On Both Sides of Transparent Glass

An artist trying to publish his story about the horrors he experienced in the camps. A writer who became a propagandist in the service of the Nazis. What do they have in common — and where did their different paths lead them? A tram crawls along the Trinity Bridge — oh, excuse me, the Equality […]

Dyson Carter, Our Loyal Betrayed Friend

Perestroika, among other things, led to the severance of ties with millions of foreign friends, many of whom devoted their entire lives to establishing normal relations with our people. Among them was the Canadian writer, scientist, educator and publisher Dyson Carter (1910-1996). “During his fifty-plus years of writing, Dyson Carter published hundreds of magazine and […]

“I am Thinking About the Immortality of the Revolution”

On October 9, 1967, Comrade Che, aka Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, a glorious son of the Argentine people, commander of the Cuban Revolution of 1959 and Cuban statesman, was executed in a school in the Bolivian village of La Higuera. Apparently, the reason for the decision to execute Che Guevara was the reluctance of […]

The Cuban Missile Crisis Was Resolved by … Swearing

The tension in our military-political confrontation with the West, unprecedented since the mid-1980s, gives many a reason to recall the Cuban Missile Crisis. In this regard, it is appropriate to recall the Hollywood documentary drama “Thirteen Days” released in 2000. The film was based on the book of the same name by the brother of […]

Pensions are Worse and Worse

There is such an important social indicator as the “replacement rate”. It shows how much the average pension in a given country (as a percentage) is from the average salary. A replacement rate above 50% is considered desirable — it depends on how it works out. Russia has had long-standing difficulties with this indicator. In […]

Treason of Intellectuals, Dante Style

The Canto XXVII features one sinner, named Guido Montefeltro, who was punished for something which is quite contemporary and resonant. Corrupt as he was, Guido still recognized that when the Pope asked him to raze a city off the map, it wasn’t quite kosher. Yet, the Pope assuages his conscience: Don’t worry about it. You’ll […]

Zelensky in Crosshairs

The time for Zelensky’s assassination is slowly approaching, as I wrote about 1.5 years ago that he is following the path of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem. Zelensky’s role for the US/UK has been played out — the Russian Federation’s ability to unite with Europe is absent, the Russian military potential has been significantly […]

Establishment Media is Disgusting!

Asymmetry? Bias? Propaganda? Reality Distortion? Call it what you want, but the establishment media is disgusting. Just look at how they cover the dude who wanted to kill Trump and left plenty of evidence behind. The guy been in Ukraine on several occasions. He gave endless interviews and acted as a perfect agent for Ukrainian […]

War Came to Russia

Many commentators waving Yandex (Google) maps with space images of the arsenals and storage bases of the Russian Ministry of Defense forget about elementary things. Firstly, these space images are usually long-term from the moment of shooting. Sometimes several years. After all, the images are purchased from operator companies, and their cost is very high. […]

Deep State and Laughing Kamala Harris

Musk on Biden: — “I keep forgetting that Biden is still technically running our country.” Indeed, Biden remains president purely technically. In fact, the world’s largest nuclear power is run mostly by a team of bureaucrats invisible to the world. It decides for itself what and to what extent to report to the president. Perhaps […]

Where is Telegram Heading

Pavel Durov broke the prolonged silence after his arrest in France and clarified his position. Since he speaks emotionally and somewhat vaguely, many interpretations and speculations have appeared: like, someone has moved somewhere, is drifting, maneuvering, breaking down, bargaining, giving in, etc. But what is the reality? Let’s leave Durov’s personal affairs aside. Serious people […]

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, […]

Romance at the Tip of the Pencil

Animated Short Film “THOUGHT OF YOU” is a delightful graphic novel with images that look like they’ve stepped out of the pages of an artist’s album and came to life. A great way to show the experience and dreams of each character is simply through a pencil drawing that comes to life without distracting details. […]

Sincerity is Somewhere Inside Us

Adult life is a strange thing. It often feels different than it actually turns out. As a child, you look at life with wide eyes. We stretch our arms to everything: to a flower and a butterfly, to a puppy and a kitten, to a cloud in the sky. We have fun and we laugh. […]

The Attractive Force of Bad Luck

Opposites are known to attract. Because the heroes of the French animated comedy “Jinxy Jenkins & Lucky Lou” were doomed to meet, and, according to the authors’ intention, their meeting was to be completely random and completely captivating the attention of the audience. As a result, an exciting race of heroes in an uncontrolled ice […]
