Plague in Russia: death of a researcher, quarantine of 200 people, and WHO questions to the anti-plague institute — what is known and is there a threat to Israel
On October 8, 2026, the World Health Organization still does not have complete information about the death of 28-year-old Daria Shipilova, an employee of the Russian anti-plague institute in Irkutsk. The woman died of severe pneumonia, nearly 200 people who had contact with her were quarantined or under medical observation, and Russian authorities claim that […]
The Raphael Lemkin Society investigates how Russia is turning Ukrainian museums in temporarily occupied territories into a tool for rewriting memory

Raphael Lemkin gave the world the word “genocide”. A Polish-Jewish lawyer who studied in Lviv, he lost 49 relatives, including his parents, during the Holocaust. Later, his work became one of the intellectual foundations of the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention of the Crime of Genocide. But for Ukrainian history, Lemkin’s name has another […]
Why Putin “convicted” Bandera again: a fake court, a court historian, and a new “denazification of Ukraine”
The Russian aggressor state, after more than four years of full-scale war, has not been able to destroy Ukrainian statehood and force the Ukrainian people to abandon resistance. Therefore, for the domestic audience, the Kremlin once again resorted to the familiar Soviet cliché: if Ukraine resists Russia, then it is not the struggle of an […]
Not only ‘Galicia’: Russian national formations in the service of the Third Reich and the uncomfortable memory of World War II
Russian propaganda has been using World War II as a political weapon for decades. When it needs to attack Ukraine, it repeatedly recalls the SS Division ‘Galicia’, the battalions ‘Nachtigall’ and ‘Roland’, Ukrainian nationalism, individual episodes of collaborationism, and wartime crimes. But as soon as it comes to Russian formations that served the Third Reich, […]
Ukraine, the Horde, and ‘reverse colonialism’: what the new framework offers for discussing Russia and empires
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. At the center of his argument is the idea of “reverse colonialism”: a […]
Iran considers purchasing Russian tanker aircraft: why Tehran wants to expand its aviation capabilities
In Russian media, information appeared about a possible purchase by Iran of Russian tanker aircraft. According to available reports, the Iranian Air Force is considering acquiring such machines to expand the capabilities of refueling combat aviation directly in the air. This will allow fighters to perform longer flights and operate at a significant distance from […]
“Registration” by Glukhovsky: why the novel about the price of human life sparked controversy among Russians – and what does Israel have to do with it

On September 17, 2026, Dmitry Glukhovsky, the author of the famous “Metro 2033,” published a new novel “Registration.” He posted it in full, for free, on his own Telegram channel. The book about the pregnant girlfriend of a Russian contract soldier trying to urgently register a marriage gradually turns into a story about money, war, […]
14 senators demanded that Trump cancel Putin’s invitation to the G20 – ‘Russia is helping Iran attack American military personnel’

In Washington, Republicans and Democrats issued a joint appeal to the President of the United States. They demand not to allow Putin to attend the December G20 summit in Miami and directly link this issue to the Russian war against Ukraine and military support for Iran. For Israel, there is a separate aspect in this […]
How Israel condemned Russian strikes on Ukraine since 2022: from ‘a serious violation of the international order’ to ‘Russian attacks on Kyiv’
On September 25, 2026, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Russian attacks on Kyiv following the death of a 14-year-old Israeli citizen. But this statement is far from the first. Over four and a half years of war, Israeli diplomacy has several times directly named Russia, sometimes spoke more cautiously, and at certain periods […]
From Iran to Deir ez-Zor: why the Syrian nuclear dossier has become relevant again – and where Russia fits into this story

This article appeared now not because someone suddenly remembered the Israeli strike on Syria nineteen years ago. In September 2026, events occurred almost simultaneously that linked the current war over Iran’s nuclear program with the old, still not fully understood nuclear legacy of Bashar Assad — and with Russia’s “position” in both cases. On September […]
