Talents and Admirers. Why Contemporary Cinema and Audiences Love Biographical Films So Much

Public interest in the lives of celebrities has always been high, and in the era of the open world, the internet, and social media it has surged even higher. No wonder the popularity of memoirs, interviews, and documentaries about famous people has grown so much — in short, any nonfiction. The personality of an individual has become more interesting than the context in which that person lived.

World War by the Laws of Postmodernism: Putin and Trump Against Global Progress

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.

Migrants: The End of Europe? Is It True That Multiculturalism Has Failed in Germany

We continue the conversation about the «demise of beautiful Europe under the onslaught of barbarian migrants with their alien culture.» Such views are quite popular even among post-Soviet emigrants who have lived in the West for a long time. For example, among many of the more than a million Soviet Germans and Jews who moved to Germany. They genuinely worry that «Germany is not what it used to be.» It's high time to talk about how the German system works when it comes to cultural imports.

Who Really Committed Genocide Against the Soviet People — Hitler or Stalin?

In the place of the closed GULAG Museum in Moscow, a «Museum of the Genocide of the Soviet People» is being created. If we didn't know what a kingdom of crooked mirrors Russia is today, this could even be welcomed — after all, there really was genocide in the USSR. However, it was not at all the kind that the Russian authorities mean today.

Russia Needs Women’s Politics. For Now, Patriarchy Reigns Instead

There are women in the country ready to change politics and society. But mostly, only those who do not challenge the system make it into power. Dissenters are pushed out of politics or subjected to repression.

165 years since the abolition of serfdom. Why this date went unnoticed in Russia

In addition to the anniversary of Alexander II's main reform, it was recently 145 years since his assassination. Yet in the Russian information space, there was hardly any mention of either the abolition of serfdom or the fate of the Tsar-Liberator: his policies do not align well with the beliefs of the current authorities.

11 years since the murder of Boris Nemtsov. How this crime changed Russia

On February 27, 2015, politician Boris Nemtsov was shot dead in the center of Moscow. Since then, Russia has changed radically—not only politically, but morally as well. This crime became the point after which the authorities realized: nothing will happen for killing an opponent.

Every Fifth Job Opening Is in Sales. How the Labor Market Turns a Person into Sisyphus

Somewhere in a beautiful society of the future, which we will never see, the profession of sales manager will be classified as highly toxic, psychologically traumatic, and requiring rehabilitation after dismissal. Rehabs will open for former salespeople, and corporations will be required to pay them compensation for years spent in open-space offices where they were told: «If you didn't meet your KPI, you don't deserve love, lunch, health, or a roof over your head.»

A Hero of Our Time. In Memory of Alexei Navalny

Today marks two years since the death of Alexei Navalny. On the eve of the anniversary, five countries (the United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Germany, and the Netherlands) issued an official statement that several independent laboratories had confirmed his poisoning with an extremely toxic substance—in essence, a chemical weapon. Only the Russian authorities had both the means and the motive to use it in the polar colony. On the anniversary of Navalny’s murder, the editorial team of «Most.Media» publishes a polemical essay by our reader I.B. from Russia. The anonymity requested by the author is necessary: the Russian authorities continue political repression against Navalny’s supporters even after his death.

«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.

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.

The Only European. Why Philosopher Merab Mamardashvili Did Not Emigrate from the USSR

According to Mamardashvili, a human being is merely the potential to become a person. Preserving the person within the human requires constant effort. The same goes for Europe: to remain European, one must make an effort and cannot relax. A year after Mamardashvili’s passing, American philosopher Francis Fukuyama would declare the end of history, and Europe would relax. But history will return.

Eternal Life Near Zero

Two autocrats – and Chairman Xi – talked last week in Beijing about the perception of age (at 70, still boys) and eternal life, which will soon become possible thanks to organ transplants; in any case, living to 150 is not a problem at all. However, in the Russian case, the Constitution will have to be changed once again so that the presidential terms of the current head of state are not limited to 2036 but extend much further in time. But that is definitely not a problem.

The incredible story of Artemisia Gentileschi. How a 17th-century Italian female painter took revenge on the men who insulted her

A retrospective of Artemisia Gentileschi at the Jacquemart-André Museum — the main Paris exhibition of the current season. The curators tried not to linger too much on the scandalous details of their heroine’s biography, which are now well known, but rather to take a closer look at her art. However, without the story of the rape of 17-year-old Gentileschi, it is hardly possible to penetrate her artistic world. The mission was made impossible by the artist herself: her art is the answer to her own biography. How else to explain the anger and rage that guided her brush, and the very choice of subjects in which the woman always dominates the man or avenges her sullied honor?‍

The Reformer’s Curse. The Results of Elon Musk’s Brief Political Career

If we set aside ideological grievances against Elon Musk and try to impartially look at the path he has taken over the past few years, it can be quite disheartening. Not so much because of his series of personal failures, which ultimately led to the erasure of his reputation and distancing from the White House, but because of the failure of the very concept of bridging innovative business with politics. A concept that until recently seemed so meritocratically attractive and promising. ‍
