2025/10/23

Russia is a ruled by a cruel dictator, an authoritarian who has snuffed out all civic freedoms which the population enjoyed in the 1990s Yeltsin years, right? Wrong. I have been saying that Russia has more freedom of expression and of the press than you will find in Western Europe today under the rule of … Continue reading Freedom of speech, of press in Russia – a proof →

2025/10/20

20 October 2025 The question of the value of using Russian state television as a means of divining which way the Kremlin is headed on key foreign policy issues has been highly contentious in the Alternative Media community. Some peers mock the idea, saying that the talking heads are irrelevant and that their own personal … Continue reading Does the Vladimir Solovyov talk show speak for President Putin? →

2025/10/17

I recommend this 9- minute interview to the Community because the argumentation is very focused. I may be proven wrong in my expectations for the Budapest summit, but based on the information available to us the logic is taut. The joker in the deck is what information is being withheld by the statesmen on all … Continue reading Firstpost ‘Spotlight’: Putin Vs Zelensky: Who Does Trump Trust on Ending Russia-Ukraine War? →

As they say, it is always darkest before the dawn. Though this discussion was recorded at noon, Brussels time today, figuratively speaking it took place before the “dawn” that arrived at 8pm when the Kremlin released a lengthy summary of the just completed two-and-a-half-hour phone call between Presidents Putin and Trump. To all appearances, that … Continue reading Conversation with Professor Glenn Diesen, 16 October: NATO-Russia War May Now Be Unavoidable →
