The authorities’ explanation that Telegram’s very existence poses a threat to the state and society is utterly unconvincing. Let’s focus on the deeper reasons behind this decision: it fully fits into the “confessed” principles of state governance by the “Order of the Ruling Bureaucracy” — excessive administration of all processes in society. For example, the […]

Dedicated to Dostoevsky Days: August 7 to 16, 2026, in Tokyo and Osaka. The enduring fascination of the Japanese public with Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky is not merely a niche literary preference but a cornerstone of modern Japanese identity. For over a century, Dostoevsky has served as a mirror for a nation navigating the turbulent waters […]

Our subject of Russian history is the state-forming people and the political nation. The Russian people exist as a political nation, and it is precisely due to the characteristics of their national principles that they have always been able to rally people of other ethnic identities around themselves. For example, in Alaska, the Aleuts always […]

These numbers will make you wake up in a cold sweat. 43%. That’s how many people worldwide seriously fear that artificial intelligence will leave them jobless in the next two years. These aren’t just statistics—they’re an epidemic of fear sweeping the planet. Every morning, millions of people open the news and read scary headlines: “AI […]

Russia, not the Czech Republic or other Slavic countries, has been and remains a bastion of Slavicism. It’s the fifth year of Russia’s war against the West, which for the first time in history has fully united. It was only due to our “Europeanism syndrome” (according to Danilevsky) that the West was able to use […]

For the first time, the West, in the form of the USA, declares a claim to Global Dominance and a Unipolar World on behalf of the entire Western Civilization. Rubio’s speech on February 14, 2026 at the Munich Security Conference is primarily presented in our media as evidence of disagreements between the EU and the […]

I haven’t retired. I still work. And frankly, I resent anyone thinking otherwise. It happened again this morning. I was in the locker room of a local gym when someone I didn’t know asked me: “So, are you retired?” I mumbled something indecipherable and looked away. I hate that question. Just as bad is: “So, […]

Trump is actively destroying it. “We are just getting started,” Trump’s secretary of “war,” Pete Hegseth, said yesterday, adding that the attacks on Iran will escalate, with “death and destruction all day long.” So far more than 1,000 civilians have been killed in Iran, according to human rights monitors, including 180 children, most of them […]

What I tell parents of abnormally short children. I’m very short. At my zenith I was 4 feet, 11 inches. From time to time, worried parents of abnormally short children phone or email me seeking reassurance. I tell them that if they or their children are desperate, they can resort to limb-lengthening surgeries, growth hormone […]

The world has gone crazy… but that’s not news, everyone knows that. The news is that we’re paying for this madness with a credit card and feeling almost happy about it. Have you ever noticed: people have stopped looking at each other. On the subway, in cafes, in line at the doctor’s—screens are everywhere. We […]
