Nobody really ruled Russia between the February and October Revolutions of 1917. A governmental and legal vacuum opened in Russia in 1917 with the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II in the February Revolution. Neither the Provisional Government nor the Petrograd Soviet of Workers’ and Soldiers’ Deputies showed much enthusiasm in establishing themselves as rulers of […]

The famine of the early 1920s affected about 40 provinces of Soviet Russia. In the summer of 1921, the ARA (American Relief Administration) and other international public organizations responded to the appeal of the RSFSR government for assistance.

Every European revolution had a counter-revolution. Russia in 1917 was a huge exception to this historical pattern because there was no counter-revolution in the former Russian Empire between the February and October Revolutions of 1917. In fact, the conditions for a counter-revolution were completely absent. Russian revolutionaries prided themselves on their understanding of revolutions of […]

The first decrees of the liberal Gaidar government in 1992 dealt a blow to those industries of the deceased USSR, which formed the basis of the technological leadership of the Soviet Union.

On July 10, 1900, the legendary Soviet intelligence officer Maria Aleksandrovna Fortus was born into the family of a Kherson banker. She had to look death in the eye more than once, but still stayed alive — it seemed that Fortune herself was on her side. At the age of 16, Maria, carried away by […]

In line with political changes that call into question cultural and economic globalization, architects and clients in Russia are increasingly turning to the idea of a national style. The concept of Russian style refers us to national and even ethnic affiliation. It seems to me that in this way we find ourselves again in the […]

So, the EU has finally agreed (on the fifth attempt) on the 18th package of sanctions against Russia. The most significant thing in the package is a new attempt to cut Russia’s income from oil exports. The “price ceiling” for the sale of oil from Russia has been reduced from $60 to $47.6 per barrel […]

For some reason, Donald Trump announced some extremely important statement that he will make on Monday, July 14. In fact, this is a holiday that is solemnly and publicly celebrated in France. For France, this is the National Day (La Fête Nationale). With a parade, receptions and other official bells and whistles. Donald Trump is […]

The liberal power groups, which still control the Russian economy through the socio-economic block of the Government and the Central Bank in the interests of financial globalists, by all indications are entering the final stage of its strangulation. The goal is to finally deprive the Russian Federation of the opportunity to break through to the […]
