United Kurultai. How parliamentary elections were held in Kazakhstan
Electoral procedures in autocracies are a special process. Here, what matters is not so much the official results themselves, but whether the system can first organize them without unnecessary noise and then sell them both inside the country and beyond its borders. And it seems that the current administration of Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has managed this quite well. A report by «Most» from Astana.

Were you bombed? We’ll take what’s left! The new pact between power and business in Russia
Soon after the AFU strikes on Ozon warehouses, it became known about Vladimir Putin’s decree on protecting infrastructure facilities. Its essence is simple: critical infrastructure facilities whose owners failed to ensure their security under conditions of external threats may be transferred to temporary state administration. The question of why business should perform the state’s duties does not even arise.

«Our country is unpredictable». How the fuel crisis is being endured in a town reachable only by road transport
Beloozersk is one of the oldest cities of the Russian North. The small town in Vologda Oblast, which can be walked across in an hour, has more than 50 cultural monuments, and its pearl — Lake Beloye — attracts tourists from all over the European part of Russia. But this summer the residents of Belozerye, which can be reached only by road transport, are having a hard time: because of the fuel crisis, five fill-ups of a passenger car cost locals an average monthly salary. A report from «Most».

What Happened on the Barricades at the White House in August 1991: The Personal Experience of a «Most» Author
August 19-21, 1991, with each passing year, become an increasingly mythologized distant past. The current authorities generally prefer not to recall them at all, even though many of their representatives would never have reached their current heights without those historic days. A whole generation has already grown up that simply does not remember. And those who do remember are increasingly critical of these events. They say, well, what was achieved? Was it worth it? Believe me – it was.

The Kuril Paradox. Why Putin Flew to Iturup
Last week, the Russian leader visited the Kuril Islands for the first time in the 26 years of his rule. This demonstrative trip sharply worsened Russian-Japanese relations. On the other hand, it was supposed to please the Chinese comrades

«Sometimes, when you look at the representatives of the European Commission who write the sanctions text, you want to ask: what exactly were you trying to achieve?»
The founder of the «Iskra» association, Gera Ugryumova, has been fighting discrimination against Russians in exile since September 2023. Before that, in order to obtain political asylum in Italy, she spent a year and a half processing documents for residence in the European Union — and for some time lived in shelters without an identity document or a bank account. Now the 24-year-old human rights activist, together with her team, helps compatriots in similar situations, and «Iskra» works only thanks to donations from private individuals. Right now, Gera is pushing European authorities to amend a regulation that prevents thousands of Russians in exile from opening bank accounts in European banks.

Saving Private Wildberries. Why the state is in no hurry to help Russia’s largest marketplace
Desperate pleas from Wildberries owners and sellers to the government are provoking a sluggish and chaotic response. And it seems the issue is not just a banal lack of money.

Why Russia’s collapse seems impossible today
Speaking in Kazan on August 6, 1990, the head of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, Boris Yeltsin, uttered the classic phrase: «Take as much sovereignty as you can swallow». Back then, at the end of Perestroika, the Supreme Soviets of all the union and autonomous republics of the USSR proclaimed their state sovereignty. And some later declared independence as well. But does anyone really think that this experience can be repeated today?

Migration crisis in Ceuta: what was that?

Privatization of the past. How Putin and his entourage earned political capital from Russian history
At the beginning of July, historian Konstantin Pakhalyuk’s book «In Search of »Russian Antiquity«» was included in the longlist for the «Provetitel» prize. With the kind permission of the publisher Chișinău: The Historical Expertise, which republished the book after its de facto ban in Russia, we are publishing the chapter «State Memory Policy in the Conditions of the ‘Conservative Turn’ (2012 — early 2022)», which explains why cynical Russian politicians and bureaucrats needed events from long ago.

Crying entrepreneurs as a symbol of Russian capitalism. What the strikes on Wildberries warehouses showed
After a series of massive strikes on Wildberries warehouses, hundreds of amateur videos with the same content appeared on social media: sellers, in tears, talk about multimillion losses and complain that the state offers them no help, while the marketplace’s payouts are incomparable to the damage suffered. In early July, Wildberries introduced a new version of its offer, recognizing drone attacks as force majeure — and is now no longer obliged to compensate sellers for losses. Economist Nikolai Kulbaka is convinced: all this is not the fault of one specific company, but a systemic pattern of modern Russian capitalism.

Say thank you too that you’re still alive. In Russia, they are introducing civil execution for political emigrants
During the discussion in the Duma of the new repressive law, Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin stated: «Those who left abroad and harm the country are not the opposition, they are traitors, they are criminals». A little earlier, he branded political emigrants with an even harsher word in the now-familiar style of Russian politics, calling the initiative «a law against degenerates». But apparently he was very nervous, so he accidentally inserted an extra word — «against».

«Fauda» sin señales de Hollywood. Cómo el 7 de octubre cambió la serie israelí más exitosa
El rodaje de la quinta temporada de «Fauda» debía comenzar en el otoño de 2023, pero el 7 de octubre lo cambió todo. Como resultado del ataque de Hamás, 1200 israelíes fueron asesinados y otros 251 quedaron como rehenes. Israel declaró por primera vez en los últimos 50 años el estado de guerra. Varios miembros del equipo de rodaje fueron movilizados, el productor de la serie, Matan Meir, murió durante su servicio en la Franja de Gaza, y el actor Idan Amedi, intérprete de uno de los papeles principales, sufrió heridas graves. Al principio se pensó en aplazar el trabajo, pero los autores comprendieron rápidamente que, por mucho que se retrasara, ya nunca sería posible filmar según el guion existente.
