In early December, we celebrate many glorious anniversaries of our country’s intelligence officers and athletes, but this year is especially special. December 5th marked the 90th anniversary of the birth of Yuri Petrovich Vlasov, the strongest man on the planet, the 1960 Olympic champion, four-time world champion, six-time European champion, five-time USSR champion, and a […]

The Council of the European Union has decided to freeze Russian assets worth 210 billion rubles and euros for an indefinite period. This essentially amounts to an indefinite freeze or veiled confiscation of sovereign assets of a foreign state, worth approximately a quarter of a trillion US dollars. A statement from the Council of the […]

In the sixties, people were worrying about subliminal messages used for brainwashing. Fine, one can talk about it or write some journalistic exposes. But I suspect, that type of messaging requires some extra deliberation and sophistication, and therefore practiced less frequently than we imagine. What we have instead, and something much easier to accomplish, is not […]

There are different interpretations of the biblical materials. Jews of today often identify themselves with the Israel of ancient days. With the establishment of the Jewish state of Israel, it is not unexpected that Jews should see this as a fulfillment of the Old Testament covenants and promises. Some evangelical and fundamentalist Protestants make little […]

Trump gave what was billed as a “Christmas speech” in rural Pennsylvania this past week that began with his “wishing each and every one of you a very merry Christmas, happy New Year, all of that stuff” and boasting that now, under his presidency, “everybody’s saying ‘merry Christmas’ again.” Then he claimed — contrary to […]

Well, more or less Cantonese, of course. There are a million recipes, but I try to capture the spirit of the dish, choosing what seems most authentic, and, of course, focusing on the ingredients available. My wife and I usually cook together, and she inspires my culinary endeavors. That was the case with Cantonese pork. […]

Real income growth is happening! Citizens are wondering who exactly is getting it. “Dear Russians”—especially those who regularly read or listen to Rosstat or Central Bank reports—know well that citizens’ real incomes have been growing at a breakneck pace for five years in a row. There’s no escape. Russians no longer know what to do […]

As you know by now, I don’t like raising big problems without offering big potential solutions. The big problem I want to talk about today is that CEO pay has become utterly untethered from reality. When I was a young man in the 1960s and ’70s, CEOs typically made 20 to 30 times the pay […]

So there are pragmatic political systems, when politicians are not restrained by sloppily or sophisticatedly concocted ideology. Such was the capitalism of the laissez-faire period, or today’s China, Russia and even Trumpism. And there are ideologically driven political systems. Nazism, Soviet Socialism and now Wokism that took over United States and EU. Since I did’t […]

Trump’s latest major victory, which the liberal media won’t report (or, if they do, they’ll gloss over): the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Texas can use a new statewide district map that gives Republicans an advantage in congressional elections. A brief history of the issue: this summer, Texas Republicans, with the support of the […]
