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.

No, we will not all die. What the Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded for this year
This year’s Nobel Prize in Economics was shared between economic historian Joel Mokyr and the creators of the «creative destruction» model, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt. And this is good news for those who fear that AI will destroy humanity or that China will conquer the world. For Russia, the laureates’ works contain an answer to why a country with talented scientists and engineers is lagging behind in this race.

«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.

Trump and His Shutdown: Why the US Government Isn’t Working Since October 1
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.

There is a formidable court: it awaits. Some details of the trial and verdict of Nicolas Sarkozy
The verdict for former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was announced at the end of September in a Paris court and naturally sparked a storm of emotions and commentary. For the first time in history, a French president has been found so guilty that, according to the court, he deserved a punishment of imprisonment without the possibility of reduction to a suspended sentence or application of other leniency measures.

Putin: Birth and Rebirth
Today turns 73. He intends to live—that is, to rule—until the end of his days, though it’s not yet clear whether they will be his own or yours. And if you want to drink champagne to the repose of his soul (in which, admittedly, there are doubts), you’ll have to wait another twenty or thirty years. And I’m not being ironic. I’m talking about a sensible life strategy.

«Israel Could Not Fail to Respond on October 7. But What Will the Outcome Be?»
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.»

«Away from Moscow! Give us Europe!» How Ukrainian authors revived national culture and perished in Stalinist repressions
The brief period of the rise of Ukrainian literature and art in the 1920s-30s is called the «Executed Renaissance.» The intellectual and creative atmosphere of those years was so enticing that emigrants fleeing the Civil War began moving to Ukraine. But the golden age ended as abruptly as it began. «Most.Media» recalls the tragic biographies of the participants in this movement.

«Trump, better take the Ural Federal District, we’ll pay you extra»
«Most.Media,» in collaboration with the magazine «Region.Expert,» launches a regular weekly review of events occurring in the fields of regional politics, economy, and culture. For many Russian media, as well as for free Russian-language publications outside Russia, this topic often still seems secondary and provincial. But such a snobbish-centralist approach has repeatedly failed — throughout various historical changes, Russia’s geographical borders have shifted, and many former provinces of the empire became independent countries. If we aim to look to the future, some promising trends need to be tracked and analyzed today.

Dissatisfaction with the Personnel Stalemate Grows Around Putin
At the highest level of Russian power, there is almost no renewal. Many elite members have been waiting for a major reshuffle for over 10 years, but it still hasn’t happened.

Tax burden on Russian citizens will rise to 65%. The reason — the war in Ukraine
The Ministry of Finance announced the initial budget parameters for 2026 and 2027-28, as well as changes in tax legislation that will help implement this budget. And this is a wartime budget.

Is Europe Ready to Confront Russia? NATO Countries’ Reactions to Provocations in Their Airspace Raise Doubts
An effective way to stop Russian military provocations could be NATO’s shift to a proactive strategy. So that it’s not European countries fearing the arrival of Russian drones or fighter jets, but rather Russia itself fearing unexpected «visits» on its own territory. Ukraine has already shown how this is done, reaching Russian military and energy facilities thousands of kilometers from its borders with its drones. But will there be politicians in Europe willing to declare their intent to fundamentally dismantle the aggressive empire threatening the entire free world?

«Put me back in prison!»: When patriotism turns into Stockholm syndrome
Dictatorships have a tendency to completely distort the phenomenon of patriotism. Natural human sympathies for the nature and culture of their country are replaced by demands for unconditional loyalty to the ruling regime. Saltykov-Shchedrin already noted this, reflecting on those who confuse the concepts of «Fatherland» and «Your Excellency.» Later, a grim Soviet joke appeared: when the state needs something from its citizens, it calls itself the «Motherland.» And always with a capital letter. Under such conditions, patriotism turns into a form of Stockholm syndrome, where hostages begin to sympathize with their captors.

«There will be no mass raids on migrants in Germany like in the USA»
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).

Nepal: In Eternal Expectation of a Benevolent King
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.

The Birth of a Propagandist. How TV Host Vladimir Solovyov Died to Journalism
It's hard to believe that Vladimir Solovyov was once a respected journalist known for being a courageous interlocutor. Today, he is one of the main mouthpieces of the war that Russia unleashed in Ukraine. At one time, I personally witnessed and, to some extent, was a victim of this metamorphosis.

«The Second Holocaust» or a Myth Against Israel? Is It True That the History of the Jewish State Began with Mass Killings and Deportations of Arabs
It cannot be said that before World War II, Palestinian Arabs unequivocally supported the expulsion of Jews back to Europe. Thousands of Muslims worked successfully at Jewish enterprises, rented land from Jews, traded with them, or simply coexisted peacefully with people of different faiths. The conditional point of no return can be marked as the summer of 1937.

American-Style Rightness
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.
