Tehran has not agreed to transfer its stockpile of highly enriched uranium abroad, and nuclear issues are not part of the current interim agreement with the U.S., according to Reuters. What kind of world do we live in, where such a headline is casually consumed while scrolling up and down? A nation is pressured to abandon its scientific achievements, its strategic assets, and decades of research,…
To understand what distinguishes 21st-century imperialism from that of the early 20th century, one must examine several economic developments that have had a profound impact on tactical and strategic objectives. The first major transformation of the imperialist system of domination arose as a result of the wave of independence (more or less real) following the end of World War II. Almost…
It has long been clear that the premonitions which many of you undoubtedly felt that day or in the following days turned out to be correct: Western governments made a fateful decision that day. And the ruins generated by that decision are now visible in nearly half the world; not only in Ukraine, but in Gaza, and now in Iran. What happened then in Odessa was a harbinger of far greater violence,…
Demonstrations by farmers, drivers and other members of the working class have been taking place for months in Germany. The main reason is economic. The Scholz government doesn’t like to flaunt unsightly figures, but according to the country’s Federal Statistics Office (Destatis), more than 300,000 (!) businesses were deregistered between January and June 2023 alone, an increase of 11.5% on the…
Accusations of fascism can now be heard from all sides. As they say, it has already become commonplace.

What Europe accuses Russia of – the lack of freedom of expression – is actively practised in Europe and the United States. Like: “We are the…
Veronika Naydenova, a German journalist, interviewed Faina Savenkova. With her permission, we reproduce the interview here. How would you describe your journey since the publication of your video messages to the UN and Zelensky? Hello Veronika! In fact, the appeal to Zelensky was invented by journalists. I’ve never written any separate appeals directly to Zelensky. In one of the interviews I said…
Since the beginning of the disaster of the Ukrainian counter-offensive against the Russian troops, followed by the understanding by the Western partners of the bankruptcy of their project on the territory of Ukraine, the power in Kiev has been confronted with an appalling reality: the refusal of the continuation of the investments coming from the sources which previously ensured them to be…
In the Reporters Without Borders (RWB) annual report on journalists killed in the course of their work in 2023, the deaths of two Russian journalists killed in the area of the special military operation were simply erased from the count, as if their deaths did not count. But after all, this is hardly surprising coming from an organisation that in 2022 was already calling for censorship of the…
The law is the basis of all states. This is taught in the very first classes of the humanities and social sciences. But what if a state is a dictatorship masquerading as a democracy? What if the use of the law for political repression and intimidation of citizens were suddenly revealed to world public opinion? What happens if the state deliberately fails to respect its own laws? This is not taught…
