The USE Has Played Out Its Role

At one point, Lenin wrote that the state could not be run “right away” by cooks or unskilled laborers — they had to be taught how to do it. At the same time, he argued against the idea that governing the state could be the exclusive preserve of a narrow circle of the chosen few. […]

A Childhood Filled with Ancient Mysteries

I have loved reading for as long as I can remember, but when I was nine years old, my life changed dramatically. Up on the top shelf of a closet, I discovered a mysterious old book. Its pages were loose and worn, and its black-and-white illustrations beckoned me toward distant, enigmatic lands. It was King […]

Modern Relevance of Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky sets the events of his Brothers Karamazov in the style of Greek Tragedy. At least the events concerning Fyodor Karamazov, the father of all Karamazov’s brothers. Throughout the novel, Fyodor is on the collision course. All he does is challenging invisible hand of justice, pushing further and further into moral black hole. He rapes […]

The End of the Strikes: Why Trade Unions Must Become Professional Development Corporations

For a century and a half, the image of a trade union has been inextricably linked to that of struggle. Red flags, strikes, wage-indexation negotiations, and ironclad protection against layoffs. This toolkit was created for the industrial era, where humans operated machines. Today, this model is not only bursting at the seams — it is […]

You’re Not Alone, and You’re Not Crazy

A brief conversation on the way to breakfast. Someone I didn’t know approached me early this morning on my way to breakfast. He looked about 60 years old, with dark hair graying at the temples. He was dressed in a tie and jacket. He asked me if I was Robert Reich. I admitted to it. […]

Grand Inquisitor for Europe

Why is EU leadership, the Collective Brussels, is so Much United in its Russophobic Policies? Despite economic and pragmatic interests. Despite shared religious, cultural and historical destinies. Despite thousands of things that unite Russia and Europe, all of the sudden, Europe had become a version of Hillary Clinton and her “Russia, Russia, Russia” mantra. Well, […]

Perennial Relevance of Dostoevsky

What makes Dostoevsky forever relevant is his dialectical approach to the most pressing issues of human predicament. Only in the eyes of the extremely naïve thinkers — doesn’t matter if they come from the right, left or center the issues that face modern day materialistic capitalist societies can be quantified, computerized, and resolved. For the […]

Ralph Fiennes the Master of the “Silent Explosion” Phenomenon

Ralph Fiennes always follows his own rules. Looking at his performance — whether in the Lord’s robes or in a haute couture suit, the viewer inevitably catches a cognitive dissonance. We expect a monster, but we get an abyss of charisma, the “gold standard” of cinematic noir, which is impossible (and, honestly, one does not […]

“Demons”: Film Adaptation or Interpretation?

Film adaptations and interpretations not only have different goals, but also appeal to different audiences. A film adaptation is offered, in a sense, “in place” of the book, a simplified version for those who may never read it; the director here plays an educational role, addressing the ignorant as one who knows, the superior as […]

Verdict for “Mercy” on 90 Minutes of Legal Action

As a former federal judge who has handed down sentences for serious felonies and aggravated assaults, I view this on-screen trial not as a detective thriller, but as a very gripping legal drama. I apologize in advance to readers for paying little attention to the visual effects and dynamics, which are top-notch in this work. […]

“Master and Commander”

I envy those who haven’t watched it, because I want to erase this film from my memory and watch it again. Peter Weir’s “Master and Commander” is not just a battle film. It’s a hymn to male friendship, duty, and the romance of the sailing era, shot with epic grandeur and stunning attention to detail. […]

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 […]
