East and West at 5
Five years ago, in May 2016, East & West was born. 5 years is not a long time ago, but from the perspective of 2021 the year 2016 feels already like a slightly different era. May 2016 was before the Brexit referendum, before Donald Trump‘s presidency, the likelihood of which at the time most experts… Continue reading

Putin, Putin everywhere – Myśl Polska
This article originally appeared on Myśl Polska. The German Office for the Protection of the Constitution has targeted German vaccine-skeptics who do not trust vaccination against COVID-19 with drugs that are not sufficiently tested for side effects, or for how long they last. Someone might ask: what does the Office for the Protection of the… Continue reading

The West lives in an illusion
It is one of the strangest things of our era. Your average Western citizen is enthusiastic about the idea of a globalized world and purports to look at cultural and national differences as little more than relics of a long gone past: these ideas amount to nothing more than prejudices and bigotry and must be… Continue reading

Don’t think they won’t do the same to you
People infected with political hysteria become irreconcilable, stubborn enemies of their country, because directly or indirectly they begin to work for the triumph of the plans of the West, which, without hiding, removes competitors by economic, political methods, or even “color revolutions”. The Earth, it turns out, is small, if we talk about global markets,… Continue reading

Why is the West so obsessed with Putin (and Ergodan, and China)?
Rarely a day goes by without some outraged denunciation of Putin’s regime by some Western intellectual and the Western press. The European Union has devoted an entire agency to the purpose, called EUvsDisinformation, whose task is to label as disinformation, of course Russian disinformation, any hint of criticism of the EU, NATO or the West… Continue reading

Women’s Day has become a day of rage and frustration
It feels like centuries away, but only a few years ago in some Western countries, Women’s Day was regarded as an occasion to celebrate. Today this celebration has become a day of anger and discontent, with many women loudly voicing their frustration (at men, of course) to protest inequality, sexism and other injustices. One would… Continue reading

The United States and the United Kingdom support the closure of three opposition channels in Ukraine
Two days ago, in an unpredicted and bold move, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky deprived three Ukrainian television channels close to the opposition party “Opposition Platform – for life!” of the licence to broadcast. The channels were accused of being “pro-Russian”, others called the channels “Kremlin-linked”. According to recent polls, the Opposition Platform For Life… Continue reading

Ukrainian President closes three “pro-Russian” TV channels
Last night the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky imposed sanctions against 3 TV channels, the NewsOne, Zik and 112, in one stroke. The TV channels have been barred from broadcasting and their assets have been blocked. The news channels have been closed without a trial or investigation, simply by an executive order of the Ukrainian… Continue reading

We need to prepare for a multipolar world
The US Congress approved the election results. Donald Trump said that while he did not agree with the results, power would be handed over on January 20. The 79-year-old Joe Biden will become the next US president. Meanwhile, four people are dead, several dozen injured, the building of the American parliament is plundered. In the… Continue reading

There is no alternative to liberalism
Like democracy, liberalism is at the center of the entire contemporary Western political ideological construct. In the much used phrase “liberal democracy”, the “liberal” component seems to have gained even more importance than the “democracy” factor in giving “liberal democracy” the aura of universal legitimacy. As the discussion in recent years has shown, democracy per… Continue reading

Can Eastern Europe rescue European culture?
In the most prosperous and traditionally most influential European countries, such as France, Germany and England, the political and cultural conversation today seems to have become entirely dominated by immigration issues, equal opportunities between the (multiple) sexes and the protection of sexual minorities. It is not only the media such as newspapers, magazines and talk… Continue reading

Europe must not succumb to the Soros network – Orban responds to Soros
Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbán responded to an article by George Soros published in Project Syndicate on November 18, calling for pressure on Hungary and Poland. Many believe that the prime minister of a country should not enter into an argument with George Soros. Their reasoning is that Soros is an economic criminal, because he… Continue reading

A president should be judged by his actions, not his politeness
This is truly pathetic. The news media is calling President Trump “Indecent” for not accepting the election result – and “rude” for being mean on Twitter. The media’s definition of a “good” and “decent” President is a polished politician who says nice and polite words on tv and Twitter – but they have no problems… Continue reading

Elections are nothing but entertainment
There are no elections in this world. There is a political entertainment show for the plebeians, on the one hand, and on the other, the elites who really have the power to make decisions behind the scenes of this show, bound by centuries of traditions, internal agreements and clan solidarity. At the same time, the… Continue reading

Biden wins, the world goes back to normal
Now that Donald Trump has lost the presidential race to Joe Biden, the good citizens of the civilized world can breathe with relief. Donald Trump was going to destroy world order, they told us four years ago. Donald Trump was unfit to be President because he could start a nuclear war on a whim, they… Continue reading

The Belarusian crisis as a turning point – Myśl Polska
This article was first published on Myśl Polska. The era of Western domination and US hegemony is over. The main factor of change is the so-called counter-hegemonic alliance between China and Russia that cemented the idea of a “great Eurasian partnership”. Since 2015, the transformation has taken place through a targeted synthesis of the Eurasian… Continue reading

People need order, not freedom
Sergey Klimkovich, Minsk If you remove from the idea of the power the husk of words like “democracy”, “dictatorship”, “plutocracy” and expose its essence without political hues, parties and superstructures, what remains is the purest antithesis of anarchy, chaos and the “war of all against all”. Anarchy or “weak power” is the worst possible lot.… Continue reading

Nagorno-Karabakh in history
Actually, friendship between the different peoples in the USSR was an extremely dubious thing. Especially between Armenians and Azerbaijanis. If at the everyday level people were good friends (my Armenian acquaintances in Baku were hid in their neighbors by Azerbaijanis during the pogroms), then, of course, it is difficult to say the same about the… Continue reading

Is the truth novichok’s ultimate victim?
Yesterday a rather healthy Navalny was discarged from the Berlin hospital where he has been receiving treatment for what is largely accepted as a very severe poisoning. As we addressed in an earlier story there are several questions that make this episode somewhat hard to fathom. In fact as time progresses more questions have come… Continue reading
