The Russian Donbass Is Here to Stay
•�March 7, 2021
•�1,400 Words •�370 Comments
There's renewed rumors of war in the Donbass. But I don't think it's happening for a multitude of different reasons: Polls suggest that since around 2019 an outright majority of the LDNR wants direct union with Russia (<10% want independent, 12% want reintegration into Ukraine). The region is increasingly integrated into Russia de facto. The... Read More
Obninsk & Borovsk 2019
•�December 14, 2019
•�1,900 Words •�28 Comments
I have long wanted to make a "pilgrimage" to Borovsk, home to the museum-apartment of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, one of the three major thinkers - along with Nikolay Fyodorov and Vladimir Vernadsky - who could be said to be the fathers of Russian Cosmism, which is the precursor to modern transhumanism. Fortunately, to reach Borovsk, the... Read More
Egor Kholmogorov: Russia and the Great War. Victory a Hundred Years Past.
•�November 10, 2019
•�3,900 Words •�539 Comments
Monument to the Heroes of World War I, erected in Victory Park, Moscow in 2014. After a more than a year-long hiatus, caused by certain geographic and occupational changes in his life, the author of these lines would like to resume his translations of Kholmogorov’s work. Remembrance/Veterans’ Day seems like a marvelous occasion to present... Read More
Egor Kholmogorov: Simple Truths
and •�December 20, 2018
•�1,600 Words •�182 Comments
There are often questions in the comments about Egor Kholmogorov's stance on various things, e.g. about how he reconciles his Orthodox beliefs with Russian ethnonationalism. So I prepared something different from our usual fare of serious longreads - a series of translations of his social media posts, where he briefly but succinctly addresses some of... Read More
Egor Kholmogorov: Nicholas II - the Tsar of Normalcy
and •�July 3, 2018
•�3,100 Words •�335 Comments
Nicholas II & family, 1914. Colorized by Olga. As the perfect companion piece to his takedown of Stalin, here’s Egor Kholmogorov's appraisal of Nicholas II, styled an “anti-Stalin”, written during his recent trip to Crimea, which provoked another round of teeth-gnashing among Neo-Stalinists and Sovietophiles. It should also be norws that a recent poll shows... Read More
Egor Kholmogorov: Stalin Is Not Great
and •�June 8, 2018
•�6,500 Words •�940 Comments
Vladislav Pravdin - GREAT STALIN (1949). It is our joy that during the hard years of the war the Red Army and the Soviet people were led by the wise and experienced leader of the Soviet Union - the GREAT STALIN. And now for something completely different. Instead of snippets from larger works, here’s Egor... Read More
Egor Kholmogorov: Solzhenitsyn Against US-Soviet Convergence
and •�May 6, 2018
•�4,500 Words •�94 Comments
The doubtless success of the “primer” for Kholmogorov’s Solzhenitsyn treatise has compelled both the author and the translator to publish another “juicy bit” from the sprawling work. This part of the article analyzes Solzhenitsyn’s rejection of the Enlightenment that led him to lambast Andrey Sakharov’s project of a gradual “convergence” between Communism and Capitalism, causing...

Egor Kholmogorov: Alexander Solzhenitsyn - A Russian Prophet
and •�April 24, 2018
•�2,300 Words •�379 Comments
Almost by necessity, all previous Kholmogorov translations have been those of his older texts, with a “lag” between the original and the translation varying between several days and several months. What you see now is a much rarer treat. Kholmogorov has just finished a long and engrossing article on Alexander Solzhenitsyn, clocking in at 16,000... Read More
Egor Kholmogorov: Russians in the 20th Century, Part II
and •�April 20, 2018
•�4,000 Words •�435 Comments
The latest in our series of translations of Russian national-conservative intellectual Egor Kholmogorov. For the first part, see: Russians in the 2oth Century. Part I: Origins to WWII. Incidentally, while counter-mainstream commenters in the West are hardly well compensated, this is unfortunately doubly true in Russia. If you have enjoyed our translations of him, a... Read More
Egor Kholmogorov: Russians in the 20th Century, Part I
and •�March 26, 2018
•�3,900 Words •�220 Comments
The latest in our series of translations of Russian national-conservative intellectual Egor Kholmogorov. This massive opus, which will be published in two parts, is the closest thing there is to a condensed historiosophy of Kholmogorov's. Translated by Fluctuarius Argenteus Original: *** The modern Russian nation grew out of the Old Rus people, whose identity had... Read More
Egor Kholmogorov: 12 Myths of the Bolshevik Revolution
and •�November 10, 2017
•�6,000 Words •�29 Comments
Pavel Ryzhenko (2008): Umbrella. The latest in our series of translations of Russian national-conservative intellectual Egor Kholmogorov, as promised. In his latest article, published at Vzglyad, Kholmogorov demolishes twelve myths about the Bolshevik revolution, using a recent article by the Russian novelist Zakhar Prilepin as a foil. Why Prilepin? Who is he, anyway? You won't... Read More
Egor Kholmogorov: Socialism Not Dead - Paradoxes of an Unsolved Problem
and •�October 11, 2017
•�4,000 Words •�284 Comments
The latest in our series of translations of Russian national-conservative thinker Egor Kholmogorov. Translated by: Fluctuarius Argenteus; slightly edited by AK. Original: *** It may seem strange that, at the turn of the 21st century, the word “Socialism” is back in the popular political idiom. The final decade of the preceding century seemed to have...

Egor Kholmogorov - Mammoths and Patriots on the Russian Plain
and •�September 7, 2017
•�5,000 Words •�169 Comments
The conventional view of nationalism is that it was a product of mass literacy and the modern state, underpinned by schoolbooks and Tombs of the Unknown Soldier. Recent years have seen challenges to this historiographic consensus at both a general level (e.g. Azar Gat's Nations), and with respect to specific peoples (Robert Tomb's recent The... Read More

A Russian Conservative on James Damore
•�August 9, 2017
•�2,700 Words •�153 Comments
Prosvirnin is the most talented writer. Limonov has by far the most colorful personality. Dugin has been the most effective at promoting himself in the West. Prokhanov probably has the most name recognition in Russia. Galkovsky created the most powerful memes. Krylov provided the esoteric flavoring. And yet out of all of Russia's right-wing intellectuals,... Read More
Translation: Egor Kholmogorov - A Cruel French Lesson
and •�November 17, 2015
•�1,900 Words •�2 Comments
A Cruel French Lesson, by Egor Kholmogorov appeared in the November 14 issue of Komsomolskaya Pravda, one of the leading Russian dailies. It outlines what is pretty much the standard right-wing conservative Russian position on the #ParisAttacks. Some context: After the terrorist strikes, many outspoken Russian liberals rushed to wrap their digital selves in the... Read More
Translation: Europe's Week of Human Sacrifice
and •�May 29, 2013
•�2,700 Words •�1 Comment
Russian conservative Egor Holmogorov argues that Muslim immigrants in Europe and Russia can't have their cake and eat it too: Either they take responsibility for "lone wolf" terrorists, or they stop demanding privileges as a community. Europe has just undergone a week of human sacrifices. The French writer Dominique Venner committed suicide at the altar... 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.
