In national folklore, which frequently reflects and perpetuates national stereotypes, Ukrainians are the smartest. Through all sort of tricks they always outsmart everyone, from petty devils to Russians. Even Jews frequently come as losers when confronted by a skillful Ukrainian con-artist.

The Orthodox teaching on dreams is that we shouldn’t believe them and interpret them, but dismiss them, because they may come from the devil. SPIRITUAL VISIONS Does the Orthodox faith believe in revelation of spiritual visions through dreams? The answer to this question is a bit on the complex side. The Church could hardly deny […]

Trump did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize. This was expected, given the liberal views of the committee members, and yet there is a certain irony in the way the prize controversy was resolved. “The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to a courageous and dedicated woman in the fight for peace — a woman […]
