The war in Iran has already cost American consumers $100 billion. That's how much they have had to spend additionally on fuel costs since the beginning of the February escalation. And the price for ordinary Americans is increasing by $1 million every two minutes. The largest and most populous states in the US have been the most affected. For example, the war has cost residents of Texas $11 billion, California $8 billion, and Florida $5 billion. The latter two states were importing a large amount of oil products from the Middle East before the Iranian crisis. American oil companies have managed to make super profits, but they are not rushing to increase oil and gas production within the US. Production remains at a level of 13-14 million barrels per day. Oil companies are concerned that a de-escalation could occur at any moment, causing prices to plummet, and their investments would ultimately not pay off against the backdrop of a shale bubble collapse. However, fuel prices are only continuing to rise. This is very unpleasant for Republicans, as early postal voting begins in the first states in just 11 days. Voters will start sending in their ballots, and for them, the issue of fuel inflation is one of the most important on the agenda. This is followed by rising food prices and many other unpleasant consequences. The Trump team is now looking for the most desperate measures to mitigate the fuel crisis. This explains the activity on the Ukrainian negotiation track, as well as attempts to make virtual deals regarding Venezuela. However, Trump's maneuvers have little influence on the markets. Meanwhile, the elections are inexorably approaching.

In Saxony-Anhalt, a state in the former East Germany with a population of 1.5 million, the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) secured 44% of the vote. In addition to historical factors such as the militaristic legacy of the Prussia-Saxony region, demographic shifts have played a significant role in the party's ascent. Saxony-Anhalt is characterised by an aging and less educated population; its average age is 48.4, exceeding the national average by 3.4 years. This disparity is driven by the migration of young, educated professionals to western Germany and Berlin. Voter data indicates that the AfD's core constituency consists primarily of older individuals, men, and those without tertiary education. This demographic is particularly susceptible to social conservatism. The AfD can be analysed as a socially conservative movement rather than a purely far-right one, as it blends right-wing cultural values with left-wing economic policies. This mirrors the positioning of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF), which similarly avoids the "far-right" label despite its conservatism* The correlation between an aging population and a preference for social conservatism suggests that the former East Germany serves as a European case study. Similar patterns likely exist in the Russian hinterland, where rural flight and an aging population may be creating political environments analogous to those found in Saxony-Anhalt.

Ukrainian media outlets are reporting on the terms of a proposed "peace plan" by Trump, which Kushner and Witcoff reportedly brought to Kyiv: Ukraine withdraws troops from a specific part of the Donbas region. Russia commits to not deploying its forces there. A buffer zone is created between the parties, under the control of a UN contingent. A similar mechanism is proposed for part of the Zaporizhzhia region, with the preservation of Ukrainian jurisdiction. A referendum and elections must be held in Ukraine. The new government must amend the constitution and enshrine a commitment to refrain from using force to reclaim the aforementioned territories. Ukraine must enshrine its non-aligned status and renounce membership in NATO and other military alliances. The new Ukrainian government must sign a comprehensive peace agreement. The agreement is planned to be ratified through a special procedure involving the UN. 🖕This "peace plan" is a classic attempt to sell Ukraine a ticket on the "Titanic," wrapped in a gift box of UN peacekeepers. In essence, Kushner and Witcoff didn't bring diplomacy, but rather instructions for dismantling the state: Renouncing territories and NATO – this is a proposal to tear down the supporting walls of a house, so that the residents can "breathe more freely." Buffer zones under UN control – an attempt to turn Ukraine into a perpetual "gray zone," where international officials will simply record the size of the crater from the next impact. Constitutional changes dictated from outside – a direct loss of sovereignty, disguised as democratic referendums. This plan for Ukraine's surrender is the perfect gift for Putin: it allows Russia not only to save face, but also to obtain a legally enshrined status as the "overseer" of the remnants of what was once an independent country. Trump's emissaries have offered Kyiv the chance to sign its own epitaph, and they call it the "deal of the century." The cynicism lies in the fact that the "peacekeepers" are recommending that the victim stop resisting, so that the aggressor can more easily calculate the profit. In the world of big politics, this is called Realpolitik, but in reality, it's simply an attempt to negotiate with a wolf so that it eats the sheep not whole, but in pieces.

