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 […]

The Great Flood in Moscow

The Great Flood in Moscow took place in April 1908. In the old, ancient times, floods also regularly occurred in Moscow: once every 30-40 years, the waters of the Moskva River, Yauza, Neglinka and small rivers broke out of the banks and walked through the streets of the capital. The rise in water level from […]

Young Japanese Immigrate for Better Pay

Japan’s young workers go abroad as huge wage gap persists. With inflation now at its highest level in decades, Japanese are beginning to realize that years of stagnant wages are forcing many of them to budget every month until their next paycheck arrives. Tomoki Yoshihara starts his shift at a meat processing plant in rural […]

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 […]

The Stronghold of the Black Hundreds in the Russian Empire

The far-right Black Hundreds movement had its biggest mass appeal in the borderlands of the Russian Empire, rather than in the core ethnic Russian regions in the empire. Thousands of people in the nine Western Provinces, a transitional zone between the traditional Russian and Polish states, enthusiastically accepted the Black Hundreds message of <<Russia for […]

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 […]

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, […]

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. […]

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. […]
