King is Dead… Long Live the King!

So evil Dick has finally met his maker and one hopes that this is the last time we hear the name of this greedy, disloyal, nefarious, and pompous scoundrel. The young, progressive, smiling, liberal, and politically correct hope of the Democratic party is in. Voted in as the mayor of the large American city with […]

The Tale of the Chekist Years

The name of Georgy Mikhailovich Bryantsev, an honorary Chekist, front-line soldier, and writer—a Man with a capital M—was known to everyone in the Soviet Union. In 1968, his story “The End of the Hornet’s Nest” was published in Volume 15 of the second series of the legendary “Adventure Library,” along with the story “It Happened […]

Ecumenism

The Orthodox Church has many times expressed its philosophy of ecumenical involvement. The ultimate purpose is to fulfill Christ’s will that there be “one flock, one shepherd’ (John 10:16), so as to reunite separated and divided Christians into the one Church of Jesus Christ. This is a long and difficult goal to fulfill. It may […]

Looking Another Way

I don’t feel commenting any longer, because I constantly feel preempted by mass media and the mainstream politicians. It was simple a while ago. You look at the news with your cynical Russian eyes trained on Soviet nonsense, you recognize the same type of clap-trap, and you mock it. Not any more! No matter how […]

A House of Dynamite

Yesterday I watched Kathryn Bigelow’s “A House of Dynamite”—a rare case of Hollywood liberals producing a good film. Twenty minutes before nuclear holocaust, filmed from various angles and through the eyes of various characters—from soldiers at an Alaskan missile base to the President of the United States (an African American former basketball player—appreciate the irony!).

How Trump Continues to Out-ukrainian Ukrainians

In national folklore, which frequently reflects and perpetuates national stereotypes, Ukrainians are the smartest. Through all sort of tricks they always outsmart everyone, from petty devils to Russians. Even Jews frequently come as losers when confronted by a skillful Ukrainian con-artist. If you don’t believe me, read Gogol. Russians — known for their hero, Ivan-the-Fool, […]

Matviyenko is Striving to Reduce Russia’s Population

Irresponsible, unemployed citizens are draining regional budgets. And the question is how does this square with historically low unemployment? The head of the Federation Council Matviyenko and Moscow Mayor Sobyanin proposed reconsidering the approach to paying for health insurance for able-bodied unemployed Russians from regional budgets and considering a mechanism whereby such citizens would bear […]

Who Benefits from the Murder of Charlie Kirk?

I don’t know who benefits from the murder of Charlie Kirk, but it is clear who loses very big. A couple of days ago, the media and its sidekicks in politics were screaming about the Russian drones invading Polish airspace. Oh, horror! Some harmless decoy drones which ended up in Poland instead of Ukraine, provoked […]

What the Assassination of Charlie Kirk Means to Us?

Charlie Kirk (and the youthful part of MAGA that he represented) was one of those rare US politicians with whom it was possible to establish normal relations on the basis of the protection of traditional values. The fact that no steps in this direction have been taken so far (on our part) is due to […]

“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, […]

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 […]

My Tribute To Mark Twain

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, […]
