You should put together a book list of works that significantly contributed to your way of thinking. That way people can read up, better know where you are coming from, and then make more meaningful contributions to the discussion. Just a thought...
No problem: that's what translate.yandex.com is for (if you don't want to use Giggle). The big problem comes in afterward, having to run the text of the books through the translator! Seriously, at least knowing some of the authors would help, since a few, liike Lev Gumilev and Dugin, have been translated.
I just read about your prison experience. It's so cool just to know that there are people with a similar biography as you (although you're a very unique special person obviously... And not a woman). Lol. Anyway, ill definitely write to you before you get too famous to reply to common comments... Maybe we even know same people. Who knows?
Right. Books. First off - I'm not a big brain. I'm a woman fully aware of my limitations. I just want to be well read and well informed about things that matter in Russian culture and history. I'm going back to my roots. I really like the way your write and reason and hence think yourq reading recommendations will be of interest to me.
I've just started Бесы. (Demons by Dostoevsky). I like his prose, this book has been hyped a lot on rw forums and this is my second time starting it. And I really do dig it this time. Also helps that it's a physical copy I bought when on a visit a few years ago.
So maybe stuff in that vein, not too stuffy. Thanks in advance! You're a joy to read and to listen to.
Demons is a good one and I recommended it in my list as well. D reveals the plan of the revolutionaries: controlled genocide of a huge part of the population.
In terms of stuff that's not too stuffy, i'm afraid you're out of luck. It's all pretty stuffy. I try to simplify and make things more accessible with my blog.
Please, share with us your writings in Russian, your Telegram canal or anything, it would be interesting for me, as I live in Moscow and speak Russian!
What are your thoughts on the role Orthodoxy may play in Russia in the coming decades? I know the state has helped build many churches since '91 - e.g. that huge cathedral to the Russian military that was built just in 2020 - but what role does Orthodoxy play in the life of the average Russian? AFAIK church attendance is not all that high but the vast (?) majority of Russians identify as Orthodox Christians.
I don't think Orthodoxy in Russia will reach anywhere near a 90% like it used to be or even 50% threshold. Orthodoxy doesn't play much of a role in the average life of the average Russian. It's seen as a cultural heritage thing at best, not a religious thing. They will celebrate Easter and Christmas, but that's about it. A lot of spiritually-inclined Russians are also into various New Age and Eastern style philosophies and practices and the Orthodox church is very against these trends. They remain mum on Islam though, for obvious reasons. I suppose on a long enough timescale, the Orthodox that have large families will overcome the agnostic city folk, but you could make the same argument about Mormons in America.

Who wields influence? The influencers? Or those who influence the influencers?
Can you link to the list? I'm your new appreciator.
Its just a jpg so I can't here. What exactly are you looking for? Book recommendations? What about?
