Last year marked the 60th anniversary of Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin’s visit to Japan. Gagarin had not only visited this exotic country, but also returned the name of our legendary intelligence officer Richard Sorge from there. How did it happen? To the Land of the Rising Sun Yu.A. Gagarin flew on May 21, 1962, together with […]

I am constantly asked the question: “What do you propose we do?” My answer is: The new is the well-forgotten old. I propose to return to the “strategy of a madman” or in other words “the theory of a madman”, the author of which is Machiavelli. As far back as the 15th century, the Italian […]

I thought for a long time, what can the Supreme Commander be doing today if he does not plan to address the nation in connection with the attack of Ukrainian UAVs in Moscow? Peskov brought clarity. It turns out that today the head of state works in the Kremlin and plans to hold a meeting […]

Senator Chuck Grassley and Congressman James Comer, both Republicans, formally requested that the FBI submit an unclassified memo to Congress for investigation “depicting a […]

Commentators, out of habit, were flippant about yet another row in the US Congress over the national debt ceiling. They have a tradition. The Republicans refuse to raise the borrowing limit, the government runs out of money in all stash pockets, the parties noisily quarrel, then at the last moment before the default they find […]

History has a funny habit of repeating itself on a new coil of its spiral. As the classics said, first as a tragedy, then as a farce. History often surprises us with such zigzags. Let’s take a look at the times of Peter the Great. To persuade Mazepa to treason, Charles XII of Sweden sent […]
