Russian and Soviet theater director, teacher, and founder of the Moscow Art Theater, Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, was born on December 23, 1858. Nemirovich-Danchenko became fascinated with theater while still in high school. He set up a “windowsill theater” in his room. The young director assembled a troupe of actors from playing cards: kings, jacks, and queens. […]

The Russian Revolution of 1917-1922 as the Apocalypse of the 20th Century. More than 100 years have passed since the Russian Revolution of 1917-1922, but, in so many respects, this revolution is still a great unknown for us. We can say the same about other great revolutions in Europe. Asked what he thought was the […]

Why Western civilization is not our path. Three days before New Year’s 1909, the most powerful earthquake in European history, measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale, almost completely destroyed several Italian cities, including Messina, claiming the lives of nearly 200,000 people. The first to come to the aid of the survivors were Russian sailors from […]

As we look back on the outgoing and challenging year of 2025, I’d like to share my observations on how our people perceive the current situation. Not the self-appointed comprador elite of the 1990s, no, but those very people (I’ve had the opportunity to speak with various people), who are the bearers of those traditional […]

Some believe that the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II in March 1917 was the result of a “conspiracy of Duma deputies and generals.” This belief persists despite the fact that the February events in Petrograd have been studied in considerable detail by historical scholars. During World War I, Russia experienced a veritable boom in the […]

A New York Times article about a draft US-European peace plan allegedly developed in Berlin reads like yet another psyop in the fight to outsmart Trump. According to this article, two documents providing security guarantees to Kyiv were agreed upon in Berlin. They provide for strengthening the Ukrainian army, deploying European forces on Ukrainian territory, […]

The Council of the European Union has decided to freeze Russian assets worth 210 billion rubles and euros for an indefinite period. This essentially amounts to an indefinite freeze or veiled confiscation of sovereign assets of a foreign state, worth approximately a quarter of a trillion US dollars. A statement from the Council of the […]

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 […]

So there are pragmatic political systems, when politicians are not restrained by sloppily or sophisticatedly concocted ideology. Such was the capitalism of the laissez-faire period, or today’s China, Russia and even Trumpism. And there are ideologically driven political systems. Nazism, Soviet Socialism and now Wokism that took over United States and EU. Since I did’t […]

Russian oligarchs are frantically trying to sell their remaining foreign assets. Even at a loss, they’re trying to sell them, not give them away. However, overall, things aren’t going so well. Back in 2024, large Russian companies were first faced with sanctions on the purchase of equipment and consumables for scheduled maintenance of their imported […]