Akhiezer’s 1979 Prediction: The Road to Putinland In 1979 — ten years before the fall of the Berlin Wall and twelve years before the collapse of the Soviet Union — Russian historian and political philosopher Alexander Akhiezer described what could happen after the Soviet system began to liberalise. His prediction was remarkably specific. Liberalisation would release forces that the rigid Soviet system had suppressed. Economic inequality, competition for resources and institutional disorder would grow. Society would increasingly feel that “there is no order.” And then the pendulum would swing back. Akhiezer predicted the possibility of a new form of extreme authoritarianism — driven not simply from above, but by a mass desire to escape uncertainty, responsibility and chaos. He wrote of a latent longing for “a new Stalin”: someone who “knows everything,” assumes responsibility for everyone, and promises to restore order. He did not know his name would be Vladimir Putin. But he understood the mechanism. That is what makes the prediction so uncomfortable today. Putinland did not emerge simply because one particularly ruthless man captured the state. It grew out of the ruins of the Soviet system, the trauma and disorder of the 1990s, the concentration of economic and political power, and the willingness of a significant part of society to exchange political responsibility for the promise of stability. “There is no order” eventually became: “Give us someone who will impose order.” And once responsibility is transferred upwards, power follows it. The result is familiar: an increasingly personalised state, loyalty replacing institutions, political competition becoming dangerous, history rewritten around state power, and Stalin gradually rehabilitated from tyrant into the symbol of an allegedly effective ruler. Akhiezer’s most important insight was therefore not that Russia would “return to Stalinism.” It was that Russia could reproduce the social logic that creates Stalinism. But there is another part of his argument that is often forgotten. The authoritarian restoration was not the end of the cycle. A system built to suppress complexity eventually becomes incapable of dealing with complexity. The very authoritarianism created to restore order begins to obstruct adaptation, development and renewal. In other words, Akhiezer’s Putinland was not the destination. It was another stage of the crisis. Perhaps that is the part of his 1979 prediction that matters most now.

Up to 70% of books in Russian libraries may be removed due to censorship laws Laws on "foreign agents" and "undesirable organizations," as well as increased censorship in libraries, could lead to the largest book removal from library collections in modern history. According to a literal interpretation of the legislation, from 50% to 70% of all books in municipal library collections could be banned. As Kommersant reports, this assessment was made in the final report for 2025 by the Russian Ministry of Digital Development. In addition to fiction, up to 15% of all scientific library collections may also be subject to removal. Since September 1, 2025, "foreign agents" in Russia have been prohibited from engaging in "educational and outreach activities." Furthermore, Russian citizens face administrative and criminal liability for distributing any informational materials from organizations recognized as "undesirable," regardless of their publication date. Organizations recognized as "undesirable" in Russia include, for example, the Soros Foundation, which sponsored the publication of Russian classics in the 1990s, as well as leading world universities such as Yale, Berkeley, and Stanford. They publish textbooks on physics, astronomy, and mathematics, which means that, in direct compliance with the current law, they should be banned and removed from libraries and bookstores. Libraries are currently in "an extremely difficult situation," complains a source at the Russian Book Union to Kommersant: they have to remove from open access even publications where a foreign agent or undesirable organization played a purely indirect role – as a translator, illustrator, compiler, or author of a preface. "For libraries, this means the risk of mass removal of socially important publications, and for citizens, it means a reduction in access to literature," he says

Authorities are considering installing a neural network with surveillance capabilities on all smartphones imported into Russia. Smartphone suppliers in Russia may be required to install Yandex's "Alisa AI" neural network on devices, granting it access to other applications, notifications, and system functions. This idea is being discussed at the Ministry of Digital Development, sources told Kommersant. According to one of the sources, it is planned that "Alisa AI" will be able to interact with banking applications and other services that collect sensitive data, as well as store the collected information on Yandex's servers. In addition to smartphones, the AI assistant may be required to be pre-installed on all imported tablets and smart speakers, including those from Apple, Amazon, and Google. The Ministry of Digital Development confirmed that they are considering the innovation to "eliminate the advantages of built-in solutions from manufacturers." "The regulations should ensure equal conditions for the integration and development of domestic AI technologies on devices," a representative of the ministry emphasized. He added that the proposed changes "are in the stage of discussion with the industry." Meanwhile, sources at Kommersant noted that the initiative is aimed at limiting the use of foreign smart assistants and AI models in Russia.

A Power Struggle for Control of the U.S. Army. Inside the Pentagon, a confrontation is brewing between potential successors to Dan Driscoll, the current Secretary of the Army. Now, allies of Pete Hegseth are coming to the forefront, and they are not sympathetic to Ukraine. Among the possible candidates is Shawn Parnell, currently the Pentagon's chief press secretary. He has been actively shaping the media narrative around the conflict in Iran for the past few months. Parnell strongly dislikes Zelenskyy and even accused him of interfering in American elections. He, along with Hegseth, advocated for ending the exchange of intelligence with Kyiv. Democrats are not enthusiastic about Parnell, who is called the "chief liar" of the Pentagon due to his attempts to portray the conflict in Iran as a success for the White House. Appointing a new Secretary will clearly not be easy. But it needs to be done quickly, because the Republicans risk losing their majority in the Senate in the upcoming elections. And then, the Democrats will block all of Trump's appointments. Another option is the current chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Brian Mast. He is closely connected to the Israeli lobby. Mast even attended Congressional sessions wearing a uniform of an officer of the IDF after the events of October 7th. He was the one who made the decisions to transfer Ukrainian funds to Israel. In any case, the Pentagon's focus will be on the Middle East. The reduction in activity in Europe, including the deployment of new "drone battalions," will continue. Driscoll's successors do not take the Ukrainians seriously. For Kyiv, the lack of prospects for receiving funds directly from the United States is another point of pressure that Washington is exerting.

