Историк Евгений Спицын о том, имеются ли сейчас шансы на возрождение СССР?

Историк Евгений Спицын о том, имеются ли сейчас шансы на возрождение СССР? Не надо тешить себя иллюзиями, витать в облаках, полагать, что по щелчку пальцев мы воссоединимся, время работает против нас. После развала Древней Руси, после монгольского нашествия от России откололись огромные территории: нынешние Украина и Белоруссия. Только через 500 лет, в 18 веке они снова вошли в состав нашей страны, 500 лет их собирали вокруг Москвы, ценой огромных жертв. Сколько пришлось вести войн. Так что не надо строить иллюзий. Хоть теперь время ускорилось, на что раньше уходили столетия, теперь…

Мозг Ленина: чем он удивил учёных?

Атеросклероз, сифилис, отравление, генетическое заболевание или что? В 1921 году у вождя мирового пролетариата обнаружились симптомы странной и тяжёлой болезни центральной нервной системы. Время от времени у него стали нарушаться мыслительные, речевые и двигательные функции, отказывали конечности, его мучили ночные кошмары и…

Four ways to fix CSGO’s invalid app configuration error

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s constant updates means that sometimes users get errors regarding “invalid app configurations.” This error normally means that the appinfo file that tells Steam how to start CSGO is corrupt.

If that doesn’t work, there are several more options players can try before they might want to consider downloading the game over again. Luckily, Steam’s verification and settings options make troubleshooting a breeze, so…

Book Review: Esther in America

By Rabbi Dr. Israel Drazin Rabbi Israel Drazin BOCA RATON, Florida — The biblical book Esther made a significant impact upon Americans, Jews and non-Jews, as seen in the new book Esther in America.

Most noteworthy is that it contains no mention of God and no indication that the Judeans observed any biblical command. Even when the Judeans fasted when prompted by…
