Ashes Instead of a Mask

When ashes fall on the forehead, time seems to slow down — Ash Wednesday — a time when we pause and remember — who are we? Where are we going? What are we doing? Ash Wednesday is a time of preparation for Lent in the Western Church, and everyone who comes is anointed with ashes […]

Trump and Aliens

President Donald Trump announced yesterday that he is instructing the Pentagon and other government agencies to identify and declassify files related to aliens and UFOs due to the “enormous interest” in society. Trump made this statement on social media a few hours after accusing former President Barack Obama of disclosing classified information. On Sunday, Obama […]

Memory of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

Why is Lenin remembered all over the world? We are told that Lenin is a thing of the past, yet they continue to vilify him, spending millions on books and films that attempt to discredit his name and distort his ideas. Is it just because he was a great revolutionary and the founder of the […]

Trump Doesn’t Share the Gordie Howe Bridge with Canada

The brand-new bridge may never open if Trump changes the previously issued permit. The Gordie Howe Bridge is set to connect the Canadian province of Ontario and the US state of Michigan, separated by the Michigan River. This isn’t the only transportation corridor between Michigan and Ontario. In particular, there’s the Ambassador Bridge, but it […]

Germany: The Key to What Happened to Europe

How and why Germans have lost it, is not clear to me. I don’t live in the country and I don’t have a way to study events all the way to their causes. But the results are obvious for anyone to see. Here is an emblem of what I am talking about. Long time ago, […]

“This is Worse than a Crime, it’s a Mistake.”

(“C’est pire qu’un crime, c’est une faute”). Great line attributed to Taleyrand, famous French Diplomat. Indeed, that’s exactly what Trump, or rather his incompetent henchmen into whose hands he entrusted the American legal system, have done. It is very easy to gaslight Americans about foreign policy. They have no clue about any European or Asian […]

Canada, Stop Lying to Itself

There is a great Soviet joke about Americans mocking Russia’s lack of freedom of speech. See, says, American. I can stand in front of the White House and scream, down with Reagan, and nothing will happen to me. Big deal, says Russian. I can stand in front of the Kremlin, scream “down with Reagan” and […]

Arm in Arm with America

I see how, against the backdrop of NATO’s crisis over Greenland, the idea of ​​creating a “new joint Russian-European security architecture on the continent” is gaining popularity in the expert community, including, of course, security guarantees for Ukraine. “Together with Europe (and China) – against America!” This idea is naturally supported primarily by the pro-Ukrainian […]

Congress Implementing 2026 Plan

Congress begins implementing its 2026 plan: to rein in Trump and reclaim control… But to do this, they need to pass a budget. Will it work? First of all, the US Senate has NOT yet passed a resolution banning Trump from fighting Venezuela. By a vote of 52 to 47, the Senate only tabled S.J. […]

Russophobia as a “Sacred Mission” of the Nazis

How woke liberals learned to love Nazi collaborators and murderers. One the surface of it, it all looks strange if not shocking. The most progressive of the Americans and consequently of the western world, providing moral and financial support to the ultra-nationalist thugs who idolize mass murderers of the Bandera type. They don’t idolize Dr. […]

The End of Cinema

This is very, VERY sad news. I don’t want to exaggerate or draw premature conclusions, but this turn of events in the film industry is, to put it mildly, frightening and shocking. I dare to suspect that everyone has noticed how the quality of global cinema has plummeted recently. Many complain about stupid plots, incompetent […]

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 […]
