The Paradox of Russian Central Bank

The Bank of Russia. What is it? What are its functions and responsibilities? Many people ask these questions while observing the activities of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. The legislation regarding the Bank of Russia, written by the “Big Four” international (American) auditors, is extremely murky and contradictory. Article 75 of the Constitution […]

The Tragedy of “Not-Having-Any”

Shinto has no founder, no doctrine, no commandments, no idols, and no organization. What it does have are ambiguous characteristics like sympathy and silent experience. This is the very reason why it has been often considered a non-religion by Japanese scholars as well as foreign intellectuals. Japan’s unique historical circumstances and cultural background explain the […]

An interesting story happened to Yevgeny Gomberg. A millionaire and philanthropist, he is known in Latvia as a defender of the historical heritage of the Russian Empire. Among other things, he bought monuments to Peter the Great and Barclay de Tolly, which local authorities had decided to get rid of. The case concerns a lawsuit […]

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, […]

Lavrov-Rubio Meeting “Postponed”

CNN reported: “President Donald Trump’s hopes for a quick meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin may be dashed after sources familiar with the situation told CNN that a preliminary meeting of key foreign policy advisers to world leaders planned for this week has been postponed, at least for now.” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov […]

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 […]

About the Author’s Voice in Dostoevsky’s Novels

The author’s voice is never equal to the character’s voice — but often sounds through it. In the case of Dostoevsky’s novels, everyone regularly wants one thing: to find where it is no longer the hero who speaks, but the author himself. The presupposition here must be absolutely unbreakable: where the Dostoevsky’s hero speaks, we […]

A Liberal Approach to Economic Sovereignty

The first decrees of the liberal Gaidar government in 1992 dealt a blow to those industries of the deceased USSR, which formed the basis of the technological leadership of the Soviet Union. The Americans demanded from their new vassals the immediate defeat of the aerospace industry, which was done. One of the first orders of […]

“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

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 […]
