History of Europe

The Russian Cesspit

David Crouch

Bliss it was in that dawn to be naïve: no amount of reading could have prepared me for the surreal world of Russian politics. It was Alice in Wonderland meets A Clockwork Orange. But to understand what is happening in Ukraine and Russia today, we need to make some sense of it.

Post-historical archaism, Ukrainian homonationalism, and the death of the post–Soviet era

Vadym Yakovlev

Since 2014, the visibility of LGBTQ people in Ukraine has increased significantly compared to previous years, and women’s rights awareness is now considered an important component of social and political change.

R.A. the Rugged Man: Dragon Fire

Shane Alexander Caldwell

A music video produced for certified legends of Hip Hop Wu-Tang Clan, Kool G Rap, R.A. the Rugged Man and Xx3eme. Set in Queens, New York City in the early 1980s, we follow the blood-thirsty “Dragon Fire”, as he avenges the brutal rape and murder of the beautiful Kara Fire by battling street thugs, deadly ninjas and a Rothchild orgy before facing down the Big Boss on top of an abandoned print shop.

For Ever We Stand with Ukraine

Matthew Blackburn

Around the world in 2022 and 2023, I have met a broad range of Westerners absolutely committed to the cause of standing with Ukraine against Putin ‘for as long as it takes’. This includes a remarkable spectrum, from extreme-left anti-fascists, environmentalists and ‘woke’ activists to ‘based’ conservatives, populists and libertarians.
