In Russia, 70 percent of marriages break up. The worst, by the way, are in the Caucasian republics. In purely Muslim Ingushetia, there are two and a half divorces per registration, it seems that everyone there has decided to divorce everyone. Traditional marriage is not in crisis there, but in collapse. In Chechnya and Dagestan, […]

I had a friend who was convinced that if you launch an Orthodox satellite and broadcast something Orthodox on all TVs, the country will very quickly return to faith, become a churchgoer in a matter of years. I remember when I hear from priests again that most teenagers who grew up in Christian families completely […]

Viktor Shenderovich wrote a post about what he thinks about the murder of a pregnant woman in the Kursk region. There is nothing unexpected in it: you – Russians rejoiced at the war, so there.

Eighteen centuries after the expulsion, the Jews wandered, were despised, and again expelled from everywhere. The Holocaust, when some […]

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 political blindness of the communists resulted in the fact that Ukrainian nationalism was formed on the basis of Russian nationalism, which fell on fertilized soil by Austrian and German nationalists. Thomas Venclova expressed a fairly sensible idea: “Many in the Baltic countries and throughout Eastern Europe consider Russian nationalism to be an absolute evil, […]

The holy 90s, as Naina Yeltsin called them, if not to talk about my happy personal life, about my dear friends — this is a series of pictures that turn the heart into stone. October 4, 1993 — The plot on TV: The journalist is fussy, lively, spinning around the bodies of those killed in […]

Having become acquainted with a dozen angry posts regarding the return of the Rublev Trinity to the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, I could not stand it anymore, and decided to respond to these comments. It seems that cultured people sound the alarm in favor of all that is good, but at the same time they are too […]
