The Russian Revolution of 1905-1907 was the first major European revolution with a terrorist component. Politically-motivated killings happened on a large scale in previous European revolutions, especially in the French Revolution of 1789-1804 and the European revolutions of 1848-1849. However, in the Revolution of 1905-1907, we are talking about terrorist acts conducted by organized groups. […]

The deaths of civilians in Gaza — random but numerous victims of war — are sad and terrible. Two unfortunate peoples who found themselves on the same territory and unable to reconcile are an open wound. Eighteen centuries after the expulsion, the Jews wandered, were despised, and again expelled from everywhere. The Holocaust, when some […]

On the night of October 30-31 – 26 years ago, the servant of God Joseph (Muñoz-Cortes) was killed, in monastic vows – Ambrose, 05/13/1948 – 10/31/1997, the chosen one of the Mother of God and the keeper of Her myrrh-streaming icon “Iveron-Montreal”.

“In the English city of Porton, in the Canadian Suffield, there are laboratories in which the causative agents of the most terrible epidemics that have ever struck humanity are stored. During the war, I had the opportunity to meet with a German doctor, a notorious Nazi, who cynically stated that it was necessary to destroy […]

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 cost of the project is estimated at more than 100 billion rubles. Compared to the investments of global industry players, the figures look modest: the world’s leading manufacturer […]

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. Already, at least 1,100 people have been killed since the Hamas terrorist group, which controls the Gaza Strip, launched an offensive […]

Today is October 3rd. Exactly thirty years ago, a bloody denouement began in the confrontation between the highest authority of the RSFSR, the Supreme Council, and the President of the RSFSR, which ended in the death of hundreds of civilians. 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 […]