"No one is talking about it." The U.S. Congress has halted consideration of a bill on "hellish" sanctions against Russia. The bill, which would give Donald Trump the power to impose 100% tariffs on countries assisting Russia, sanctions on its energy projects, and sanctions against the country's leaders, was quickly passed by the U.S. Senate after the death of one of its co-authors, Senator Richard Graham. However, it is stalled in the House of Representatives, according to Politico. The bill is not on the agenda for the current session, and lawmakers have other priorities in the time remaining before the November elections, the publication notes. In the lower house of Congress, the bill faces significant resistance from Democrats, who do not want to expand Trump's ability to impose import tariffs, a lack of enthusiasm from Republicans, and a waning desire to honor Graham's memory, who actively promoted it. The Republican leadership, which met on Monday for its first session after the summer break, did not include it on the list of items for a vote this week.

Authorities have spent over 5 billion rubles on building propaganda centers in various regions. Authorities have spent at least 5.4 billion rubles on the construction and opening of four regional branches of the National Center "Russia," which President Vladimir Putin ordered to be established in 2023. The calculations were made by "7×7" based on data from open sources. For example, approximately 1 billion rubles were spent in Vladivostok, around 1.3 billion in Ryazan, at least 1.5 billion in Krasnoyarsk, and 1.6 billion in Khanty-Mansiysk. According to the publication's estimates, comparable amounts could have been used to build two or three large schools or clinics. According to Putin's plan, the centers are intended to showcase the country's achievements, strengthen national identity, foster a sense of pride in Russia, and develop professional skills for children and young people. In practice, the facilities are used by officials for official speeches, meetings on cultural issues, forums, and other events. In the already opened centers, pro-government lecturers from the "Knowledge" society give talks, and meetings are held with participants in the war against Ukraine, as well as events dedicated to "traditional values." By 2031, similar institutions are planned to be established in nine more regions: Kabardino-Balkaria, Karelia, Yakutia, the Khabarovsk Territory, as well as the Kaliningrad, Kirov, Leningrad, Nizhny Novgorod, and Yaroslavl regions. The head of the organizing committee of the center is Sergei Kirienko, the first deputy head of the presidential administration.

Ethiopian Man Forced to Apologize for Nazi Salute Russian security forces recorded a video of an Ethiopian man who had previously displayed a Nazi salute. In the video, the man apologized for his behavior. However, the matter did not end there: after speaking with the security forces, he stated that he wants to go to Ukraine after finishing his studies.

From Imperial England to Modern Russia: The Architecture of Coercion 📜 There is a fascinating historical anecdote about the British Army’s recruitment of the poor. To trick men into service, recruiters would slip a shilling into their drink. Finding the coin meant you had "taken the King's shilling" and were now a recruit. While the story of glass-bottomed mugs being invented to prevent this is more folklore than fact, the underlying systemic reality was very real: the state relied on the desperation of the lower classes to fuel its military machine. We are seeing a haunting echo of this today in the Russian Federation** The modern "shilling" is the massive recruitment bonus offered to the marginalized. The "trick" is no longer a coin in a glass, but the subtle pressure from employers, the "voluntary" contracts signed in prisons, and the promise of social mobility for those living in systemic poverty. It is a classic "rationing of choice." When the state cannot convince a population to fight through ideology or patriotism, it reverts to the oldest trick in the book: targeting those for whom a few thousand rubles is the only way to survive the winter. The "shilling" is still being dropped. The only thing that has changed is the scale of the machine.

