French army is being kicked out of Russia. Tolstoy compares him to a child sitting deep in a horse carriage, who pulls the curtain strings and thinks that these actions direct the horse. For Tolstoy, Napoleon’s invasion had unleashed the forces, […]

Ukraine is Obviously Much More than Ukraine

And it is much more that the war between two East European countries. The whole damn thing totally penetrated and perverted the western politics for the last eleven years, counting from 2014 Crimea. Endless propaganda and obfuscation as far as the information about the war was concerned. Endless misrepresentation of what was going on. Endless […]

Facts are Stubborn Thing

Apparently there is an Irish Proverb — a clear take on Roman ‘divide and conquer” — which says to the effect, if two neighbors are fighting, at least one of them was visited by a Brit another day. Of all people, Irish should know. And so should the rest of the world, which hardly has […]

Zelensky Redux, or Democrats in Congress

What exactly is going on? Who is teaching whom? Same idiotic costumes, same rude behavior, same self-righteousness bordering on Chutzpah. Why all these antics during Trump’s address? Yes, Trump is prone to some obnoxious mannerisms. Fine. He obviously has more than that if he came to White House second time around. What exactly is he […]

Marco Rubio: It Was a Proxy War Between Russia And the US From the Beginning

According to the US Secretary of State, Ukraine and its allies are trying to sabotage the end of this conflict. Appearing on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News, he himself brought up the essence of the conflict, also giving a rebuke to “Ukraine’s allies on Capitol Hill and elsewhere.” Hannity asked: what was that last […]

The Last Mask of the Great Actor

I often think about what it is like to create something with full effort, being on the threshold of death. We are all doomed to it, of course, but we drown out thoughts about it with the vanity of life, work and idleness, feelings and entertainment. But when it has already knocked on the door, […]

How Did the Statue of Liberty Appear in New York?

The Statue of Liberty was originally intended to go to Egypt. It was created as a gift to commemorate the construction of the Suez Canal by the French. However, the Egyptians refused the gift, and France decided to give the statue to America. In August 1875, the creation of the Franco-American Union was announced. The […]

Chekhov and Emptiness: Why Do the Japanese Love to Read and Stage Chekhov?

December 1945. Japan. The war has just ended. In the center of Tokyo, in the half-destroyed building of the Yurakuza Theater, the first post-war premiere is Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard. The play was last shown in 1937. Then it was directed by Aoyama Sugisaku, who 8 years later would return to Chekhov again, gathering all […]

My Tribute To Mark Twain

At the end of January 1985, the 35th boxing match between the USSR and USA teams took place in Reno, Nevada. In connection with this, I visited this city, where I spent several days in the company of our boxing team. Before the match, the organizers of the competition arranged for us a bus tour […]

The real Crocodile Dundee

The prototype of “Crocodile Dundee” was a Latvian. But there is a nuance… You’ve probably watched the multi-episode comedy blockbuster “Crocodile Dundee” with the charming Australian comedian Paul Hogan in the lead role. A fearless crocodile hunter from the Australian outback charms an American reporter, defeats bad guys and travels through the megalopolises of America, […]

Naughty Children: Nuisance or Blessing

Once in a while, every parent, to one degree or another, faces the disobedience of their child. In France in the 60s, even a kid named Nicolas was popular — a character in children’s illustrated books, on which more than one generation of French grew up. He is curious and restless, mischievous but a dreamer, […]
