So there are pragmatic political systems, when politicians are not restrained by sloppily or sophisticatedly concocted ideology. Such was the capitalism of the laissez-faire period, or today’s China, Russia and even Trumpism. And there are ideologically driven political systems. Nazism, Soviet Socialism and now Wokism that took over United States and EU. Since I did’t […]

Here is a dialogue in which I’ve participated thousands of times. Literally. — Ukrainian leaders are crooks and thieves. — No, they are building democracy in hostile circumstances created by Russia. — They are banning Russian language and Russian culture and bringing back ultra-nationalist hateful rhetoric. — No, they are building democracy in hostile atmosphere […]

Is it dignity — to see old men, who take care of their decrepit mothers — to be dragged into military precincts where they are “processed” and sent to the war? Is it dignity to see the buses which drag these men, attacked by their wives and daughters? Is it dignity to hear that one […]

And I don’t mean boys named Rocky Raccoons, I mean regular animals, who according to the recent studies are doing the best they can to get domesticated. Raccoons, you see, had figured out, on the genetic level at least, that to survive they had to accommodate to the people. So now they are looking more […]

From Gold Toilet to Gold Toilet: History of Modern Ukraine in One Image. I remember the original impetus of the Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity and their Maidan over-throw of government was the corruption of the president Yanukovich. To get people going, the so called rebels, i.e. the stooges of Victoria Nuland, were broadcasting the images […]

Everywhere I see common, hard working people, proud of their work, and ready to enjoy its fruits. None of them has any issue with Russians. None. In […]

So evil Dick has finally met his maker and one hopes that this is the last time we hear the name of this greedy, disloyal, nefarious, and pompous scoundrel. The young, progressive, smiling, liberal, and politically correct hope of the Democratic party is in. Voted in as the mayor of the large American city with […]

I don’t feel commenting any longer, because I constantly feel preempted by mass media and the mainstream politicians. It was simple a while ago. You look at the news with your cynical Russian eyes trained on Soviet nonsense, you recognize the same type of clap-trap, and you mock it. Not any more! No matter how […]

How to solve Ukrainian crisis and Make America Great Again. Trump is clearly wasting his time trying to negotiate with Putin, Zelensky, EU leaders and so on. These guys have been fighting with each other for too long to be capable of compromise. But here is what Trump has to do. 1. He has to […]

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, […]
