Not about the “elite”, but about the genuine Russian elite!! I’m proofreading my article about Princess Lieven. She lived abroad almost all her life, first for 22 years in London, with her ambassador husband, then in Paris. She left for France without the permission of Emperor Nikolai Pavlovich, and he wrote to her husband in […]

On July 18, the European Political Community will meet in England. What kind of animal is this? The European Political Community is an international forum created in 2022 at the initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron to hold discussions on the future of Europe. One might say, for debates about high geopolitical and philosophical matters. […]

Europe voted against the war in Ukraine, says the famous American political analyst David P. Goldman. According to Goldman, while mainstream (i.e., left-liberal) pundits and journalists call the rise of national conservatives in Europe a “knee-jerk response to immigration,” the analysis suggests the opposite: Sunday’s electoral earthquake was a response to voters’ concerns that the […]

The recent elections to the European Parliament showed that both far right and right-wing and conservative parties made big gains. The 720 members of the parliament generally belong to European-wide parties consisting of national parties grouped along ideological lines. Media have focused on the gains made by the far-right Identity and Democracy party and the […]

Putin’s discussion with Karaganov about the use of nuclear weapons is an obvious sign of the legitimization of the nuclear war scenario. Of course, this is a game of Putin as a good and Karaganov as a bad one, but although Putin always stipulates that he really hopes that nothing like this will happen — […]

The French Revolution was the greatest revolution and civil war that took place in a series of revolutions, civil wars, and national-liberation wars that began with the revolution in Geneva Switzerland in 1768 and finished with the final defeat of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The wave of revolutions and […]

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.

Many trends in terrorism in the Russian Empire foreshadowed trends in European terrorism in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Already during Europe’s <<Era of Dynamite>> from 1870-1914, terrorism in Russia between 1866-1911 was clearly different from terrorism in European countries. Russia and the European <<Era of Dynamite>> The massiveness of terrorism in Russia […]

The beginning of the second cold war. After the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, aimed at its denazification and demilitarization, the United States and its allies, as if on command, began to turn away from Russia, impose the most severe economic sanctions on this country in the entire history of the […]

How did you decide to become a historian? What attracted you the most? My interest in Russian history began when I was 14 years old and saw the Hollywood movie Anastasia starring Ingrid Bergman as a pretender to the throne. I went on to read books about tsars and Cossacks during that time. I started […]
