Upon his return to Moscow from Crimea after the well-known events of August 1991, Gorbachev appointed Grigory Revenko as the head of the Presidential Administration instead of Valery Boldin who was arrested for participating in the State Emergency Committee. Revenko brought with him a group of trusted people, including Anatoly Sazonov. He was made the […]

Political terrorism in the Russian Empire is still a very painful subject for many people in today’s Russia. The reasons for these painful thoughts about terrorism vary. For some people, the sheer enormity of the number of victims—17,000 people killed or wounded between 1901-1911. Other people are shocked by the duration of terrorism between 1866-1911 […]

Within modern Orthodox Christianity, varying views on the subject exist. They can, however, be classified in two basic approaches, with methods and conclusions appropriate to each. The Very Rev. Chrysostom Zafiris’ article is characteristic of one approach. A book written in Greek a number of years ago by Fr. Seraphim Papacostas, entitled “To Zetema tis […]

Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev was born on December 19, 1906. He is the personification of stability. The people of Rus’-Moscow Kingdom-Russian Empire-USSR have never lived so calmly, well-fed, richly, confidently, but most importantly — calmly. The majority of the population was confident in the future. The other side of memory is the endless jokes about Brezhnev. […]

For over 30 years, Russian citizens have been participating in a full-scale experiment of building capitalism in the Russian Federation. Since the late 1980s, the Soviet people, then coddled by the greenhouse-like social conditions, were told that socialism means total equalization, and only capitalism will give EVERYONE the opportunity to express themselves and to finally […]

In mid-80s, I bought a photo album with this title in a Washington-based book store. As a result, by pure chance, I learned about Russia’s pioneer of color photography who at the beginning of the 20th century carried out a titanic task of taking hundreds of superb pictures of what used to be called Russian […]

Liz Cheney is suspected of pressuring witnesses and conspiring to destroy evidence in the January 6 events. Donald Trump was the first to publicly call for criminal prosecution of Liz Cheney (the daughter of that same Dick Cheney). He said that she and some other members of the House Select Committee (then controlled by Democrats) […]

Maybe it’s a good thing that the Maidan epic in Georgia — senseless and merciless — has dragged on for so long. Let the organizers use everything. Absolutely everything. They will show themselves from all sides. They burned Christian symbols. They ruined the children’s holiday of lighting the main New Year’s tree in Tbilisi. Now […]

Amet-Khan Sultan was born in Crimea on October 25, 1920, to a Lak father and a Crimean Tatar mother. Like many young people of the 1930s, he attended an aeroclub, which determined his future fate. Having been drafted into the army in 1939, Amet-Khan was sent to the Kachin Aviation School, from where he graduated […]
