Eugene de Beauharnais’s Fate for Him Was Fair

Ever since 1821, my ancestors, the Palladins, used to live in the village of Dyutkovo not far from Moscow. Some of them served in the local Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, founded in the 16th century. A few years ago, while collecting materials about my family tree, I came across an […]

Did the Bolsheviks Install a Monument to Judas? Part 2.

Did the Bolsheviks Install a Monument to Judas? Part 1. To understand the absurdity, I will allow myself to cite Henning Kehler’s “memories” from his book “The Red Garden” published in 1921. It is full of artistic inventions, as the author himself admitted (“the memories are artistically processed, condensed and enhanced. Each of them contains […]

Did the Bolsheviks Install a Monument to Judas? Part 1.

The legend about the installation of the monument to Judas in Sviyazhsk has been known for a long time. It would seem that enough has been said about its sources, but there are, as they say, details. Quite interesting to pass by. So, the legend is that after the Red Army soldiers arrived in Sviyazhsk […]

Maybe it’s a Good Thing

Maybe it’s a good thing that the Maidan epic in Georgia — senseless and merciless — has dragged on for so long. Let the organizers use everything. Absolutely everything. They will show themselves from all sides. They burned Christian symbols. They ruined the children’s holiday of lighting the main New Year’s tree in Tbilisi. Now […]

Exodus from Syria

In the morning, a call from a Syrian friend: that’s it, Damascus has fallen. What Marat warned about has happened. They didn’t listen. Now wait for them to come to you. Not as guests — as hosts. The worst thing is the inability to help. The inability to do anything. I turned on the Internet. […]

Biden is a Man of His Word

Papa Biden has granted a presidential pardon to his son Biden Jr., who was supposed to be sentenced on December 12 and 16 in two court cases that he lost — tax evasion and filing false information when purchasing a firearm. In one case, the term could theoretically be up to 17 years, in the […]

“Deplorables” in the US

I Felt it First in Russian Speaking Community in the US. The drastic increase in hatred: political hatred that quickly became personal. Since 2014, the community became split. And ‘split” does not even cover the extend of it. Broken up, with one part canceling another. How dare they support Russia? How dare they speak the […]

A Missile Precedent Has Been Created with Major Consequences

Israel has struck ballistic missile production sites in Iran. Israel’s key allies — the US, Britain, Germany, France — have recognized this step as legitimate and adequate. Thus, an important geopolitical precedent has been de facto established. Missiles aimed at Israel can take off from the Gaza Strip, from Yemen, Lebanon or Syria. People in […]

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 […]

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, […]

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. […]
