Film adaptations and interpretations not only have different goals, but also appeal to different audiences. A film adaptation is offered, in a sense, “in place” of the book, a simplified version for those who may never read it; the director here plays an educational role, addressing the ignorant as one who knows, the superior as […]

The authorities’ explanation that Telegram’s very existence poses a threat to the state and society is utterly unconvincing. Let’s focus on the deeper reasons behind this decision: it fully fits into the “confessed” principles of state governance by the “Order of the Ruling Bureaucracy” — excessive administration of all processes in society. For example, the […]

The visit of Russian parliamentarians to Washington (during which they were given socks with a portrait of Trump) was harshly criticized by a number of American lawmakers. On Thursday, Vyacheslav Nikonov, Svetlana Zhurova, Mikhail Delyagin, Boris Chernyshov, and Vladimir Isakov met with five congressmen at the US Capitol. On the American side, there were Republicans […]

Someone asked me this morning what we’re demonstrating for today. “I know what you’re demonstrating against — Donald Trump — but is there a positive purpose, too?” Ending the reign of King Trump isn’t the sole goal of today’s demonstrations. The purpose is much larger than that. Trump himself is not the cause of the […]

Maduro demands defense fees in New York from Venezuela’s frozen budget. While global media discusses oil prices, a legal thriller worthy of Netflix is unfolding in Manhattan federal court. Today’s hearing in the case of Nicolás Maduro is more than just a “hostage trial of the Venezuelan president“; it’s a legal battle that is turning […]

Or the question of whether the historian’s main virtue is skepticism?! I’ve written many times about Count Nesselrode and the caricatural image he left in history. And all based on the testimonies of contemporaries. They always spoke the truth and were extremely objective, of course. Who would doubt them?! It wasn’t just the chancellor who […]

The former deputy director of national intelligence, Joe Kent, who recently resigned over accusations against Trump regarding the war with Iran, announced that he would testify in court in the case of Charlie Kirk’s murder. At the same time, he said that he would give evidence “even if it weakens the case against Tyler Robinson”, the […]

Remember: Trump and his cronies in the Cabinet will always govern for their corporate donors and former clients — not for you. 1. Lines are getting longer at airports. Democrats want to fund the TSA, but Trump’s congressional Republicans refuse. They want all of the Department of Homeland Security to be funded, including ICE and […]

As a former federal judge who has handed down sentences for serious felonies and aggravated assaults, I view this on-screen trial not as a detective thriller, but as a very gripping legal drama. I apologize in advance to readers for paying little attention to the visual effects and dynamics, which are top-notch in this work. […]

Dedicated to Dostoevsky Days: August 7 to 16, 2026, in Tokyo and Osaka. The enduring fascination of the Japanese public with Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky is not merely a niche literary preference but a cornerstone of modern Japanese identity. For over a century, Dostoevsky has served as a mirror for a nation navigating the turbulent waters […]
