«The Church Blesses the Warriors.» Report from the Pre-War Concert by the Kremlin Walls

On August 6, a gala concert of the «SVO Ballads» festival took place in Moscow’s Zaryadye Park. It was organized by Monk Kiprian — a veteran of the Afghan war, Hero of the Soviet Union, and a fan of singer-songwriter music in civilian life. A correspondent from «Most» reports on how it all unfolded.

Why Russia failed to transform from an empire into a federation? And is it possible now?

Today, many representatives of national-regional movements in political exile have a clear disappointment in the Russian federal project, since it has repeatedly (both after 1918 and after 1991) led only to yet another revival of a centralist empire. Therefore, they find no common ground even with the new liberal opposition, which in its dreams of a beautiful future Russia sometimes oddly repeats Kremlin unitarist ideas.

New Klondike? What Russian Marketplaces and Gold Mines Have in Common

Most participants in the Klondike Gold Rush died in poverty. But for some, this era still helped them get rich. For example, entrepreneur Levi Strauss, who created the legendary jeans. Their durable fabric and rivets in the corners of the pockets were made specifically to meet the needs of the prospectors. The winners were also saloon owners, equipment sellers, and food suppliers—in short, everyone who supported the work of the gold miners. So, the Russian consumer market in the last three years resembles such a Klondike. Only instead of searching for yellow metal, people are engaged in trading on marketplaces, which seem to be a new golden bottom of the Russian economy.

50 years ago, the Helsinki Accords changed the world. But not in the way their authors intended

In August 1975, in Helsinki, 35 countries from Europe and North America, from the USSR and the USA to Malta and Luxembourg, signed the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE). This treaty became the pinnacle of the détente period (a policy of easing international tensions), when the West and the Soviet bloc tried to implement the principle of «peaceful coexistence» at least on one continent.

How America Became One of the Most Hostile Countries for Immigration and Political Asylum

Since early 2022, thousands of opponents of the Russian invasion of Ukraine have tried to seek asylum in the US — only to face tightening immigration policies. With Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, those who hadn’t secured legal status in previous years found themselves in direct danger. Since early 2025, US authorities have deported two activists to Russia — Vladimir Mashinin and Leonid Melekhin. The first managed to escape; the second was placed in pre-trial detention last week for two months due to anti-war statements made in previous years. Julia Nikolaeva, a US immigration lawyer of Russian origin practicing in San Francisco for 15 years, confirms that the situation for asylum seekers in the States has significantly worsened, as has the overall attitude of authorities toward foreigners. We spoke with her about this.

Tragedy in Olenivka: Three Years Searching for the Truth. How Mariupol Defenders Died in a Russian Colony

Relatives of the deceased and surviving comrades-in-arms, many of whom are still in captivity, continue the fight to establish the truth. However, the prospects for justice remain unclear. No international tribunals have been established for Olenivka, and all collected evidence remains part of broader investigations into Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine. Ukrainian investigators promise to bring the case to court – if not now, then after the war.

Satanism: Invented and Real. Why Putin Resembles Madonna More Than Reagan

Last week, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation declared the non-existent «International Satanists Movement» extremist. It's surprising that a phenomenon of Western pop culture like satanism still causes moral panic among Russian authorities.

Why being labeled a «foreign agent» in Russia is neither a «medal» nor a «recognition of merit»

Foreign agents, extremists, individuals cooperating with «undesirable organizations,» and other types of «enemies of the people.» In Russia, these labels are imposed weekly on writers, poets, journalists, scientists, civil activists, human rights defenders, and simply people with a conscience—along with criminal and administrative cases, inclusion in various lists, and outrageous legislative demands. Some call these statuses a «recognition of merit» and a special title to be proud of. I will try to explain why this is not the case.

«Everything is moving towards any consumption of uncensored information being punished in one form or another»

In Russia, they are preparing to punish people for searching for uncensored materials on the internet — including using VPNs. For Belarusian citizens, this has long been an everyday reality: for several years they have lived under a ban on access to independent information. In an interview with «Most,» Belarusian political scientist Artem Shraybman explains the difference between Russian and Belarusian censorship and what lessons from Belarusian digital resistance can be applied in Russia. He also discusses how the Lukashenko regime is evolving, what is happening with emigration, what to expect for political prisoners (including Maria Kolesnikova), and how the release of Sergey Tikhanovsky affects the Belarusian opposition in exile.

Has Putin managed to ride Stalin?

By creating a cult around the image of the past, tries to justify his own authoritarian rule, great-power chauvinism, and external aggression. However, at some point, the reincarnation of Stalinism began to turn against its creators, taking on an oppositional tone.

Comrades, do not believe in the Entente’s pacifism. The new Franco-British alliance is taking real shape

There are only two nuclear powers in Europe: France and the United Kingdom. Their combined strength is less than the arsenals of Russia and the USA, but fully sufficient to inflict unacceptable damage on an adversary. While Russian aggression in Ukraine continues and US commitments within NATO do not appear reliable, the stance of leading European countries on nuclear deterrence takes on particular significance.

«What Keeps Me From Forgetting My Homeland?» Russian Authorities Intensively Prepare Young Influence Agents Around the World

Recruitment of foreign youth has always been part of the KGB’s work abroad. But never before have Soviet special services had such fantastic opportunities as those now available to the Russian ones—when the Russian-speaking diaspora numbers in the tens of millions.

Hoping for Europe – You’ll Hope for a Hundred Years. How the EU Is Searching for Its Place in the New World

It is clear that the main strategic direction of the EU (in alliance with the United Kingdom) today must primarily focus on achieving autonomy in the field of security. This means arms production, training capable armies, and creating new command centers, either within NATO or alongside it – while simultaneously maintaining political and economic stability in Europe. Altogether, this represents a complex challenge, as European citizens wish to continue living peacefully, enjoying numerous social guarantees without giving up their accustomed way of life.

NATO without the USA: Kremlin’s dream or a nightmare?

Recently, Republican Senator from Utah Mike Lee introduced a bill to withdraw the USA from NATO, calling it the «Unreliable Organization Act.» This came immediately after the two-day Alliance summit in The Hague. Mike Lee stated that «NATO has fulfilled its role» and accused the European members of the organization of «making American taxpayers pay their bills for decades.»

Between the USA and Iran: How Russia Is Trying to Benefit from the New War in the Middle East

The question of the US entering Israel’s war with Iran remains the main topic on the agenda today. On June 12, the White House officially stated that the United States «is taking a defensive stance» and does not plan to intervene in the fighting for now. Meanwhile, American President Donald Trump repeatedly demanded that both sides «make a deal,» and recently insisted on Israel’s unconditional surrender. ‍

«You sit and think that God will punish you»

In 2023, when the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation declared the non-existent «International LGBT Social Movement» an extremist organization, the Russian queer community finally went underground. For distributing any content mentioning LGBT, you can receive a hefty fine or even a criminal case. Stores stopped selling books with stories about same-sex love, online cinemas are deleting series and films with queer characters, and the social network VKontakte blocks search queries about LGBT. Queer people who agreed to talk about ways to preserve their identity under these conditions were forced to hide even for phone interviews—in friends’ apartments, or even in the forest.‍
