Why Europe Still Sees Russia Through the Eyes of Marquis de Custine

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.

Russia Lost Its Wallet in Serbia: Its Oil and Gas Company NIS Went to Hungary and the UAE

Goodbye, America! Gorbachev’s «New Thinking» Lost to Trump’s MAGA

In January 1986, the newly elected General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, Mikhail Gorbachev, proposed that all countries in the world give up nuclear weapons. In 1988, in his book, he directly stated that universal human values are more important than class values. These ideas gave rise to the concept of «new thinking,» which changed much in international politics. Why didn’t these changes work, and why, forty years later, have we fallen into a historical abyss?

«The Hardest Winter in Four Years of War»

Old New Year has passed, the Christmas holidays are over, and 2026 has fully come into its own. The wild start to the new calendar stretch—Nicolás Maduro’s nighttime flight, the resurgence of piracy in the Atlantic Ocean, and blood-soaked Iran—may have pushed into the background the fact that we have now been living for four years in the largest war in Europe in the last 80 years.

What does Russia’s future look like after Putin? Scientific Director of the Levada Center, Lev Gudkov, responds

Sociologist Lev Gudkov has been studying public attitudes in Russia since the time of Perestroika. In the late 1980s, he worked at the All-Union Center for the Study of Public Opinion, from which he left in the early 2000s along with Yuri Levada’s team. From 2006 to 2021, Gudkov headed the Levada Center—the largest independent organization conducting sociological surveys in Russia—and then became its scientific director. Both the Levada Center and Gudkov himself have been designated as foreign agents by the Russian Ministry of Justice. Drawing on years of sociological surveys of post-Soviet society and the historical experience of countries that went through fascism in the 20th century, we spoke with the renowned researcher about the most likely scenario for Russia’s future.

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.

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.

We All Look to Napoleons. Can the Deployment of a Military Contingent from the «Coalition of the Willing» Help Ukraine?

At the beginning of September, a meeting took place in Paris with representatives from 35 countries interested in the activities of the «Coalition of the Willing.» The essence of this peacekeeping idea, conceived six months ago, is to station troops from Ukraine's allied countries on its territory.

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.

From a shaken Kremlin to the walls of immobile China. Is the Moscow-Beijing rapprochement dangerous for Europe?

From a rational point of view, China should be interested in preserving Europe as that part of the Western world that does not claim a global role but remains one of its economic centers. For Beijing, it would be preferable to deal not with one, represented by the USA, but with two versions of the West. If these considerations are valid, Chairman Xi is unlikely to advise President Putin to attack Estonia and promise him his support—in fact, it can be assumed that the China factor will contribute to containing the Russian threat to Europe rather than strengthening it.

«France Does Not Need Truth. It Needs Hope»

Already as president, de Gaulle liked to say that he was the only politician defending France's interests because he was criticized by both the left and the right. There is some truth to this.

The Path of Pétain: How a World War I Hero Surrendered France to the Germans During World War II

On August 15, 1945, the Supreme Court of France sentenced Marshal Pétain to death on charges of collusion with the enemy and treason. This historic verdict marked the end of the long journey of the World War I hero who became a symbol of French collaborationism with the Third Reich. It also marked the beginning of a harsh period of postwar purges and persecutions against French citizens who cooperated with the Vichy authorities. The personality of the marshal himself remains a subject of debate, speculation, and contradictions even 80 years later.

Where new guests sit at the feast prepared for them. Who and why votes for right-wing populists in Europe?

Right-wing populism is not a universal ideology, and everything beyond anti-globalist and anti-immigrant sentiments is subject to tactical moves that have their local characteristics depending on the local agenda. Yet, it is possible to highlight the reasons for the successes of right-wing populists using the example of Marine Le Pen's party in France.

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.»
