Horizon of Erik Bulatov
In Paris, they said farewell to Erik Bulatov (1933-2025) — a brilliant artist whose works became the most recognizable symbol of Moscow conceptualism of the 1960s-1970s. He himself remained one of the leading figures of contemporary Russian art until his last days, even gaining the status of a classic and living abroad for more than 30 of his 92 years.

So who are you, finally? Brigitte Macron against transphobes and conspiracy theorists
The trial began in Paris two weeks ago, accusing 10 people of online harassment of the First Lady of France. The accused — bloggers and internet publications prone to conspiracy theories — have for years spread rumors that Brigitte Macron was born a man and underwent gender transition. Neither the fact that the woman has three children from her first marriage, nor other obvious circumstances of her life, disproving such extravagant versions from the standpoint of common sense, stopped these claims.

Multiple-entry visas as a signal
The European Commission's decision to stop issuing Schengen multiple-entry visas to Russian citizens caused a lot of noise and once again divided the opposition. It would be good to calmly look at what happened and why. And the main question is — what happens next. Even a complete ban on Russians visiting Europe will not stop the war in Ukraine

What to do when Revolut closes accounts of Russian emigrants and Germany does not issue humanitarian visas
In early November, many EU residents of Russian origin faced account blocks in the neobank Revolut. This issue affected holders of type D visas and residence permits, as well as those awaiting documents in EU countries, with Revolut citing the recently adopted 19th EU sanctions package against Russia. The anti-war Russian community Kovcheg stepped up for those affected: its founder Anastasia Burakova sent a letter to European Commissioner for Financial Services, Financial Stability and Capital Markets Maria Luís Albuquerque and European Commissioner for Justice Michael McGrath. We spoke with Anastasia about this and other human rights initiatives of Kovcheg.

A November Socialist Revolution Took Place in New York
Despite its predictability, Mamdani’s campaign unsurprisingly attracted massive international attention. This marks the peak of political activism for Generation Z, which literally carried the 34-year-old regional legislator into the New York mayor’s residence.

«Gas Station Country» Without Gasoline
A fairly powerful and for many unexpected series of Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries can intensify the energy crisis in Russia. And this, in turn, will force the Kremlin to shift from military expansion into other countries to addressing its own socio-economic problems.

Being born different — and in the wrong country. Why people with disabilities in Russia remain second-class citizens
Society, raised on «traditional values» and contempt for difference, has grown hardened and blind, walling itself off from those who are not like everyone else with a barrier of indifference. And children with disabilities pay the highest price for this.

«All states were once self-proclaimed»
«I see no reason why democratic, free, independent Karelia, Ingria, Smalandia, or Amberland (even if some of these names still sound fantastical to some) couldn’t become part of the European Union or NATO in the foreseeable future,» says Ukrainian politician Oleg Magaletsky. A participant in the Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Pride, in 2022 he founded the Forum of Free States Post-Russia — an international discussion platform whose participants aim for the breakup of the Russian Federation into several independent states. Most.Media publishes his conversation with Vadim Shtepa, editor-in-chief of the magazine Region.Expert.
