In Russia, 70 percent of marriages break up. The worst, by the way, are in the Caucasian republics. In purely Muslim Ingushetia, there are two and a half divorces per registration, it seems that everyone there has decided to divorce everyone. Traditional marriage is not in crisis there, but in collapse. In Chechnya and Dagestan, […]

Personnel is politics. This is the American version of the famous Soviet maxim. The think tank “Third Way” is involved in the project. The center’s task is to select federal functionaries (mainly many hundreds of political appointees) who would correspond to centrist, moderate principles, and would not be political left-liberal activists, of whom there were […]

In a world of carefully constructed, cultivated and bred madness, it is quite logical that one of the few decent European politicians, Robert Fico, becomes the victim of an assassination attempt. It is even more logical that the assassin is a mature product of this new variety of society, where mass aggressive flawed ignorance inevitably […]

Japan has 2.24 million vending machines, making it the country with the most vending machines per capita. Vending machines can easily be found on every street, in hospitals, office buildings, and even on the top of Mount Fuji. On the other hand, the Japanese are constrained in communication and rarely start conversations with strangers. For […]

Historians generally agree that the People’s Will [Народная Воля] suffered a major defeat because it did not overthrow the government after the assassination of Tsar Alexander II on March 1, 1881. At best, the assassination was a Pyrrhic victory because the successful assassination was accomplished at too great a cost for the People’s Will. The […]

The clash of different cultures always gives rise to conflict, which has various forms and consequences. Large-scale industrialization and associated urbanization in the USSR led to a massive migration of people from the countryside to the cities. Despite the fact that this process lasted for decades, overall it went quite quickly. While in 1917 about […]

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), […]

Naoko Watanabe, 90, has been living alone in her tiny Tokyo apartment for 20 years. After the death of her husband, a teddy bear donated by the local authorities became her best friend. The soft toy has become like a native, you can caress it and stroke it. And in case of an emergency, press […]

It is pointless to look for a way out in a hopeless situation — it is not there. However, history knows many examples when, in force majeure circumstances, a strategist changed the circumstances themselves and already in them, instead of avoiding losses, received new great opportunities. 60 years of the XI century AD the Song […]

The persistent interest in Japan among the Russian people is not very similar to the craving for exotic. About forty years ago, it was still possible to amaze the imagination of my compatriot with bright miracles. But now … Millions of Russians have already traveled to all parts of the world, but interest in Japan […]
