The recent attempted mutiny in Russia left many in the West in a quandary how to position themselves vis-a-vis Evegeni Prigozhin and his organization. The resulting flip flops were hilarious and recalled the obligation to conform to the frequently changing party line in the Soviet Union. Hence, in a single day that the commotion lasted, Prigozhin went from terrorist to “freedom fighter” (when it was expected that he would be successful in disrupting the Russian government) and then back to terrorist again, when it became apparent that he had failed.

Andrew Korybko is an expatriate American scholar living in Moscow and working on an advanced degree there. We consider it a privilege to have a highly perspicacious observer of his calibre on the spot to inform us about the complex events taking place there. As the Wagner-Prigozhin affair unfolds, Mr. Korybko has written another opinion piece on that topic. His offer of amnesty and exile to Belarus wasn’t a sign of weakness like the Mainstream Media and some in the Alt-Media Community claimed, but proof that the Russian leader was in full control of the situation and powerful enough to…
The latest news from Russia points to a perfidious replay of the 1917 scenario when Russia was poised to win World War I but was sabotaged by the Bolshevik coup induced from the West. It also has all over it the fingerprints of British Intelligence. We shall soon find out whether Prigozhin was recruited or duped to stab his country in the back in a situation remarkably analogous to that which prevailed in 1917. One should hope that not just the Russian political and military leadership but all Russians — across the social spectrum — have learned their historical lesson.…
Another atrocity. Yesterday, the dam holding back the waters for the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station was destroyed releasing a massive flood surge, imperilling people and places below the dam on the Dnieper River. Both sides blamed each other. From the Russian standpoint, it makes no sense to blow up the dam. According to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, it was a desperate attempt to improve the defensive positions of Ukrainian forces. It is the latest atrocity in this war. On 26 September 2022, the Nord Stream pipelines were blown up. Ukraine and western monopoly media blamed Russia. Again, it makes…
Those of his supporters in the Alt-Media Community who convinced themselves that the special operation won’t stop until Russian forces reach the Polish border are bound to be infuriated by this assessment, but it’s based on his own words as proven by the official Kremlin website. Putin’s Three Latest Appearances President Putin strongly suggested in a series of appearances last week that a political solution to the NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine is still possible. Those of his supporters in the Alt-Media Community who convinced themselves that the special operation won’t stop until Russian forces reach the Polish border are bound to be infuriated by this assessment, but…
The political naiveté of the Serbian people and the manipulative professionalism of its adversaries are on full display in the weekly mass protests “against violence” in Belgrade. The protests are now entering a phase of heightened tension and increasing demands served upon the fully dismayed authorities. That means that the warm-up phase is nearly over and that gradual transition is being made to the decisive stage of the operation. At that stage, the point will come when a crisis situation will be provoked. Depending on how the crisis will come to be resolved, a new personnel configuration of Serbia’s next…
NATO’s war in Ukraine is turning into a disaster and a catastrophy for the Ukrainian people it is decimating. American Moscow-based commentator Andrew Korybko explains. It’s impossible to achieve anything from further escalating this conflict. Kiev’s NATO-backed counteroffensive has been disastrous, which even the Mainstream Media was forced to acknowledge after it became impossible to deny. CNN revealed that it already lost around 15% of its Bradley infantry fighting vehicles during the first week, while Forbes reported that about the same percentage of German Leopard tanks were destroyed as well as half of its “unique” breaching vehicles. Meanwhile, President Putin claimed that 25-30% of all their total foreign equipment was…
A cogent appeal by Prof. Višeslav Simić to the President of Russia which deserves careful reading and consideration. End Serbia’s White Nights and Save Her from the Black Widow’s Net, Pleasе! Dear President of Russia, and of all the world’s people who yearn for the end of the Collective West’s tyranny and destruction — A quarter of a century (almost) is a long time to get a chance to fix a state – even one so discomposed as Russia was when you came to her helm. That is also an entire youth in a man’s life, and the best…
There is a much less centralized network of factors which tips the scales of media coverage to the advantage of the U.S. empire and the forces which benefit from it. If you watch western news media with a critical eye you eventually notice how their reporting consistently aligns with the interests of the U.S.-centralized empire, in almost the same way you’d expect them to if they were government-run propaganda outlets. The New York Times has reliably supported every war the U.S. has waged. Western mass media focus overwhelmingly on foreign protests against governments the United States dislikes while paying far less attention to widespread…
Andrew Korybko is a young American expatriate scholar and geopolitical commentator based in Moscow. We are happy to introduce him to our regular readers. The Color Revolutionaries want to replace Vucic with a hardcore liberal-globalist who’ll unquestionably do the West’s bidding in all respects while the patriots hope that he’ll radically recalibrate his policies in a conservative-nationalist direction. Russian Ambassador to Serbia Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko assessed late last month that the ongoing anti-government protests against President Aleksandar Vucic are “attempts at a Maidan coup”, which Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik just seconded earlier this week. The mass shootings that took place in early…
