I want this article to be viewed as an official appeal to Hungary's National Investigation Office, which deals with war crimes during WW II. I believe that Moscow can provide all documents Budapest might prefer to have as a proof…

Loaded with anti-Russian propaganda, Jerzy Hoffman's new movie about the 1920-1921 Polish-Russian war – The Battle of Warsaw 1920 - will no doubt resonate with the Western audience…

The thinly veiled agenda behind World War II revisionism is to undermine the reputation of today's Russia. The invectives against the Soviet regime which evaporated decades ago combine into an arrangement for a “Nuremberg trial” to be faced by the modern Russia. This is the real reason why the country is showered with allegations that its administration holds on to the “totalitarian past”, with territorial claims, and with outrageous compensation demands…

The Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Cooperation, signed this month forty years ago between India and the Soviet Union, resonates in policy circles in post-cold war world order. The treaty signed in the height of the cold war reflected the ‘model’ relationship between the only alternate superpower and the largest democratic country beyond bi-polar affiliation. It still holds lessons to be learnt in the post-cold war international politics....

...In the 1920ies, the triumphant Poland launched a sweeping campaign of uprooting all things Russian. When the Russian Cathedral of Saint Alexander of Neva, a shrine with artwork of exceptional value, was looted and destroyed in Warsaw, a Polish newspaper wrote that by this Poland had demonstrated moral superiority over Russia...

...The burial site left from the distant epoch does not look like a cemetery in the full sense of the word. With garbage freshly removed, it is a small piece of land with some two dozen white poles, plaques on them reading: “Russian, 1920/1921”. A label marking the whole site says laconically: “Captive Bolsheviks from Russia are buried here”. No names or further information are available around. Asked a question about the place, a Tuchola resident responded bluntly: “Must we care about the Russian dead?” Well, at least, credit must be given to us for caring about the Polish dead...

Corporate power is immense. President Obama may lose the next election because he has brought in a universal health care system. “The Tea Party” element of the Republican Party, which represents raw undiluted capitalism, not only condemns any sort of public healthcare system – something most western countries take for granted – it blames President Obama for trying to clean up the fiscal mess they left behind which was the consequence of Republican de-regulation of the money markets…

The coming December will mark the completion of two decades of the post-Soviet era. The anniversary of the destruction of the Soviet Union – the world's second superpower – is an appropriate moment to venture an integral assessment of the tectonic geopolitical shift which left the international community sinking into chaos and facing an increasingly dim outlook...

More than six decades after Berlin's capitulation which capped World War II, the war is still raging, now in the form of revisionist attempts to cast a shadow over the memory of Soviet soldiers who fought in it. Among other things, the efforts aimed at equating fascism – a monster nurtured by the West in the 1930ies-1940ies - and Russia's XX century wartime past are supposed to divert attention from the continuity between the Anglo-Saxon imperialism and the German national socialism. The nature and key traits of the continuity are exposed in “From Imperialism to Fascism: Why Hitlers' India was to be Russia” by renown historian and sociologist Prof. Manuel Sarkisyanz...

The Lithuanian administration pretends to be oblivious to the fact that in 1991 the post-Soviet Lithuania emerged as an independent republic with a territory significantly greater than what it had joining the USSR in 1940... Perhaps the ardent Lithuanian nationalists who complain about the legacy of the alleged Soviet occupation should – as a step towards having the hated legacy uprooted - consider returning to Russia the territories Lithuania got from it?
