Day of the Retail/Trade Workers
I can’t say that retail sector is one that just blows you away with its efficiency here in Russia. For example, at the moment, we are experiencing an unprecedented heat wave, swinging into its third week with no signs of abating. And, do you think you can purchase a fan or an air-conditioning unit anywhere in Moscow? Ha ha ha ha. No way. HRH said last night that the thing to do it is to start buying space heaters to stay ahead of the curve.

My personal dacha story begins with an invitation from our friends to accompany them to their dacha about 60km south of Moscow. The plan was to leave Friday evening and return on Sunday.

Surprised by Russia
The man who refused a million dollars
What everyone has been talking about for so long and couldn’t quite believe has now finally happened. The Russian mathematician Grigory Perelman has officially refused the Millennium Prize of $1 million awarded him by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge, Mass., for proving the Poincaré conjecture. Perelman’s explanation for this refusal was as surprising as his actual refusal. He disagrees with the decision of the mathematics community: “I do not like their decision, I consider it unfair,” he said. “I consider that the American mathematician [Richard] Hamilton’s contribution to the solution of the problem is no less than mine.” What Hamilton thinks about this is not yet known.
A Russian paradise in Turkey ( 2 comments )
One of the singularities of the Russian soul is its genuine belief in the possibility of heaven on earth. This faith has been passed down from one generation to the next. Even in Russian fairy tales miracles happen not “long long ago” as they do in Western European tales, but in the “thrice-nine kingdom”. The tie to a place is palpable. A place where dreams come true, somewhere nearby, you just have to find it. So let’s look. In tsarist times peasants went in search to the East, to Siberia, thereby expanding Russian territory.

Why living off the land can be a bit of an acquired taste
In 1615, Dutch envoy Anthonis Goeteeris, on finding himself in Moscow, wrote: “The Russians have a very strange cuisine.” Although Russian food is generally thought to be monotonous, it is actually rich in original recipes.

When spies become intelligence officers
How do you say "spy" in Russian? What about "espionage?" And how do you distinguish "spying" from "gathering intelligence?"
About us

Our Mission

We believe that Russia is a diverse and complex country in a state of major transformation, still coming to terms with its long - sometimes painful, sometimes curious - history, that cannot be understood in the context of stereotypes. We would like to present significant facts and ideas that fall under the ‘radar screen’ of major international news outlets.

We would like to serve as a guide in inviting you to discover the country and its culture for yourself, and hope that you will join our growing community of intellectuals interested in Russia by offering your ideas, suggestions and commentaries.
