History: Making Modern Russia from 1462 (Ivan the Great) to 1815 (Alexander I)

By Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirovic

 

The period from 1462 to 1815 is of special importance for the history of Russia and the Russian people as well as for the history of Eurasia for at least five good reasons: 1) Russia became modernized according to the European pattern; 2) Russia became liberated from the foreign occupants; 3) The Russian people became territorially united into a single national state; 4) Eurasia experienced Russian territorial expansion in all directions from its original administrative center in Moscow and later St Petersburg; and finally 5) Russia as the mighty empire became a member of European concert of Great Powers and even the most powerful state in Eurasia after the Napoleonic Wars.

Sanctions propel Russia to Europe’s largest economy

Drago Bosnic, independent geopolitical and military analyst

Ever since the start of Russia’s counteroffensive against NATO aggression in Europe, the question of the economic fallout of this dangerous confrontation was always presented as a one-way street – the Russian economy is doomed. However, time and again, the Eurasian giant is demonstrating not only resilience, but also pushback that’s historically unprecedented. Namely, it was expected that Russia would outperform Germany and the United Kingdom which are among the most powerful Western economies. This is partially due to Berlin’s suicidal subservience to Washington DC, as this disastrous strategic miscalculation has led to Germany’s deindustrialization, a process that has only accelerated its dethroning by Russia.

Мирослав Самарџић: „Постдемократија“

У модерној политичкој теорији савремени политички системи названи су постдемократија. (Колин Крауч, Жак Рансијер, Шелдон Волин, Питер Меир и др.). У таквим системима власт је у рукама економских елита, а периодични избори су обична фарса чији је циљ да се економска моћ пренесе и у политичку и сваку другу сферу друштвеног живата. У западним друштвима главни субјекти политичких процеса су политизоване крупне корпорације, појединачни грађани су разбијени, изоловани, обесхрабрени да се међусобно организују. У Србији полуге моћи држе амбасадори великих сила и представници међународних финансијских организација, они владају преко домаћих странака, којима омогућавају да контролишу државни апарат све док служе њиховим интересима.

The Ukrainian Counter-Offensive Continues to Falter

By Stefan Brakus

The Ukrainian Counter-Offensive as of the 10th August 2023

Kharkiv Front

Russian forces have been making rapid gains in territory in the direction of the city of Kupyansk in the Kharkiv region. Western media outlets have largely ignored these significant Russian advances not because the former deem it unimportant, but rather due to the Western media’s desire to not cause damage to the moral of Ukraine and its Western allies. To damage moral with regards to the Kharkiv Front would be extremely harmful in the face of a situation in which the Russians could very well reverse their territorial losses from last year’s successful Ukrainian counter-offensive against the Russians in Kharkiv. Russia’s advances in this area have been so rapid, the Ukrainians have not been able to set up effective defensive positions in order to stall the Russians.

Милош Здравковић: Енергетска политика и геополитика

Written By: Miloš Zdravković

Утицај с Блиског истока све више се окреће од Европе и САД-а према брзо растућим азијским економским џиновима, Кини и Индији. Клатно моћи се са Атлантика дефинитивно помера на Пацифик. Свет као да поновно постаје политички мултиполаран. Постаје све јасније како почињу значајне економске, а за њима и политичке (геополитичке) промене.

Након  седамдесет година америчког вођства Запада и света и тридесет година глобалне доминације САД-а и Запада, стварају се прилике за нови будући сукоб за глобалну доминацију у 21. веку, између Запада и Кине. Само што овај пут Кина (поражена пре више векова од Британаца), неће бити сама.

Срби са КиМ: Неколико векова српске историје у Северној Македонији је бачено под ноге

National Movement of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija "Fatherland"

Захваљивање председника Србије Александра Вучића српском патријарху Порфирију због давања аутокефалности Македонској православној цркви открива неке чудне политичке димензије. Овај поступак Српске православне цркве је дубоко штетан по државне и националне интересе државе Србије и по ономе што може да се чује у појединим београдским круговима јесте да је Александар Вучић прави аутор ове идеје. Разлог је овај – да се име њему блиског човека не би нашло на америчкој црној листи он је лобирао код своје цркве да се издејствује аутокефалност Македонској православној цркви. Наравно, то је била жеља америчке администрације.

Estonian social crisis worsening

By Lucas Leiroz, journalist, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, geopolitical consultant.

Estonia is in serious trouble due to its irrational stance in the current NATO’s proxy conflict with Russia. Simultaneously focused on meeting Ukrainian humanitarian demands and the war plans of the Atlantic alliance, the Estonian government virtually excludes its own people from national priorities, which resulted in the aggravation of the internal crisis. Uncontrolled immigration, deindustrialization, economic instability and rising living costs are some of the problems that currently affect the country – and that will continue to affect if the government does not take a sovereign attitude.

Totalitarianism Has Metastasized

By Paul Craig Roberts

The United States is rapidly becoming an oppressive totalitarian society. The totalitarianism that is overwhelming America does not rely on imposition by government as in George Orwell’s novel 1984.  It is imposed by the leading institutions of the society, such as the American Board of Internal Medicine, the Chase Bank, the universities, the media, the Democrat Party, school boards, corporations.
