The Origins of Mass Political Terrorism in the Modern World. Mass terrorism was born in Russia. Terrorism — organized, armed violence against governments and societies — did not begin on September 11, 2001 with the attacks by Al-Qaida in the United States. Although politically motivated killings have happened over the centuries, terrorism as a specific […]

About the expulsion of the Palestinians in 1948, I read a lot of materials from both sides, probably a whole library. The exile symbol was the massacre in Deir Yassin, and I think that Israeli nationalists then greatly damaged something in the basis of the idea, the dream of re-establishing Israel. As for the idea […]

The Russian authorities intend to create mechanical engineering for microelectronics in the country virtually from scratch by 2027, developing equipment for all cycles of semiconductor production.

The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting behind closed doors amid the war between Israel and the Gaza Strip, but failed to reach the unanimity needed to pass a joint statement or resolution.

On the evening before October 2, the Chairman of the Communist Party of the Russian […]

I previously read the book by Sergei Shargunov, which formed the basis of the film. The book is larger and deeper, which is only natural. The film itself was shot professionally and conscientiously. Of course, this is not a document, although some shots almost document the chronicle. The main advantage of the film: this is […]

The conflict in Ukraine could escalate into an international one, and the use of nuclear weapons is also possible — a new report has been released about this by the RAND Corporation, traditionally called the “shadow CIA” and the “Pentagon at a distance.” RAND publishes three possible scenarios for “unintended” escalation: 1. If a Russian […]

The authoritative scientific journal Nature Geoscience published the results of many years of research by an international group of scientists about the future of planet Earth. Frankly speaking, there is little comfort. Statistics of changes in the Earth’s geosphere and biosphere were analyzed using a supercomputer and AI. Modeling has shown that in the next […]

Japan, at first glance, is some kind of an incredible tangle of paradoxes. One first impression is enough. For instance, how is it possible that although people get to see little of anything other than work, working 70 and sometimes 100 hours a month, and literally die at work (there is even a special word […]

Rupert Murdoch, the great and terrible Wizard of the media world, has stepped down as chairman of two conglomerates — Fox Corp and News Corp — ending a phenomenal career spanning more than seven decades. Murdoch managed to create the greatest media empire in human history, stretching from Australia to the United States. He seemed […]
