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 […]

Thomas Venclova expressed a fairly sensible idea: “Many in the Baltic countries and throughout Eastern Europe consider Russian nationalism to be an absolute evil, […]

In Japan, many things are deeply symbolic. For example, every dish that is served on the New Year’s table has its own meaning. Therefore, it is easy to guess that gifts also have a hidden meaning in this country. And if you present a gift to a person older than you (by rank or age), […]

Oil still remains the main source of export earnings for the Russian Federation. Judging by the report of the International Energy Agency, the actual weighted average price for Russian Urals oil (export by sea) under contracts implemented in July 2023 broke through the price ceiling set by the G-7 countries. This price was $64.41 per […]

Once in a while, every parent, to one degree or another, faces the disobedience of their child. In France in the 60s, even a kid named Nicolas was popular — a character in children’s illustrated books, on which more than one generation of French grew up. He is curious and restless, mischievous but a dreamer, […]
