“Music is the highest form of AI Art in the world” — slightly adjusted Leo Tolstoy. I immediately recalled — and slightly adjusted — a famous thought attributed to Leo Tolstoy in order to describe one of the great modern fantasies: the dream of becoming a fashionable hitmaker without enduring the old-fashioned inconvenience of actually […]

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 […]

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 […]

Hobbits attack: how 81% of Russians failed the scientific test, and critical thinking is now on the wanted list. April 1st is the only day of the year when even the most serious news requires a finger-swiping test. However, according to a recent VTsIOM poll, for 81% of our fellow citizens, April Fools’ Day lasts […]

We carefully listened to the report of Minister of Education to President. It was truly a pleasure to listen — the level of education was maintained (was it declining?), it wasn’t let go, all challenges were met, and all assignments were fulfilled. And school life is so favorable, even blissful — just like in the […]

How older humans greet each other in the cosmos. I was sitting in the waiting room of a doctor’s office last week when someone I hadn’t seen for many years came in. When he saw me, he said “Bob! How are you? You look great!” I don’t look great. Since I last saw him, my […]

Real income growth is happening! Citizens are wondering who exactly is getting it. “Dear Russians”—especially those who regularly read or listen to Rosstat or Central Bank reports—know well that citizens’ real incomes have been growing at a breakneck pace for five years in a row. There’s no escape. Russians no longer know what to do […]

And I don’t mean boys named Rocky Raccoons, I mean regular animals, who according to the recent studies are doing the best they can to get domesticated. Raccoons, you see, had figured out, on the genetic level at least, that to survive they had to accommodate to the people. So now they are looking more […]

From Gold Toilet to Gold Toilet: History of Modern Ukraine in One Image. I remember the original impetus of the Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity and their Maidan over-throw of government was the corruption of the president Yanukovich. To get people going, the so called rebels, i.e. the stooges of Victoria Nuland, were broadcasting the images […]

Dear Europeans! Whom do you trust: your own eyes or the Children of Baltic Communists who Enlighten you about Russian danger? I’ve been traveling through Europe rather extensively. Everywhere I see common, hard working people, proud of their work, and ready to enjoy its fruits. None of them has any issue with Russians. None. In […]
