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 […]

Deputy Prime Minister Chernyshenko took part in the so-called demo day (sounds ominous) of the international accelerator Sber500, hosted by Sber and its Chairman of the Board, Gref, as part of the Moscow Startup Summit at SberCity. During the demo day opening, Chernyshenko thanked Sber as “a corporation that has built a veritable conveyor belt […]

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 […]

According to the highly respected University of Chicago professor, Robert Pape, who studies political violence, 39% of democrats would approve violent removal of Trump. This is scary. Furthermore, another poll suggests that 2/3 of American students think that it is OK to use violence against “offensive” speakers. This is all pretty disturbing and brings a […]

What do I think about the possible transfer of Tomahawk cruise missiles from the US to Ukraine? (1) They most likely won’t (probability over 90%) – there are numerous problems and risks, and no positive goal worth the risk that could realistically be achieved. There’s nothing to achieve.

Fifteen years of pastoral ministry have taught me a simple truth: being a Lutheran in Russia means constantly answering the question of what Russian Lutheranism is. There is no answer—there are six different answers, six paths that seem to lead to the same goal. The history of this diversity goes back centuries. The first Lutheran […]

Irresponsible, unemployed citizens are draining regional budgets. And the question is how does this square with historically low unemployment? The head of the Federation Council Matviyenko and Moscow Mayor Sobyanin proposed reconsidering the approach to paying for health insurance for able-bodied unemployed Russians from regional budgets and considering a mechanism whereby such citizens would bear […]

“What do you think of European Union”? — “I think it would a wonderful idea.” (Thanks, Mr. Gandhi for inspiration). The tendency is clear. The world is getting more and more united.
