We’ve just had another explosion – in Moscow, near a subway station, at least ten people dead, though I don’t know whether this includes the woman who blew herself up or not. What a day. Full moon. It normally takes me about three to four days to recover – but then it happens again. The [...]

It doesn’t look like they are trying very hard to hide… Though if one assumes that some terrorists are terrorists and others are freedom fighters, then it’s different, of course (and I don’t just mean Hamas here; there’s also Mr. Zakayev living very comfortably in London and pretending to speak for the thousands of displaced [...]

Some pretty disastrous things always happen in August here: it’s become a cliche by now, and everyone’s expecting the worst. The coup that brought the Soviet Union to its collapse took place on August 19, 1991 (which was a good thing for many, though; today – well, yesterday – is/was the Independence Day in Ukraine); [...]
