The Imaginary Russian Threat

Dear Europeans! Whom do you trust: your own eyes or the Children of Baltic Communists who Enlighten you about Russian danger? I’ve been traveling through Europe rather extensively. Everywhere I see common, hard working people, proud of their work, and ready to enjoy its fruits. None of them has any issue with Russians. None. In […]

Education and Free Cheese

As it became known, the quota for targeted training for future teachers is selected by a little more than a quarter. Applicants who want to become teachers do not agree to free education and social support under the condition of compulsory work after graduation from the university. Minister of Education Kravtsov does not see any […]

Biblical Interpretation

What does the following passage from the New Testament as it appears in the Jerusalem Bible mean: “If it is hard for a good man to be saved, what will happen to the wicked man and to sinners?” (1 Peter 4:18)? This passage is interesting on a number of different levels. First, in its context. […]

An Economic War Against Russia

Who will win in the economic war against Russia depends solely on Russia itself. All Western anti-Russian sanctions are based on the premise that the Russian economy is an integral part of the global dollar system, acting as a global raw materials periphery. The main goal of the sanctions is to cut off our country […]

Election Night in the US Ended in a Democratic Victory

In New York, an immigrant socialist was elected mayor, in New Jersey and Virginia, female Democrats became governors, and in California, a regulation on changing electoral districts was adopted. In the USA, on November 4, there was, as we would say, a single day of voting. In the USA, this is called the election night […]

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 […]

A House of Dynamite

Yesterday I watched Kathryn Bigelow’s “A House of Dynamite”—a rare case of Hollywood liberals producing a good film. Twenty minutes before nuclear holocaust, filmed from various angles and through the eyes of various characters—from soldiers at an Alaskan missile base to the President of the United States (an African American former basketball player—appreciate the irony!).

How Trump Continues to Out-ukrainian Ukrainians

In national folklore, which frequently reflects and perpetuates national stereotypes, Ukrainians are the smartest. Through all sort of tricks they always outsmart everyone, from petty devils to Russians. Even Jews frequently come as losers when confronted by a skillful Ukrainian con-artist. If you don’t believe me, read Gogol. Russians — known for their hero, Ivan-the-Fool, […]

Matviyenko is Striving to Reduce Russia’s Population

Irresponsible, unemployed citizens are draining regional budgets. And the question is how does this square with historically low unemployment? The head of the Federation Council Matviyenko and Moscow Mayor Sobyanin proposed reconsidering the approach to paying for health insurance for able-bodied unemployed Russians from regional budgets and considering a mechanism whereby such citizens would bear […]

Who Benefits from the Murder of Charlie Kirk?

I don’t know who benefits from the murder of Charlie Kirk, but it is clear who loses very big. A couple of days ago, the media and its sidekicks in politics were screaming about the Russian drones invading Polish airspace. Oh, horror! Some harmless decoy drones which ended up in Poland instead of Ukraine, provoked […]

What the Assassination of Charlie Kirk Means to Us?

Charlie Kirk (and the youthful part of MAGA that he represented) was one of those rare US politicians with whom it was possible to establish normal relations on the basis of the protection of traditional values. The fact that no steps in this direction have been taken so far (on our part) is due to […]

“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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
