Dostoevsky was a deeply moral man. So are many of his characters, at least in their own eyes. Yet they murder, contemplate murder, poison other people’s minds, and destroy themselves and others. Raskolnikov, Ivan Karamazov, Stavrogin, Kirillov… Dostoevsky was forever asking what makes people who possess a moral conscience commit godless acts. Ideology? Nihilism? Loss […]

Washington warns that record European financing for Airbus could undermine the longstanding US–EU agreement on aircraft subsidies. A record $3.4 billion European financing package for Airbus threatens to unravel a fragile trade truce between Washington and Brussels, potentially reigniting one of the longest-running trade disputes between the two economic powers, President Donald Trump’s top trade […]

The great sleeping giant of America has awakened, taken a hard look at what’s become of the nation, and roared a thunderous “NO!” What occurred yesterday was not — as some are saying — the inevitable mid-term swing of the pendulum against the party in power. Texas hasn’t elected a Democratic senator since 1988. The […]

How Khrushchev orchestrated the secret removal of Stalin’s remains from Lenin’s Mausoleum in 1961. We loved Stalin with all our hearts. What faith have we been given in return? We believed, while our faith was being destroyed… Yet life without belief is three times harder still, And “Stalin is our glory in battle” We sang […]

Morita-san first appeared near Yoyogi Park in late April. He wore yellow pants, a green jacket, enormous red shoes, and a round nose that, for some reason, kept falling off. Apparently, the nose was the only part of his costume with a mind of its own. Morita would try to put it back on. The […]

Russia is sketching out a new energy order. Europe may not like it. At the Gas Exporting Countries Forum summit in Moscow, Vladimir Putin outlined what could become a solution to one of the biggest challenges facing the world’s energy producers: their dependence on transportation networks, transit routes, and the bargaining power of major buyers.
