Few political figures of the twentieth century have aroused such intensities of fierce admiration and reactionary fear as Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky. His extraordinary life and extensive writings have left an indelible mark on the revolutionary consciousness. Yet there was once a danger that his life and influence would be relegated to the footnotes of history. Published over the course of ten years, beginning in 1954, Deutscher's magisterial three-volume biography turned back the tide of Stalin's propaganda, and has since been praised by everyone from Tony Blair to Graham Greene.

In June 2023, the Wagner Group assembled an armed convoy that included tanks and rocket launchers and set out on what seemed like a journey to take control of Moscow. The last person to attempt such a venture was Adolf Hitler. Wagner’s power began from patronage, then grew from international theft and extortion, until it was so great it exposed the weakness of Russia’s conventional military and became a threat to the Russian state, one that was not demonstrably eliminated until a private jet containing Wagner’s core commanders was blown up in midair.

An ageing Winston Churchill yearns for peace with the Kremlin - but new American President Dwight Eisenhower cautions the West not to drop its guard.

The power did not corrupt Vladimir Putin. He was a bastard all along. Putin imagined himself a historical figure on par with Peter the Great but turned out to be a poor-mans Hitler. The attack on Ukraine, which was supposed to be his greatest achievement, turned into his defeat. Putin is the main war criminal, but Russian society readily accepted his decision. A short-lived ray of hope for a democratic Russia has been extinguished. Russia has been on a patch to this war since Boris Yeltsin's coup d'etat in 1993. Russian society was ready to march on Ukraine because of the pervasive idea of ...

"Это был воистину русский парадокс. В стране домостроя, где многочисленные народные пословицы довольно искренне описывают положение женщины - "Курица не птица, баба не человек", "Кому воду носить? Бабе! Кому битой бить? Бабе! За что? За то, что баба" - весь XVIII век русским государством самодержавно правили пять выдающихся и очень разных правительниц. Например, Елизавета, дочь Петра Первого.

Russia, 1997-1998 Learning the language in order to bring the Gospel to people has a hidden drawback. The more they helped us with the language, the closer our relationship grew with them. And then it really hurt to say goodbye. We spent only four weeks with some Russians learning their language, but at the end of our time, a number of them begged us to stay much longer. We couldn’t. The language school moved us every month to a new city in Russia, and after our first city of Nizhni Novgorod, we realized that we would never see those people again. Our extremely primitive language ability ...
