After the victory of the far right in the parliamentary elections in Saxony-Anhalt, special representative of the President of the Russian Federation Kirill Dmitriev wrote on his X: «I look forward to jointly building a great future together with ‘AfD’ — Germany’s most popular party». Russian authorities have indeed long supported this party, and elections in eastern Germany may affect the result of the federal elections to the Bundestag. However, not necessarily in favor of AfD.

The general public often treats postmodernist practices with a certain lack of seriousness—since historical religious dogmas can be ironically and bizarrely combined with thoroughly cynical modern «business pragmatism.» However, the growing number of victims of these postmodernist wars is all too real.

A week ago, Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party suffered a crushing defeat in parliamentary elections. Thus ended the Viktor Orbán era. For 16 years in power, he assumed that the benefits of close ties with Moscow would always outweigh the image costs. In reality, Hungarian voters wanted not only low prices for gasoline and gas, but also a European identity.

Today's Germany is a country of migrants. In some ways, even more so than the USA. From politics to culture, it has long relied on people with a migration background.

After traveling through Russia in 1839, the French aristocrat Astolphe de Custine wrote a book that still shapes Western politicians’ views of the country. But beyond criticism of Russian customs, it also contains an unexpected political theory.

Last week, the «Russian Volunteer Corps» finally published its program and ideological doctrine. «Finally»—because this nationalist formation, which switched sides to Ukraine in February 2022, has long called on the Russian opposition to unite. Of course, by default—under the banners of the RVC. In short, hopes for a proper evolution of Russian nationalists have not come true.

In the event of a shutdown, government agencies stop receiving funding, civil servants do not get paid, and consequently, most government institutions in the country cease to operate, except for those vital to life. The last time such an event occurred was six years ago—during Donald Trump's first presidential term.

Another round of conflict in the Middle East drags on: Israel is losing allies and facing new accusations. Can a new initiative from Donald Trump bring the country an honorable peace in this context? How justified are the criticisms leveled against the Jewish state—genocide, occupation, and colonization of Palestinian lands? And does the State of Palestine even exist, as Western countries have been recognizing it one after another recently? On the second anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel and the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, we try to understand this with Marianna Belenkaya, a journalist and Middle East expert, author of the Telegram channel «Falafelnaya.»

The war in Ukraine and the related increase in military spending in Europe, inevitably accelerating inflation, are leading to anti-migrant sentiments and, consequently, to the growing popularity of the far-right in several European countries. In Germany, according to the latest August public opinion poll, the rating of the right-wing populist and pro-Russian party «Alternative for Germany» reached 26% (the ruling Christian Democratic Union is in second place with 24%). Meanwhile, Russian drones have started entering NATO countries. We discussed the situation in Europe with sociologist Igor Eidman (the Russian Ministry of Justice considers him a foreign agent).

In September 2025, protesters from Nepal unexpectedly became the heroes of the global media. The ruling coalition of Marxist-Leninists, social democrats, and their allies attempted to block social networks, which sparked the «Generation Z Revolution.» Within days, the cabinet fell, and the interim prime minister — former Supreme Court judge Sushila Karki, the first woman in her position — was elected by protest activists in a Discord chat group.

Although the First Amendment, guaranteeing freedom of speech and the press, is still in effect in the USA and protects hundreds of prestigious editorial offices and thousands of talented journalists working in them, for some reason millions of Americans prefer to entrust their information services to very strange people. People who are either directly affiliated with a certain political movement and don’t even try to hide it, or simply lack any expertise in the matters in which citizens with the right to vote listen to them.
