Since many nekulturny droneserfs believe “thuh Rushins” are behind all evil in the world, what’s say we learn a bit more about them?

A few years ago, I published my first novel of historical fiction...centered on the Russian Revolution. Over the five years of research and writing, I came to truly admire many aspects of Russian culture. As a (then) single, romantic writer-I probably fell "in love" with the tragic elder Romanov sisters-a difficult balance between who they "were" and what their family had come to represent to many.

I think many Westerners...particularly Americans, have a hard time remembering that Russia's been around a long, long time-much longer than the 70 years it was the USSR. That's probably because their best achievements often coincided with their worst atrocities...and their greatest heroes often emerged from their most oppressive regimes.

Hitler certainly underestimated Stalin's ability to match him pound for pound in ruthlessness.

Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union.[1] Orwell, a democratic socialist,[2] was a critic of Joseph Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, an attitude that was critically shaped by his experiences during the Spanish Civil...
