The Harvard, the Chubais-clan and the wasting of Russia

Just a few years ago, the leaders of American politics claimed thet Russia will develop into a stable and flourishing democracy, as a result of privatisation and market reforms and the unselfish assistance of the US.By today, these expectations have gone. This paper reveals some hidden stories about the origins of the financial and moral bankruptcy. The article was first published in The National Interest.

Kosovo one year later

The period after the bombing of Yugoslavia showed that the NATO intervention was not successful in terms of its declared objectives. There is also evidence that the NATO leaders deliberately misled the public opinion about the situation in Kosovo and in the Balkans in general.

Humanitarian war

The present article was originally written in the first half of April 1999. Its author ment it to be protest againts the Yugoslav war of the NATO. By then, its publicationwas rendered impossible by the strange strategy of a liberal weekly in Budapest, which accepted it, kept it on stock for more than a month and finally returned it. The paper rejects the ideology and the practice of "humanitarian war", referring to facts that could not reach the conscience of the Hungarian public during the war and that even remain unknown to most people.

Picasso and the party line

Pablo Picasso was member and pride of the French Communist Party and major sponsor as well. Though as an artist he never accepted the so-called socialist realism of the Stalinist era. He remained committed to the principles and the organisation of the party until the end. The article was first published in The Guardian.
