PayPal from Butyrsky Val. Why the American payment network obeys Rosfinmonitoring

If you still retain Russian citizenship but are critical of its authorities, be careful using PayPal as a payment network. Be prepared for your account to be blocked overnight, with no chance to withdraw whatever funds you have left there.

«Iranians have accumulated too much hopelessness; they no longer believe in their system»

Unprecedented mass anti-government protests continue in Iran—something never before seen in the history of the Islamic Republic. While Donald Trump makes vague promises to help the protesters and progressive Western public opinion remains silent, the number of Iranians killed by the regime may already be in the hundreds. Reliable information about the situation in the country is scarce: in Iran, it’s «tradition» to shut down the internet in such cases. Iran expert, Telegram channel author, and writer of «All Iran» Nikita Smagin (the Russian Ministry of Justice considers him a foreign agent) explains why the Islamic Revolution has erupted in mass protest, what the ayatollahs fear, and what lessons the Kremlin might draw from the situation in this eastern country.

The End of Illusions. In the very first days of the new year, the Kremlin suffered a series of painful blows from the US

First came the nighttime abduction of the friendly Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, then the boarding of two «shadow» tankers in the Atlantic, and now the announcement of «bone-crushing» sanctions that Congress had postponed all of last year. It seems incredible that less than two weeks ago, pro-government media in Russia were seriously anticipating a rapprochement between Moscow and Washington and predicting diplomatic isolation for Kyiv. The «spirit of Anchorage,» which Kremlin propaganda so eagerly inhaled last autumn, has completely dissipated by winter.

«If Putin decides to attack Europe, he’ll need to do it while Trump is in power»

Until the early 2020s, Abbas Gallyamov was integrated into the Russian power structure: he worked as a speechwriter for Vladimir Putin when he was prime minister, as a political consultant in regional elections, and as deputy head of the administration of the president of Bashkortostan. But after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, Gallyamov left for Israel, was labeled a foreign agent by the Russian Ministry of Justice, and last year was sentenced in absentia to eight years for «discrediting the Russian army.» We spoke with Abbas about the changing world order after Trump’s election, the prospects of a Russian invasion of an EU neighbor, and how friends of Putin’s younger daughter are quietly preparing to take power into their own hands.

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.

Heeding the Horrors of War: What Consequences Could the New World Order in Ukraine Have for Europe

The fewer economic, cultural, and simply human ties between Russia and European countries, the more conflict stories there are, the easier it will be to turn toward a possible military clash. No one in Europe wants such a development, but a peaceful Russian-Ukrainian agreement as imposed by the American administration looks like a respite for the aggressor. Therefore, Europe and Ukraine need to build a new structure to deter Russia together, without wasting time.

«All holders of Russian passports end up on the blacklist. There simply aren’t any white lists anymore»

One of the main economic news stories this week for Russian citizens is the European Commission’s decision to include Russia in the list of high-risk jurisdictions. Officially, it is set to take effect at the beginning of January 2026. We speak with anti-corruption expert and founder of the NGO «Arktida,» Ilya Shumanov, about what problems to prepare for after the New Year holidays—and what his own plan is.

«Son, don’t trust this document—they will deceive you»

On December 5, 1994, Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum with three nuclear powers who guaranteed its security and independence in exchange for giving up its stockpile of nuclear weapons. This agreement was supposed to prevent any conflict between Ukraine and Russia. But it turned out to be a useless piece of paper.

«I can’t return to Russia. But staying in the US is also unsafe»

After Donald Trump returned to power, many Russian political emigrants found themselves facing the threat of deportation from the US. In the summer of 2025, one of them, Leonid Melekhin, was denied political asylum and deported to Perm, where he was detained right at the airport. For six months now, he has been awaiting trial in a local pre-trial detention center on criminal charges of justifying terrorism. Under Russian law, Melekhin faces two to five years in prison. To prevent more cases like this, «Most.Media» launched a petition to the US authorities in late July, which has been signed by more than 31,000 people. Among them are many political activists who, if deported from the US, face repression in Russia. We are beginning to publish their stories.

Most Russian emigrants in Montenegro may lose their residence permits

On Monday, the Montenegrin government approved amendments to the law on foreigners. The innovations not only significantly tighten the conditions for obtaining a residence permit but also apply even to those who have long lived in the country. In other words, the law has retroactive effect. Now the only hope is that the country's parliament will fix this.

Why Ukraine manages to fight corruption despite the Russian invasion

«15 months of work and a thousand hours of audio recordings. The activities of a high-level criminal organization have been documented. Its members built a large-scale corruption scheme influencing strategic state-sector enterprises, particularly JSC »National Nuclear Energy Generating Company «Energoatom».« Last week, this press release from Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) about the results of Operation »Midas« was quoted worldwide. Tomorrow, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is scheduled to vote on the dismissal of Justice Minister Herman Halushchenko and Energy Minister Svetlana Hrynchuk, who were involved in corruption schemes. Investigators from NABU also proved that a close friend of Ukraine’s president, Timur Mindich, participated in these schemes. How they managed this is explained by anti-money laundering expert and board member of Transparency International Russia, Ilya Shumanov.

The Impossible Revolution

This fall, the 16-episode series «Chronicles of the Russian Revolution» by Andrei Konchalovsky was released on the Start online cinema platform. The creators of the series openly claim: all freedoms in Russia are only harmful. Which, however, is the norm for Russian historical series.

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.

«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.

Double Blow. The US and EU Imposed Sanctions on Russia Simultaneously

US President Donald Trump imposed sanctions on Russia for the first time since the beginning of his second term. Following him, the EU approved the 19th package of sanctions. This is not yet a full embargo, but already a joint policy of «coercion to peace.»
