Icon “Trinity” by Andrei Rublev returned to believers

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 […]

Joe Biden is Promised Impeachment. U.S. President Joe Biden faces the prospect of impeachment by congressional Republicans amid yet-to-be-arraigned charges of a “criminal scheme” to receive money from unnamed foreign individuals. Senator Chuck Grassley and Congressman James Comer, both Republicans, formally requested that the FBI submit an unclassified memo to Congress for investigation “depicting a […]

And the Business is Becoming More Serious

Commentators, out of habit, were flippant about yet another row in the US Congress over the national debt ceiling. They have a tradition. The Republicans refuse to raise the borrowing limit, the government runs out of money in all stash pockets, the parties noisily quarrel, then at the last moment before the default they find […]

And yet, despite my age and thirty years of political experience, I remain a naive person.

Gorbachev has died. I will not express grief over this. The only thing I regret so much is that he and his accomplices in the destruction of a great country were not brought to justice. In the period 1989 – 1991. I, being a People’s Deputy of the USSR and one of the leaders of […]

The review of an animation: Detroit’s suburbs have been emptied by a housing crisis, but one house makes a choice. Among the deserted streets, boarded-up houses that were burned from inside out, and collapsing buildings, there was one eccentric house that did not want to quietly fade away along with the rest of the doomed […]

Adult life is a strange thing. It often feels different than it actually turns out. As a child, you look at life with wide eyes. We stretch our arms to everything: to a flower and a butterfly, to a puppy and a kitten, to a cloud in the sky. We have fun and we laugh. […]

Opposites are known to attract.
