How Woke Liberals Learned to Love Nazi Collaborators and Murderers. One the surface of it, it all looks strange if not shocking. The most progressive of the Americans and consequently of the western world, providing moral and financial support to the ultra-nationalist thugs who idolize mass murderers of the Bandera type. They don’t idolize Dr. […]

How and why Germans have lost it, is not clear to me. I don’t live in the country and I don’t have a way to study events all the way to their causes. But the results are obvious for anyone to see. Here is an emblem of what I am talking about. Long time ago, […]

(“C’est pire qu’un crime, c’est une faute”). Great line attributed to Taleyrand, famous French Diplomat. Indeed, that’s exactly what Trump, or rather his incompetent henchmen into whose hands he entrusted the American legal system, have done. It is very easy to gaslight Americans about foreign policy. They have no clue about any European or Asian […]

There is a great Soviet joke about Americans mocking Russia’s lack of freedom of speech. See, says, American. I can stand in front of the White House and scream, down with Reagan, and nothing will happen to me. Big deal, says Russian. I can stand in front of the Kremlin, scream “down with Reagan” and […]

Long time ago I formulated a principle that I still follow: the opposite of crap, is not necessarily a candy, but most likely, a stinking crap, or total crap, or any other crap. Since then, I realized that it is just a version of an old Russian proverb, “horseradish is not sweeter than black radish.” […]

By the End of the King Lear, the King Learns not Just Modesty in front of Men, but more Importantly, in front of Universe. In exchange with Cordelia, who returned from France in an attempt to save him from his two evil daughters, Lear learns that neither evil nor good of this world are the […]

People used to describe Soviet Union as the Kingdom of lies. In the words, attributed to Solzhenitsyn: “…the lie to us. We know that they are lying. They know that we know that they are lying. We know that they know that we know that they are lying.” And so on. But is it really […]

Dostoevsky’s Demons/Possessed is usually viewed as the satire of Russian nihilists of the 1860s, and their random acts of violence, including the murder of the student, named Ivanov, in Moscow. But Dostoevsky sets his novel not in Moscow or St. Petersburg, but in a small provincial town, and besides individual crimes and a set of […]

In the sixties, people were worrying about subliminal messages used for brainwashing. Fine, one can talk about it or write some journalistic exposes. But I suspect, that type of messaging requires some extra deliberation and sophistication, and therefore practiced less frequently than we imagine. What we have instead, and something much easier to accomplish, is not […]
