Returning to the topic of placing Sarmat strategic missiles on combat duty, I would like to draw the attention of dear readers to the fact that test launches of missiles before being put into service and placed on combat duty are not carried out for the purpose of fulfilling bureaucratic procedures. This is vitally important […]

I hope it is abundantly clear — all these roundabout ways to do with the volunteers for contract service might be connected with the Russian government’s fears that carrying out a new mobilization might cause less positive sentiments among the general population. That is why the word “mobilization” is seems to be put on the […]

A protest action continues in Batumi against the arrival of the Astoria Grande ship with Russian tourists on board. According to local media, the activists threw eggs and plastic bottles at several buses and minibuses with tourists from the Russian Federation. Protesters are being arrested. In the 1990s and early 2000s, I often visited Adzharia, […]

I am constantly asked the question: “What do you propose we do?” My answer is: The new is the well-forgotten old. I propose to return to the “strategy of a madman” or in other words “the theory of a madman”, the author of which is Machiavelli. As far back as the 15th century, the Italian […]

I thought for a long time, what can the Supreme Commander be doing today if he does not plan to address the nation in connection with the attack of Ukrainian UAVs in Moscow? Peskov brought clarity. It turns out that today the head of state works in the Kremlin and plans to hold a meeting […]

For the first time in recent years, I turned on the TV and watched the Address of the President of the Russian Federation to the Federal Assembly. When the President, at the beginning of his Address, acknowledged for the first time that the West’s main goal was to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, I […]

Ukrainian formations are pulling Western-made armored vehicles from the Kharkiv region to the Svatov direction. In particular, it was transferred from Kharkov by two railway trains to Kupyansk. Further, in Kupyansk, heavy weapons were loaded at the marshalling yard, and then sent in the direction of Svatovo. The Russian group did not take any measures […]

In those tragic years, I happened to be in the thick of things, to visit the offices of Gorbachev and Yeltsin, to try to convince them to abandon the course towards the collapse of the great Power. To speak from the rostrum of the union parliament, warning of an impending catastrophe. Trying to wake up […]
