About the Dangers of Supplements

I was asked to cover in detail the topic of dietary supplements (dietary food supplements). I dug up interesting research and this is not only about the known 70% of toxic hepatitis from the use of dietary supplements. A large study was published in 2019, and in 2023 the American Drug and Food Association published […]

135 years ago Charlie Chaplin was born!

The legendary comedian Charlie Chaplin was born on April 16, 1889, 135 years ago! Charlie Chaplin miraculously escaped death, because an assassination attempt was being prepared on him during his visit to Japan in 1932. Chaplin was a crowd favorite. In fact, he became the first actor to be adored by crowds and greeted with […]

First Look at the Upcoming 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo

A year before the opening of the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, excitement for the event is low and ticket sales have been sluggish. There has also been criticism of construction delays and rising costs making construction difficult. At a press conference on Tuesday organized by the Japan World Expo 2025 Association, producers asked questions such as […]

Yuri Gagarin Once Joked

On April 12, Russia celebrates Cosmonautics Day. In this regard, I remember a funny story told by the first man to walk in outer space, Alexei Leonov, about Yuri Gagarin: “On April 14, 1961, during a official reception in the Kremlin, Nikita Sergeevich, after the third or fourth toast, carefully asked Gagarin: “Yura, have you […]

Naive Tucker Carlson

Tucker Carlson seems to be a smart guy, he is quick witted, he hammers like an electric broom. Tucker Carlson is clearly well educated and even quite erudite (although he doesn’t know Russian history at all, but this is not surprising for a Westerner in general, and an American in particular — they are Western […]

Henry Kissinger Was a Politician of the International Realism

Many different words can be said about the late statesman — both good and evil, fair and biased. Kissinger activities can be considered from a variety of points of view — from the position of abstract humanism, the global claims of Euro-Atlanticism, and finally, based on the postulates of his favorite international realism. But in […]

Murders — it’s an Everyday Matter

The deaths of civilians in Gaza — random but numerous victims of war — are sad and terrible. Two unfortunate peoples who found themselves on the same territory and unable to reconcile are an open wound. Eighteen centuries after the expulsion, the Jews wandered, were despised, and again expelled from everywhere. The Holocaust, when some […]

“If Only There Was No War”

About the expulsion of the Palestinians in 1948, I read a lot of materials from both sides, probably a whole library. The exile symbol was the massacre in Deir Yassin, and I think that Israeli nationalists then greatly damaged something in the basis of the idea, the dream of re-establishing Israel. As for the idea […]

Russian Government Invests into PR Hole

The Russian authorities intend to create mechanical engineering for microelectronics in the country virtually from scratch by 2027, developing equipment for all cycles of semiconductor production. The cost of the project is estimated at more than 100 billion rubles. Compared to the investments of global industry players, the figures look modest: the world’s leading manufacturer […]

Russian Civil War of 1993

I previously read the book by Sergei Shargunov, which formed the basis of the film. The book is larger and deeper, which is only natural. The film itself was shot professionally and conscientiously. Of course, this is not a document, although some shots almost document the chronicle. The main advantage of the film: this is […]

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. […]

Sincerity is somewhere inside us

Adult life is a strange thing. It often feels different than it actually turns out. As a child, you look at life with wide eyes. We stretch our arms to everything: to a flower and a butterfly, to a puppy and a kitten, to a cloud in the sky. We have fun and we laugh. […]

The Attractive Force of Bad Luck

Opposites are known to attract. Because the heroes of the French animated comedy “Jinxy Jenkins & Lucky Lou” were doomed to meet, and, according to the authors’ intention, their meeting was to be completely random and completely captivating the attention of the audience. As a result, an exciting race of heroes in an uncontrolled ice […]

Musical Art of the XXI Century

To begin with, in the 21st century, the convergence of academic and popular music has increased. If earlier in world practice, academic composers went into film music, now the trend is reversed – film composers and even computer game composers are moving into academicism. They write music for ballets that are staged in the world’s […]
