How Christmas Will Steal the Trump

Trump gave what was billed as a “Christmas speech” in rural Pennsylvania this past week that began with his “wishing each and every one of you a very merry Christmas, happy New Year, all of that stuff” and boasting that now, under his presidency, “everybody’s saying ‘merry Christmas’ again.” Then he claimed — contrary to […]

Sweet and Sour Pork, Cantonese Style

Well, more or less Cantonese, of course. There are a million recipes, but I try to capture the spirit of the dish, choosing what seems most authentic, and, of course, focusing on the ingredients available. My wife and I usually cook together, and she inspires my culinary endeavors. That was the case with Cantonese pork. […]

Where do Russians’ dizzying incomes disappear to?

Real income growth is happening! Citizens are wondering who exactly is getting it. “Dear Russians”—especially those who regularly read or listen to Rosstat or Central Bank reports—know well that citizens’ real incomes have been growing at a breakneck pace for five years in a row. There’s no escape. Russians no longer know what to do […]

How Can Outrages CEO Pay Be Stopped?

As you know by now, I don’t like raising big problems without offering big potential solutions. The big problem I want to talk about today is that CEO pay has become utterly untethered from reality. When I was a young man in the 1960s and ’70s, CEOs typically made 20 to 30 times the pay […]

The Tale of the Two Systems

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 […]

The BRICS Association Has the Potential to Become a Subject

Many reflections have been published on the prospects of BRICS, an organization that is still perceived ambiguously in the world. The founding organizers (2006) demonstrated that country-based associations of non-Western civilizations can exist in the world. Although this vessel is currently only a quarter filled with meaning, it exists. As a fact. As a factor […]

New “Demons”

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 […]

What Constitutes Dignity for the President of a Country?

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 […]

Witkoff Must Go!

This is the new directive, sent down by the globalist control center to its agents both in Europe and the United States. (By the way, what kind of control center is this? It used to be simple — a “Washington regional committee.” But now the anti-globalist Trump is in Washington, and the globalists are meeting […]

Looking Another Way

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 […]

“Double Life” of Karolina Pavlova

Karolina Karlovna Pavlova, born Karolina Karlovna Jaenisch, was born in 1807 in Yaroslavl, but died in 1893 in Dresden, Germany. Pavlova’s removal from her native Russia was not merely an accident; she had fled the country of her birth four decades prior, having suffered years of ridicule and ostracization as a result of her literary […]

The Last Mask of the Great Actor

I often think about what it is like to create something with full effort, being on the threshold of death. We are all doomed to it, of course, but we drown out thoughts about it with the vanity of life, work and idleness, feelings and entertainment. But when it has already knocked on the door, […]

How Did the Statue of Liberty Appear in New York?

The Statue of Liberty was originally intended to go to Egypt. It was created as a gift to commemorate the construction of the Suez Canal by the French. However, the Egyptians refused the gift, and France decided to give the statue to America. In August 1875, the creation of the Franco-American Union was announced. The […]

Chekhov and Emptiness: Why Do the Japanese Love to Read and Stage Chekhov?

December 1945. Japan. The war has just ended. In the center of Tokyo, in the half-destroyed building of the Yurakuza Theater, the first post-war premiere is Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard. The play was last shown in 1937. Then it was directed by Aoyama Sugisaku, who 8 years later would return to Chekhov again, gathering all […]

My Tribute To Mark Twain

At the end of January 1985, the 35th boxing match between the USSR and USA teams took place in Reno, Nevada. In connection with this, I visited this city, where I spent several days in the company of our boxing team. Before the match, the organizers of the competition arranged for us a bus tour […]

The real Crocodile Dundee

The prototype of “Crocodile Dundee” was a Latvian. But there is a nuance… You’ve probably watched the multi-episode comedy blockbuster “Crocodile Dundee” with the charming Australian comedian Paul Hogan in the lead role. A fearless crocodile hunter from the Australian outback charms an American reporter, defeats bad guys and travels through the megalopolises of America, […]
