As we look back on the outgoing and challenging year of 2025, I’d like to share my observations on how our people perceive the current situation. Not the self-appointed comprador elite of the 1990s, no, but those very people (I’ve had the opportunity to speak with various people), who are the bearers of those traditional […]

This has definitely never happened before. The US National Intelligence Agency, represented by its Director Tulsi Gabbard, issued a very harsh rebuff to provocative publications in Reuters. Here’s the gist of the matter. ARSTRATEMENT On December 20, Reuters published an article headlined “US Intelligence Indicates Putin’s Military Aims in Ukraine Have Not Changed.” The article […]

In our modern world, we all live in a completely new reality compared to the previous century. Today, whether on the subway or on the street, we encounter thousands of strangers. In the past, living in the village, everyone knew each other by sight, perhaps only meeting a few folks during seasonal work. However, today […]

The Ukrainian state’s persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) has caused much sorrow among our congregation, as has of course, the war itself. Last month, a small delegation of clergy from four Orthodox [jurisdictions] in the United States went to our nation’s capital to advocate for our persecuted brothers and sisters. The meetings were […]

How older humans greet each other in the cosmos. I was sitting in the waiting room of a doctor’s office last week when someone I hadn’t seen for many years came in. When he saw me, he said “Bob! How are you? You look great!” I don’t look great. Since I last saw him, my […]

Some believe that the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II in March 1917 was the result of a “conspiracy of Duma deputies and generals.” This belief persists despite the fact that the February events in Petrograd have been studied in considerable detail by historical scholars. During World War I, Russia experienced a veritable boom in the […]

These issues interest me as both a teacher and a historian. Modern students read little, and only what’s available online. If a book isn’t online, it doesn’t exist for them. They hardly ever go to libraries. A separate issue is the use of AI. For an intelligent person, AI is a tool, facilitating information gathering, […]

Dostoevsky’s Demons/Possessed is usually viewed as the satire of Russian nihilists of the 1860s, and their random acts of violence, including the murder of the student, named Ivanov, in Moscow. But Dostoevsky sets his novel not in Moscow or St. Petersburg, but in a small provincial town, and besides individual crimes and a set of […]

She was forced to defend herself, Trump said, “What’s the big deal?” The administration is baffled as to why Susie even started it. The rather glossy interview was parsed into individual quotes, and it became less funny. Not so much the publication itself, but subsequent commentators presented the matter as (a long-standing mainstream narrative) that […]
