Of all the topics in the history of the Russian Empire, one of the most unknown topics is the history of political terrorism in the Russian Empire between 1866-1911. It seems that the history of terrorism in pre-1917 Russia is likely to stay a Great Unknown for a long time. I first encountered terrorism in […]

On July 2, 1644, the famous Battle of Marston Moor took place, in which the parliamentary army under the command of Oliver Cromwell and the Earl of Manchester was victorious. This was the first serious victory of the parliamentary army. But the Civil War in England had been going on for almost two years. Moreover, […]

The concept of periodic cycles of the world economy, alternating booms and busts lasting 45-60 years, has been actively researched and developed throughout its existence, but a broad consensus in the community of economic scientists has not been achieved regarding its practical applicability.

Joe Biden flew out of Europe, leaving Kamala Harris to participate in the Swiss conference. What is clear: the shame was great.

Time is running out for Olaf Scholz. Germany’s Social Democrats have their worst showing in federal elections in more than a century. If Scholz thought he could escape retribution after his party was relegated to a humiliating third place by the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), he may be mistaken.

Off the shore of Yemen, the US Navy is waging the most intensive and complex campaign since WWII. “The destroyer crews are grumbling”… “The Houthis have an inexhaustible supply of drones and missiles”… “The American fleet is stuck.” There has been little news from the Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Gulf of […]

Europe voted against the war in Ukraine, says the famous American political analyst David P. Goldman. According to Goldman, while mainstream (i.e., left-liberal) pundits and journalists call the rise of national conservatives in Europe a “knee-jerk response to immigration,” the analysis suggests the opposite: Sunday’s electoral earthquake was a response to voters’ concerns that the […]

The recent elections to the European Parliament showed that both far right and right-wing and conservative parties made big gains. The 720 members of the parliament generally belong to European-wide parties consisting of national parties grouped along ideological lines. Media have focused on the gains made by the far-right Identity and Democracy party and the […]
