Reflection
Near the Bolshoi Theatre
I do realize that your social media news feeds are overwhelmed with the year results and still I wrote this. The photos of pre-HNY St Petersburg and Moscow are included to ease the pain. (more…)

PRussian AI Dream Factory
PRussian AI Dream Factory
Yesterday I’ve visited the 2018 PicsArt AI Hackathon. It was quite an experience for me because I’ve heard of such events but never actually visited any. The hackathon took place in Trekhgornaya Manufaktura. The symbolism is there because the latter is the oldest textile plant in Moscow founded at the end of the 18th century. Thus, it can be interpreted as a graphic manifestation of the global…

The Western Boomerang At first, I wanted to post several sketches dehumanizing Russians made in the mainstream genre of propaganda passing for comedy.
The Yin-Yang of Russian/American Post-propaganda
Russia & the West. Pt. XII: The Yin-Yang of Russian/American Post-propaganda.
The difference between the Russian and American media is as follows: the legacy media in Russia is based on (self-)censorship while the MSM in the US is centered around the narrative. Both of these entities are dependent on each other and there is no particular border between them. (Self-)censorship is the ultimate…

The Russian Universe Vocabulary
I’ve mentioned previously that I like inventing new words. As the 5th anniversary of Russian Universe is in just two months, I’ve decided to publish all the important RUneologisms from 2013 to 2017 in alphabetical order. Here they are: (more…)

#RussianProverb: He Who Drives Forth, Draws Luck
Russo-Balt car that participated in the St. Petersburg – Berlin – St. Gotthard – Rome – Naples –Berlin – St. Petersburg motor rally (1910). Везёт тому, кто везёт*! (vezyót tomú, kto vezyót). Lit.: he who drives forth, draws luck. English equivalent: God helps those who help themselves. Meaning: people who want to be successful in life should work hard and not give up.

Беляши vs The Belyashi
As you probably know, I’ve created a blog in Russian titled Armeyskov’s Squatterly Review. I will translate/adapt the most important posts in Russian and share them on this blog (and vice versa). You can find the Russian version here.

It is obvious that there’s no direct analogue of klyukvain Russia regarding the West. Of…

The Medium Is a Mess
The medium is a mess
It’s time to have a break from social media and/or probably abandon the most vicious ones. Of course, autoposting will continue – and that’s it for now. I’ve never been into Мордо(р)книга, i.e. Facebook but I did enjoy Twatter Twitter. After we, Russians, elected Danila Trumpov aka Donald Trump, subverted every election one can possibly think of and pushed Western liberal…

Bolsheweak
Today is the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution. Regardless of your political predilections, there’s no arguing about the significance of this event for Russian and world history alike. The striking disparity between its importance and the status of the anniversary in Russia is obvious: just an exhibition here, a procession there – and that’s it. An explanation of this quietness by…

Boris Indrikov – Velikie Veliki in the State Museum of Sports
I want to introduce to you Boris Indrikov – contemporary Russian artist, who I was fortunate to meet in person. I was completely blown away by his Velikie Veliki project (in Russian, English adaptation), which was a mockery of pseudosciece and folk history. I won’t give you spoilers, but trust me – it’s a brain candy! Note: all the…

#RussianProverb: If You Do Something in a Hurry, People Will Laugh at You
Valentin Korzhov – Darwin vs Darwin, Scene №2.
Поспешишь — людей насмешишь (pospeshísh’ – lyudéy nasmeshísh’). Lit.: if you do something in a hurry, people will laugh at you. English equivalents: fools rush in; haste makes waste.

Russo-American Relations in a Nutshell 😎
Normalizing Russophobia
Russia & the West. Pt. X: Normalizing Russophobia
The Russian conspiracy theory in the US and the corresponding wave of Russomania in the West resulted in the normalization of the good old Russophobia. As I’ve previously stated, I think that the latter term is overused, but it’s relevant here – meaning the fear and/or hate of Russia and Russians. (more…)
