The Terrorist Attack in New Zealand
•�March 15, 2019
•�100 Words •�98 Comments
Here is Brenton Tarrant's manifesto. He comes off as a living repository of /pol/ memes. Personally, I think we need to punish the enablers of Far Right terrorism. Well past time the hateful anti-Semite PewDiePie was kicked off YouTube and Putler got more sanctions. EDIT 2019.03.18: Seems there is a concerned campaign to get the... Read More
Ben Garrison Makes /Pol/ Redundant
•�November 15, 2015
•�100 Words •�18 Comments
Ben "Shishkebab" Garrison, the most trolled cartoonist on the Internet, is increasingly making the artistic efforts of his most devoted fans redundant. And here he was warning us of Eurabia a few days before the Paris terrorist attacks. It is now evident that he never was just the standard, run-of-the-mill libertarian cartoonist that the shills...

From Russia to Russabia? Not Anytime Soon
•�July 8, 2013
•�600 Words •�8 Comments
Faced with the utter failure of their doom-laden projections for Russia's population future to describe reality - it's population is now not only growing in absolute terms, but even barring migration its number of births now virtually equals the number of deaths - the more guttural elements of the interwebs are now resorting to another...

Time to Shove Off! and What Then?...
•�October 2, 2011
•�2,200 Words •�21 Comments
If I had a cent for every Russia story from the past week that featured the (conclusively debunked) "sixth wave of emigration" meme... And if wishes were fishes. Still, the coverage of Russian reactions to Putin's return does demonstrate the venality and general fecklessness of the Western MSM. As Adomanis correctly noted, it is "negative... Read More
Interview with Craig Willy (Letters from Europe)
•�May 16, 2011
•�5,400 Words •�4 Comments
After a year long hiatus from interviewing Russia watchers, I decided it was time to get back in the game. As it happens, my attention first fell on a Europe blogger – and not just any incisive, counter-intuitive scribbler whose intellect and analytical acumen is matched only by the number of themes he is prepared...

Wikileaks As A Mirror On the West
•�December 2, 2010
•�2,700 Words •�25 Comments
A foreign "subversive" journalist, driven by fevered idealism, publishes reams of leaked internal documents from an Authority that, beneath its carefully positioned mask of civility, honor and justice, views the whole world - of both friend or foe - as its own playground, and engages in the most corrupt and underhanded wheelings and dealing to...

The next installment of our Watching the Russia Watchers series at S/O features an interview with Peter Lavelle, the main political analyst at the Russia Today TV network, host of its CrossTalk debate show and Untimely Thoughts blogger.

A Rant on Orientalism & Western "Experts"
•�July 24, 2010
•�700 Words •�12 Comments
I've recently had a debate with... let's call him Marcus Stein, about whether you have to be proficient in a relevant language to hold really deep and insightful views about a region, culture or civilization, or whether, to put it in Averkoese, "translation, acquired knowledge (of the subject matters), good contacts (to interact with) and...

Review of “the Lucifer Principle” (H. Bloom), or: Fascism Is the Natural State
•�July 15, 2010
•�2,800 Words •�20 Comments
Depressingly fatalist, morbidly truthful, irresistibly Nietzschean. That's Howard Bloom's "The Lucifer Principle" in a nutshell: a meandering trawl through disciplines such as genetics, psychology and culture that culminates in a theory of evil, purporting to explain its historical necessity, its creative potential and the possibility of it ever being vanquished. The odds do not appear... Read More
Top 5 Demography Myths
•�June 20, 2010
•�1,500 Words •�45 Comments
In this post, I intend to disprove or at least question five commonly encountered myths about world demography (as I already did for Russia). 1. The Third World is experiencing a fertility-driven population explosion. Whereas this was true a generation ago, today most countries outside sub-Saharan Africa are in the later throes of demographic transition... Read More
Paul Goble, Promethean Propagandist
•�March 25, 2010
•�3,100 Words •�21 Comments
Mark Adomanis, who recently burst into the Russia-watching blogosphere like a fluffy pink grenade, has a series on "Who is the world's worst Russia analyst"? (So far Stephen Blank and Leon Aron are in the running). Personally, I think that Ed Lucas would "win" hands down. However, since he's already been exposed and discredited on... Read More
10 Myths About Russia's Demography
•�December 7, 2009
•�3,800 Words •�36 Comments
This post tries to debunk some popular, but misguided, views on demographic trends in today's Russia. These consist of the perception that Russia is in a demographic "death spiral" that dooms it to national decline (Biden, Eberstadt, NIC, CIA, Stratfor, etc). Some extreme pessimists even predict that ethnic Russians - ravaged by AIDS, infertility and... Read More

Through the Looking Glass at Russia's Demography

•�1,000 Words •�10 Comments
This is a succinct summary of my views on Russian demography, written about 2 months ago. Through the Looking Glass at Russia's Demography By Anatoly Karlin In 1992, for the first time since the Great Patriotic War, deaths exceeded births, forming the so-called “Russian Cross”. Since then the population fell from 149mn to 142mn souls.... Read More
Rite of Spring: Russia Fertility Trends
•�April 26, 2009
•�5,100 Words •�5 Comments
After its long pre-modern stint as Europe's most populated nation, France started transitioning to lower birth rates from the Napoleonic era, about a century in advance of the rest of Europe. On the eve of the First World War, its stagnant population made a stark contrast to German youth and virility. Considering the disparity in... Read More
Demography I - the Russian Cross Reversed?
•�April 8, 2008
•�2,000 Words •�23 Comments
The demographic situation in Russia is usually painted in apocalyptic terms. The Russian Cross - the post-Soviet transition into a world of death without new life - will supposedly preclude it from attaining First World living standards and wreck any Great Power, let alone superpower, pretensions. Is Russia Too Sick to Matter and the Sick... Read More

About Anatoly Karlin

I am a blogger, thinker, and businessman in the SF Bay Area. I’m originally from Russia, spent many years in Britain, and studied at U.C. Berkeley.

One of my tenets is that ideologies tend to suck. As such, I hesitate about attaching labels to myself. That said, if it’s really necessary, I suppose “liberal-conservative neoreactionary” would be close enough.

Though I consider myself part of the Orthodox Church, my philosophy and spiritual views are more influenced by digital physics, Gnosticism, and Russian cosmism than anything specifically Judeo-Christian.
