Russians in Washington

The visit of Russian parliamentarians to Washington (during which they were given socks with a portrait of Trump) was harshly criticized by a number of American lawmakers. On Thursday, Vyacheslav Nikonov, Svetlana Zhurova, Mikhail Delyagin, Boris Chernyshov, and Vladimir Isakov met with five congressmen at the US Capitol. On the American side, there were Republicans […]

Toward a Pro-Democracy Movement

Someone asked me this morning what we’re demonstrating for today. “I know what you’re demonstrating against — Donald Trump — but is there a positive purpose, too?” Ending the reign of King Trump isn’t the sole goal of today’s demonstrations. The purpose is much larger than that. Trump himself is not the cause of the […]

Who’ll Pick Up the Сheck?

Maduro demands defense fees in New York from Venezuela’s frozen budget. While global media discusses oil prices, a legal thriller worthy of Netflix is ​​unfolding in Manhattan federal court. Today’s hearing in the case of Nicolás Maduro is more than just a “hostage trial of the Venezuelan president“; it’s a legal battle that is turning […]

Who Killed Pushkin?

Or the question of whether the historian’s main virtue is skepticism?! I’ve written many times about Count Nesselrode and the caricatural image he left in history. And all based on the testimonies of contemporaries. They always spoke the truth and were extremely objective, of course. Who would doubt them?! It wasn’t just the chancellor who […]

Who Ordered the KilIing of Charlie Kirk?

The former deputy director of national intelligence, Joe Kent, who recently resigned over accusations against Trump regarding the war with Iran, announced that he would testify in court in the case of Charlie Kirk’s murder. At the same time, he said that he would give evidence “even if it weakens the case against Tyler Robinson”, the […]

Carlson, get out of here!

From the “voice of MAGA” to a foreign agent. Tucker Carlson may face serious legal consequences in the US. This was announced by the journalist himself on Saturday evening, explaining that, according to his information, the CIA recommended that the Department of Justice charge him with being an unregistered foreign agent. This is a rather […]

Trump’s Stupidest Cabinet Member

A hard call, but there’s a clear winner of the stupidity. At a press briefing on Friday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth complained about a CNN report that the Trump administration had underestimated Iran’s ability to disrupt global oil traffic by closing the Strait of Hormuz. “Patently ridiculous,” Hegseth told reporters, adding — even as the […]

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 […]

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 […]

Revolutionary of Russian Theater: Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko

Russian and Soviet theater director, teacher, and founder of the Moscow Art Theater, Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, was born on December 23, 1858. Nemirovich-Danchenko became fascinated with theater while still in high school. He set up a “windowsill theater” in his room. The young director assembled a troupe of actors from playing cards: kings, jacks, and queens. […]

“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, […]
