The Sacrificial Holy Lambs

The world of Quisling’s followers, barbarian colonizers and submissive or at best frightened murmuring herd - this is the Western Europe of the 21st century

Fifty Shades of Green

"Progressive man" refuses to recognize the crimes of Islam, not because he is naive, fine-tempered or tolerant. He does it because, unconsciously or subconsciously, he has already accepted Islam as a religion of Salvation. As he accepted Stalinism, Hitlerism, Maoism and the "Khmer Rouge" before it...

The Comedy of Terrors: Western progressive thinking against culture, nature and man

Want to see Anti-Utopia? Look at the state of mind of the Western establishment. After Trump’s win, a huge part of enlightened America was plunged into mourning. Students were crying, teachers canceled lectures to calm them down, "hotlines" started working to help desperate people.

Nostalgia for gendarme

It is difficult to say who will be elected by American people, but the world (except sterile Western Europe) has made its choice. And this choice, in spite of formal logic, is the "racist," "sexist," "imperialist", "islamophobe" Donald Trump

EU-SSR: Bleeding Utopia

After the Brexit and recent attacks against migrants in Britain I can’t get rid of deja vu feeling. As if I’ve already watched this movie a quarter of a century ago. I know its end and it’s not a happy one.

The primordial world of Islam

The Islamic world of the Middle East is sinking into the gloomy and forgotten past: the Bronze Age, the world of slavery, human sacrifice, pedophilia, sexual sacred traditions, beliefs in conspiracies and now the most terrible - ritual cannibalism

The hypnotic dance of death

Cultural totalitarianism of the Postmodern era did the impossible - it changed the very nature of man In my correspondence regarding the events in Cologne, an editor of a Russian newspaper asked me a natural, but discouraging question; "Where were the German men?", he enquired of me, perplexed.

Collapsing Christianity, national identity, values, dignity - In name of what? to fight Islam

If you have NO OWN values to fight against Islam, you are doomed. “France is at war,” President Francois Hollande said after the Paris ISIS attack (as if Islamic terrorism hadn't struck before: - 9/11; Madrid in 2004; London in 2005; Boston in 2003; the Boston Marathon bombing'; countless acts of terrorism in Israel, Russia, Kenya, Nigeria, and finally "Charlie Hebdo"). Hollande is awakening from a dream, like the West is awakening in general.

Syria: Russia vs the West - One-way Street

Western leaders, the media and experts state the obvious: the Kremlin is trying to save Assad. Of course, yes, but principal points remain outside of the focus of their attention.

Putin, Obama and Iran: a choice in the absence of choice

"The prospects are bright, but the road has twists and turns". These are the words of Mao Zedong, but they could have belonged to Obama. Unfortunately, "twists and turns" will be so numerous, that not many will manage to see the “bright prospects”.

Obama’s Carte Blanche: Season of "Big Hunt" in Eurasia

Iran - another predator is set free during Obama's cadence They are not empires yet. They don’t have enough power or the resources for becoming such. However, all of them - Russians, Turks, Arabs, Persians - are dreaming about empires, recalling old conquests and victories. And all of them should be grateful to the West, and the US president in particular.

Self-inflicting Arm-twisting

Obama and his entourage did everything possible to make sure that the Middle East doesn’t perceive USA as a superpower anymore

“The Road to Happiness” According to Federica Mogherini

Right after taking office, Federica Mogherini, the new EU foreign minister, said she "would be happy if by the end of my term, a Palestinian state existed". Her words exactly - "would be happy".

“Heavily Shackled Humanity”

"I studied the Koran a great deal ... I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad". (Alexis de Tocqueville) ISIS is pure, uncomplicated Islam in its most genuine, original form

Middle East through the Looking Glass

Thomas Friedman's article is a reflection of an inverted world in which the West exists. A world where minor secondary characters are villains, where genuine villains never appear at the scene, and people are united by good intentions and ties of friendship.

The Praise of Folly

Not only are they ignorant of themselves, they cannot avoid falling into a ditch or stumbling over a rock in the path (perhaps they are bleary-eyed from studying or just absent-minded); yet they claim to know about abstract ideas, universals, separate forms, primary matter, quiddities, and different modes of being--objects so phantasmal I doubt Lynceus himself could make them out." -- Erasmus, In Praise of Folly (Folly, 56)

The Return of "The Horror of History"

While condemning the actions of Russia in Crimea, John Kerry said that the time of Empires is long gone; we live in the "21st century, and not in the 19th century". After speaking with Putin, Angela Merkel said that he lost touch with reality and that he lives “in another dimension”.

Israel – Arabs: Peace as a Reality

Those who talk about peace between the Arabs and Israel don’t know the half of it. In fact, this peace exists – moreover, in recent years it has become significantly stronger

War as a win-win option

“The people crave destruction of Israel!” These were the slogans thousands of people came with to a massive demonstration in Al-Azhar Mosque - the spiritual bastion of "Muslim Brotherhood" in Egypt. However remarkable this event was, it was left unnoticed in the mass media. It was the first mass demonstration against Israel, organized by the "Muslim Brotherhood", with Mohamed Morsi - the president of Egypt, as its representative.

Green Banner of Batu Khan

Following the prayer in the Moscow Cathedral Mosque, during his visit in February 2010, Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal admitted that in the Council of Muftis of Russia it felt like home. While it probably pleased the Russian leaders, in reality these words should have alerted them.
