On 4th August, the world marked 100 years since World War I, a conflict that resulted in 16 million deaths and was in many ways a prerequisite for Word War II. A century later, a new conflict is brewing, this time between Russia and Western countries, with Ukraine being the […]
The Slow-Motion Collapse of the Ukrainian State and the Rada’s Capitulation

A Tale of Two Elections: Syria, Ukraine, and the West’s Double Take on Democracy
Ukraine and Syria are both going to the polls in less than two weeks, but the election that is legitimate (Syria) is painted as a fraud by the West, and the actual fraudulent election (Ukraine) is promoted as legitimate.

US policy in Eurasia: Full-Spectrum Subversion
What do postmodern exhibitionists, Islamic holy warriors and marauding ultra-nationalists share in common?

The UN as a Propaganda Nest for the NATO Information Vulture
Portions of the UN’s forthcoming human rights report on Crimea, to be released Tuesday, have been leaked to Foreign Policy magazine, and its findings are far from objective.

Press Kit on Human Rights in Ukraine
The flywheel of political repressions in Ukraine is gaining momentum these days. In sharp contrast with the liberal approach by president Yanukovych to the “Euromaidan” rout, the interim Kievan administration did not hesitate much about cracking down the public uprising against the “neo-Nazi regime” on the rise in the East […]
