New “Demons”

Here is a dialogue in which I’ve participated thousands of times. Literally. — Ukrainian leaders are crooks and thieves. — No, they are building democracy in hostile circumstances created by Russia. — They are banning Russian language and Russian culture and bringing back ultra-nationalist hateful rhetoric. — No, they are building democracy in hostile atmosphere […]

Economics and Chrematistics

How Ethics and Approaches to Economic Management Influence Crises. To better understand the underlying causes of modern economic crises, let’s turn to Aristotle, the renowned Greek philosopher of the 4th century BC. Aristotle defined two entities in the socioeconomic relationships of citizens in society. One entity is economics, which is a system whose purpose is […]

What Constitutes Dignity for the President of a Country?

Is it dignity — to see old men, who take care of their decrepit mothers — to be dragged into military precincts where they are “processed” and sent to the war? Is it dignity to see the buses which drag these men, attacked by their wives and daughters? Is it dignity to hear that one […]

Deportation Faces: Unexpected People are Tapped

In particular, the mother of the White House Press Secretary’s nephew faces deportation from the United States. 33-year-old Bruna Ferreira, who immigration authorities believe is in the United States illegally, was detained in New Hampshire. She arrived in the United States from Brazil as a child, and her parents apparently settled in the United States […]

Republican Senators Foster Continuing the War

The formula “Trump is great, but there are nuances” has become common among Euro-Atlanticists on both sides of the Atlantic. Senators first voiced their criticism of the “Trump plan” at a security forum in Halifax. There, they uttered the instrumental “Trump is right in his pursuit of peace, and we all want peace, but…” Returning […]

Witkoff Must Go!

This is the new directive, sent down by the globalist control center to its agents both in Europe and the United States. (By the way, what kind of control center is this? It used to be simple — a “Washington regional committee.” But now the anti-globalist Trump is in Washington, and the globalists are meeting […]

Looking Another Way

I don’t feel commenting any longer, because I constantly feel preempted by mass media and the mainstream politicians. It was simple a while ago. You look at the news with your cynical Russian eyes trained on Soviet nonsense, you recognize the same type of clap-trap, and you mock it. Not any more! No matter how […]

A House of Dynamite

Yesterday I watched Kathryn Bigelow’s “A House of Dynamite”—a rare case of Hollywood liberals producing a good film. Twenty minutes before nuclear holocaust, filmed from various angles and through the eyes of various characters—from soldiers at an Alaskan missile base to the President of the United States (an African American former basketball player—appreciate the irony!).

How Trump Continues to Out-ukrainian Ukrainians

In national folklore, which frequently reflects and perpetuates national stereotypes, Ukrainians are the smartest. Through all sort of tricks they always outsmart everyone, from petty devils to Russians. Even Jews frequently come as losers when confronted by a skillful Ukrainian con-artist. If you don’t believe me, read Gogol. Russians — known for their hero, Ivan-the-Fool, […]

“Double Life” of Karolina Pavlova

Karolina Karlovna Pavlova, born Karolina Karlovna Jaenisch, was born in 1807 in Yaroslavl, but died in 1893 in Dresden, Germany. Pavlova’s removal from her native Russia was not merely an accident; she had fled the country of her birth four decades prior, having suffered years of ridicule and ostracization as a result of her literary […]

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, […]
