The USSR’s Monetary System

The USSR’s Monetary System is An Alternative to the Global Money-Lending System. Part 1: The Monetary System of the Stalinist Economy For the past 30-plus years, we’ve all been constantly told that the only viable and effective economic model is the market.

Arm in Arm with America

I see how, against the backdrop of NATO’s crisis over Greenland, the idea of ​​creating a “new joint Russian-European security architecture on the continent” is gaining popularity in the expert community, including, of course, security guarantees for Ukraine. “Together with Europe (and China) – against America!” This idea is naturally supported primarily by the pro-Ukrainian […]

Europe’s (and Canada’s) “Decisive” Reaction to Trump’s Attack

“Let’s unite and… remain vassals, not slaves.” Very telling! In Davos, the discussion is focused on what to do about Trump’s desire to “bend” Europe, seize Greenland, and erect new trade barriers. Macron, as evident from his speech, calls for collective governance, though it’s unclear whether this will be with the United States or separately, […]

The Davos Tribe is Split

A remarkable split, and a man-made one at that, has occurred within the large Davos gathering. A large group of American officials and entrepreneurs, who arrived early, are successfully working with the heads of foreign corporations and banks who have gathered in Davos, who ultimately find themselves on the side of Donald Trump, who is […]

The American World Doctrine of Dominance

On January 8, 1918, US President Woodrow Wilson presented the Fourteen Points to Congress — a draft peace treaty that would establish US hegemony in international politics and ensure favorable conditions for American monopolies in the global market. From the very beginning of World War I, Wilson had been nurturing and expressing the idea of […]

Congress Implementing 2026 Plan

Congress begins implementing its 2026 plan: to rein in Trump and reclaim control… But to do this, they need to pass a budget. Will it work? First of all, the US Senate has NOT yet passed a resolution banning Trump from fighting Venezuela. By a vote of 52 to 47, the Senate only tabled S.J. […]

Russophobia as a “Sacred Mission” of the Nazis

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. […]

The Quagmire of Trump’s Venezuela

The story of what’s happening in Venezuela is unfolding quickly and big questions are mounting. The immediate danger in Venezuela (and potentially in Columbia and Cuba) is chaos. Trump said, “We are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” and that “we can’t take […]

What is the Kingdom of Lies?

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]
