In the city of Uchtensk, Bureaucracy lived. It never walked—it went through the proper approval process. It never spoke—it issued directives. Even its mirror reflected a person only after they presented valid identification. One day, a citizen attempted the impossible: to obtain a certificate stating that he existed. “Please fill out an application to receive […]

Eighty-five years ago, on June 22, 1941, the Great Patriotic War began. And today, more than ever, it is important to respond to the brazen falsehood about June 22—that the USSR was allegedly not preparing for war with Germany. It was preparing. And it was preparing on a massive, systematic scale, at the cost of […]

The mass disturbances in the Azerbaijani city of Sumgait occurred on November 7, 1963, the 46th anniversary of the October Revolution.

Yesterday, the world once again found itself on the brink of a historic event. No, not the discovery of a cure for all diseases, nor the establishment of world peace. Something far more important. Trump admitted that he wanted to award himself the nation’s highest military decoration. “There have been many of the greatest people […]
