Украина, Орда и «колониализм наоборот»: что предлагает новая рамка для разговора о России и империях

Ukrainian diplomat and expert of the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation Volodymyr Lakomov in a column for “Literary Ukraine” proposes a controversial but understandable thesis: the colonial experience of Eastern Europe cannot be described only in the language of “classical” modern empires.

50 years ago, the USSR started by imposing the idea “Zionism = racism” on the world, and modern Russia, in alliance with Iran and anti-Israel forces, continues to exploit the same narrative — only under new slogans.

50 лет назад СССР начал с того, что навязал миру идею «сионизм = расизм», а современная Россия, в союзе с Ираном и антиизраильскими силами, продолжает эксплуатировать тот же нарратив — только под новыми лозунгами

The Israeli Foreign Ministry reminded that on November 10, 1975, the USSR achieved the adoption of Resolution 3379, declaring Zionism a “form of racism”. Today, Russia, relying on Iran and its allies, repeats the same rhetoric under the guise of “fighting Nazism” in Ukraine. 50 Years Later: A Reminder from Israeli Diplomacy On November 10, […]

Could Russia have poisoned Lindsey Graham: why the version of the Russian trace does not seem fantastic

There is no direct evidence of the murder of American Senator Lindsey Graham today. But it is too early to completely dismiss the version of poisoning.
