In many ways this was another horrific week. Like a terrible hurricane, the Trump dictatorship is sweeping more people into its maw while further destroying our public institutions and wrecking what’s left of our civil norms. Yet this week also featured 11 reasons for modest optimism: 1. Wisconsin Supreme Court vote Despite Elon Musk’s hysterical […]

Less than 120 years ago, on September 5, 1905, the Treaty of Portsmouth was signed in New Hampshire, ending the year-and-a-half-long Russo-Japanese War. According to various estimates, up to 80,000 Japanese and up to 52,000 Russian servicemen died in it, including my great-grandfather Afanasy Reshetnikov. For his role in Portsmouth negotiations U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt […]

Using the support of the European “deep state” and the super-obedient French justice system, Emmanuel Macron has neutralized, as he sees it, the main political threat — Marine Le Pen. The court has banned her from running for office, which means she will not participate in the 2027 presidential elections. This maneuver has been in […]

Deputy Prime Minister Patrushev congratulated all those involved on the International Day of Forests, which was established in 2012 by the UN General Assembly to remind everyone of the importance of all types of forests and to raise awareness of their role.

The past week has been another horror show, and I share your anxiety and sleeplessness. But the past week also reveals the utter incompetence of Trump and his regime. Even The Wall Street Journal criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for trying to dismiss “Signalgate” as a hoax, calls Trump negotiator Steve Witkoff “out of his […]

In Gaza (in Rafah, in the south) Jews killed Red Cross medics. The bodies of the victims were found in a mass grave, with their hands tied behind their backs — they were shot and buried. Nearby, ambulances were found destroyed by Israeli bandits. Israeli representatives said, “oops, a mistake.” “Shot, tied up, thrown into […]

US President Donald Trump declassified JFK assassination records, including those confirming that Lee Harvey Oswald was a poor marksman. This was mentioned, for instance, in a report by CIA station chief in Moscow. In November 1991, Vyacheslav Nikonov, the then assistant to the KGB head Vadim Bakatin and grandson of former Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov, […]

Of the four territories that Donald Trump has his eye on (Greenland, the Panama Canal, Canada and the Gaza Strip), it is Greenland that he wants to get the most. It is not only because of its vast territory, which is larger than Mexico. And not only because of its mineral resources, which are plentiful […]

I’m not going to sugarcoat this. We’re in the worst national emergency of our lives. It is not coming directly from threats we should be coping with — climate change destroying our planet, another pandemic threatening millions of lives, artificial intelligence taking over our jobs and brains, nuclear proliferation threatening the future of life on […]

In December 1987, Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan held their 3rd summit meeting in Washington and I covered this event in a group of Soviet reporters. While there, I got a call from CNN. They invited me to take part once again in Crossfire nightly TV program. (I was their regular guest during my stay […]