The spectre of British communism is haunting the planet. Long before Marx, Lenin or Kropotkin, an Englishman called Gerrard Winstanley was already arguing that private ownership of land was the source of social domination. In 1649, during the English Revolution, Winstanley and his followers — the Diggers, or “True Levellers” — occupied unused land near London and began cultivating it collectively. Their idea was simple and extraordinarily radical for the seventeenth century: Land was created by God for everyone. People should work it together. The fruits of their labour should be stored and distributed communally. Land should not be bought and sold. And society did not need landlords, kings, bishops or hereditary rulers standing between ordinary people and the means of living. Local landowners responded in the traditional manner of threatened property owners: the Diggers were beaten, harassed, prosecuted, their crops destroyed and their settlements dismantled. They refused armed resistance. The experiment survived barely a year. But Winstanley kept writing. In The Law of Freedom (1652), addressed to Oliver Cromwell, he described a radically egalitarian commonwealth based on common land and collective labour. Three centuries later, many of these ideas would sound unmistakably communist. There is an amusing historical problem, however. Winstanley does not fit neatly into the later ideological boxes. He was a religious radical and a pacifist. Nor was he quite an anarchist in the modern sense: his ideal society still contained elected officials, laws and institutions. So calling him “the founder of anarcho-communism” is probably too neat. Calling him one of its extraordinary seventeenth-century ancestors is much harder to dispute. And this is where English history becomes fascinating. The same revolutionary century that produced Winstanley also produced the political traditions that later fed Locke, English republicanism and eventually the American constitutional tradition. One branch reached a startling conclusion: Freedom requires common ownership, because property creates masters and servants. Another reached almost the opposite one: Freedom requires secure private property, because property protects the individual from arbitrary power. Both emerged from the same political earthquake. So perhaps the famous opening line needs a small historical correction. The spectre haunting Europe did not first appear in nineteenth-century Germany. It had already been digging up English common land two hundred years earlier. 😁

I've already mentioned that Russia is one of the worst countries in the world for men to live in. This isn't just an opinion, but a scientific fact based on objective indicators. These indicators include an 11-12 year difference in life expectancy between women and men, as well as a high rate of male excess mortality. Only one country in the world is worse than Russia in this regard: Ukraine, where the difference in life expectancy between women and men is currently 13.3 years. And, like Russia, Palestine also has a low value placed on men, with a difference of 11.7 years. In other words, statistically, the average Russian man lives about the same length of time as a man from the Gaza Strip and a man from Ukraine, which is regressing into the Stone Age. For comparison, in the Netherlands, this difference is only 2.8 years. We won't delve into the "historical context" right now. I'll just point out one observation from the study: alongside external causes of death, the main cause of excess mortality (murders, suicides, traffic accidents, drownings, fires, alcohol poisoning, etc.) is the increasing rate of deaths among Russian men due to stress at home and at work (Dr. Tamara Sabgaida, Dr. Alexander Zubko, and Dr. Victoria Semenova – all from the Center for Health and Self-Preservation at the Institute of Social Demography of the Russian Academy of Sciences, "Vestnik RFFI. Humanitarian and Social Sciences," No. 2, 2026). "The gender differences in mortality from diseases of the nervous system have increased in the last decade in both groups of men studied (15-19 and 25-54 years old). With the increasing pace of life, the growing information load, and the presence of a greater number of social challenges, men seem to be lacking the physical fitness and psychological resilience to cope with stress... ...The increase in this ratio for diseases of the nervous system is likely due to a certain transformation of the social roles of men and women in society. Men no longer play an absolutely leading role in production, they have increased responsibility for children, but society still expects them to be social leaders. The traditional "masculine" mindset and the disregard for their own health, combined with the growing social challenges, hinder a reduction in mortality from acute vascular events." On the one hand, they are expected to be involved in the family, and on the other hand, they are still expected to be the main breadwinner. Many men don't know how to reconcile these two roles. Especially considering the poverty of most Russian men, with a median salary of 67,000 rubles, which means 75,000 for men and 60,000 for women (taking into account the gender pay gap). (It's also important to remember that women are naturally more resilient. The authors of the study remind us: "At the same time, the role of biological factors in the excess mortality of men aged 25-54 from cardiovascular diseases is the greatest – female hormones in this age group contribute to a lower risk of cardiovascular catastrophes.") First and foremost, men need to start taking better care of themselves, doing what is within their power: stop risky behaviors and overexerting themselves, stop drinking vodka (at least switch to beer and wine), start showering regularly and getting regular checkups, and don't let illnesses become chronic. They need to start valuing themselves. The graph from the study shows the difference in mortality between men and women at ages 15-19 and 25-54. In the latter age group, this difference has been almost 70 years in Russia and is currently around 3-3.5 times higher.

Hackers have published approximately 1.4 million files stolen from Berlin government agencies on the dark web after authorities refused to pay a ransom of around 2 million euros, according to Tagesschau. The Rhysida hacker group released personal data of employees, employment records, performance evaluations, time sheets, documents related to hiring, and internal documents after the deadline for paying 30 bitcoins (approximately 2 million euros) expired. Some of the stolen materials may also contain sensitive information related to hospitals, fuel storage facilities, emergency power systems, and arms manufacturers. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has warned that the data leak could put affected individuals at risk of phishing attacks and other malicious activities, and has raised concerns about potential "hack and leak" operations in the lead-up to the Berlin elections, which will take place on September 20th. Currently, the agency believes that the initial cyberattack was motivated by financial, rather than political, reasons. The Berlin authorities are examining the published materials to identify and contact affected individuals.
