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 […]

Today is October 3rd. Exactly thirty years ago, a bloody denouement began in the confrontation between the highest authority of the RSFSR, the Supreme Council, and the President of the RSFSR, which ended in the death of hundreds of civilians.

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 […]
