In the second round of the presidential elections in Iran, 69-year-old heart surgeon, former Minister of Health, and politician from the camp of moderate reformers Masoud Pezeshkian won. Compared to his predecessor Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a plane crash, Pezeshkian is much more democratic in his rhetoric and is determined to return Iran, as […]

Sounds interesting, right? Read on: “Two English women were verbally attacked for swimming in the pool of a Sicilian hotel in Islamic swimwear over the weekend. Two tourists, aged 19 and 25, from London, were attacked by two male hotel guests, Italian citizens. One one of them said: “Who knows what you are hiding under […]

A very interesting article by the famous French journalist and writer Renaud Girard in Le Figaro under the title “Why America defends Ukraine so much.” Let me emphasize that Renaud Girard is not pro-Russian (although some commentators consider him as such and are outraged that he is allowed to write in such a respected newspaper!) […]

In France, preparations are in full swing for early parliamentary elections – two rounds will be held on June 30 and July 7. Judging by the polls, Macron is flying over Paris not even with plywood, but with a downed Mirage plane, which he promised Kyiv in vain. National survey data as of June 17: […]

An intrigue is unfolding in France with big consequences for future national elections. Immediately after the deafening failure of Macron’s Renaissance party in the European Parliament elections, splits, clashes and regroupings began throughout the political field of France. Left parties rushed to form a “popular front” against the offensive of the “terrible right” represented by […]

I watched the movie “Sister”. Here, finally, is a film not about evil, but about kindness. Or even like this: about Kindness. Director Alexander Galibin made his film based on the story of the wonderful Bashkir writer Mustai Karim “The Joy of Our Home”. The story is quite simple. In a Ukrainian village destroyed by […]

The topic of the use of nuclear weapons is a difficult question for the mind and heart. In recent years, the world has quickly accustomed us to all varieties of madness, turning things that were completely absolute yesterday into something relative and thus freeing our brain not only from the remnants of common sense, but […]

Part 1. Comparing the Russian Revolutions of 1905-1907 and 1917-1922 to other revolutions in different countries and regions has its risks. In general, it is safest to set the Russian revolutions in the entire history of European revolutions beginning with the revolution of 1768 in Geneva, Switzerland and finishing with the Russian Revolution of 1917-1922. […]

Just how unique were the Russian Revolutions of 1905-1907 and 1917-1922? Both revolutions had their elements of uniqueness, but you can determine their uniqueness only by setting these revolutions in the entire history of European revolutions beginning with the revolution of 1768 in Geneva, Switzerland and finishing with the Russian Revolution of 1917-1922. This means […]

Tucker Carlson seems to be a smart guy, he is quick witted, he hammers like an electric broom. Tucker Carlson is clearly well educated and even quite erudite (although he doesn’t know Russian history at all, but this is not surprising for a Westerner in general, and an American in particular — they are Western […]
