The holy 90s, as Naina Yeltsin called them, if not to talk about my happy personal life, about my dear friends — this is a series of pictures that turn the heart into stone. October 4, 1993 — The plot on TV: The journalist is fussy, lively, spinning around the bodies of those killed in […]

I thought for a long time, what can the Supreme Commander be doing today if he does not plan to address the nation in connection with the attack of Ukrainian UAVs in Moscow? Peskov brought clarity. It turns out that today the head of state works in the Kremlin and plans to hold a meeting […]

History has a funny habit of repeating itself on a new coil of its spiral. As the classics said, first as a tragedy, then as a farce. History often surprises us with such zigzags. Let’s take a look at the times of Peter the Great. To persuade Mazepa to treason, Charles XII of Sweden sent […]

The movement of oil supplies from the Russian Federation from the European direction to China has accelerated sharply. With accelerating economic growth, China is changing its oil import strategy. Between November 2022 and January 2023, Chinese state oil companies refrained from explicit and bulk purchases of oil from the Russian Federation. Apparently, they had a […]

The Russian military special operation is one of the most discussed topics in the world media. The attitude to what is happening in Ukraine back in 2014 split the world into “before” and “after”, and eventually led to the current world confrontation and direct conflict between Russia and Ukraine in February 2022. Russia found itself […]

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 […]

Now in the world it is more alarming than ever. In fact, it is on the verge of a nuclear conflict between the two largest powers. The stumbling block in tense relations between Russia and the United States was the special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. But what are the interests of […]

Pyongyang’s nuclear capability is increasing, but international capacity or interest in dealing with them is limited. The details vary, but the picture is immediately recognizable: a salvo of missiles followed by chilling new rhetoric. This time, North Korean state media claimed that the recent flurry of tests simulated strikes against targets in South Korea and […]

Immediately after the explosion on the Crimean bridge, adviser to the office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak declared Ukraine’s responsibility for the explosion on the Crimean bridge. He posted a post on Twitter, where he stated that everything “illegal” should be destroyed, and wrote “Crimea. Bridge. Beginning.” On the morning of October 8, […]

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 […]
