So About That Latest Stalin Poll...
•�April 16, 2019
•�100 Words •�31 Comments
Which showed a new record in Stalinophia, with positive views of the mustachioed Georgian BDSM master now approaching 70%. Here is a more interesting/original poll. 40% said they wanted the pensions they had under Stalin vs. 26% said they wanted the pensions they have under Putin. Under Stalin, only bureaucrats and urban workers enjoyed pensions... Read More
General Vlasov, Soviet Patriot
•�October 25, 2018
•�1,500 Words •�232 Comments
Izvestia (Dec 13, 1941) honors Vlasov amongst eight other heroes of the Battle of Moscow. Anybody who has spent any amount of time questioning the standard Soviet narratives about the first half of the 20th century will invariably be called a Vlasovite at some point. So far as neo-Stalinists are concerned, the turncoat general is... 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
No Sputnik with Soviet Liberals
•�July 7, 2017
•�700 Words •�13 Comments
I have already written about the Russian government's blocking of Sputnik i Pogrom, Russia's foremost nationalist resource. Two politicians have taken a clear stance on this. Zhirinovsky was one. I have been weighing whether to vote for him or Putin (if only to "reward" him for Crimea) in March 2018. Well, the decision is vastly... Read More

Russian Support of Stalin Is Tribal
•�June 16, 2016
•�700 Words •�166 Comments
It's hard to view Stalin as any sort of Russian national hero considering the demonstrable idiocy of his apologists' arguments. Trying to portray him as such involves descending into a fantasy world in which no country had ever managed to industrialize itself without killing off millions of its most intelligent and productive people or have...

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.
