Is Russia a communist country? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Communists still exist in Russia - but it doesn't mean that the whole country is still loyal to Karl Marx's ideas. Communism as a state ideology is dead in Russia. This is official. “No ideology may be established as a state or obligatory one,” goes Article 13 of Russia's Constitution adopted in 1993. This is a major difference compared to previous Soviet constitutions that emphasized the Communist Party (CPSU) was “the leading and guiding force of Soviet society and the nucleus of its political
These popular Stalin jokes might have been the last words you said (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We don't know if Stalin fancied a good joke about him yet the state he ruled was totally ruthless towards those telling those jokes. In the Soviet Union in the 1930s-1940s, you could end up doing time after telling a joke to a friend – if the joke concerned the leaders of the Communist Party or, God forbid, Joseph Stalin (and if your friend was a big enough jerk to rat you out to the authorities). For instance, archival material shows that one Sergei Popovich was sentenced to 10 years in prison
Who was Yakov Yurovsky, the man behind the murder of Nicholas II? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yakov Yurovsky surely loved tea - In one of few photos we have he is portrayed with a large glass. As you may know, Russia’s last emperor, Nicholas II, was executed on July 17, 1918, when the Bolshevik guards opened fire on him and his entire family: wife, four daughters and a son, as well as five servants. This grisly event happened in the cellar of the so-called “House of Special Purpose” in Yekaterinburg (a major city in the Urals, 1,700 km east of Moscow), where the former imperial family wa
Russian pranksters bust on U.S. Congresswoman in frantic phone call (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Maxine Waters doesn't know how many U.S. intelligence agents are in Limpopo. On Feb. 13, the Youtube channel run by Russian pranksters Lexus and Vovan posted the recording of a conversation with Maxine Waters, an important member of the U.S. House of Representatives. The caller introduces himself as "Volodymyr Groysman, Prime Minister of Ukraine," and he wants to speak about sanctions against Russia. The bogus Groysman shares `evidence’ of Moscow's aggression and he hopes the U.S. Congress won't
Criminals or just misunderstood: Who are Russia’s ‘gopniks’? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The heyday of the gopniks came in the 1990s. Late one evening, student Vitaly Kulagin was returning home through the narrow streets of the Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye district in the west of Moscow when suddenly he saw three people coming towards him. Turning around, he saw that two more people were approaching him from behind. He was surrounded by five grim-looking young men – they looked no older than 25 and smelt strongly of alcohol. “What? Where you going in such a rush, mate?” asked the largest
