"The people of the former Soviet Union are accustomed to incredulity towards the Grand Narrative of the State. Having lived through a heavily propagandised regime, they are aware of the distance between the message and the product, which is measured in experience of reality.
"It is ours which is the most heavily propagandised population in history. Our news is fake, the ruling ideology itself an argument with everything else that it can never hope to win. This losing battle, with its enormous human casualty rate, is fought on Netflix and the nightly news, in humourless comedy, in sterile novels and derivative dramas."

Lenin and the Art of the Impossible
The Tree of Woe contemplates the impossibility of revolution: Every rock star began as a long-haired freak in a garage with a dream of a record deal and groupies. Every best-selling author began as a would-be writer being told that no one buys books. Every successful entrepreneur began by faking it until he made it. [β¦]

"The opening of a new front towards the Kharkiv region might have one or more of three purposes.
"To surround and eventually take Kharkiv city, the second biggest one in Ukraine.
"To create a buffer zone along the border to prevent Ukrainian attacks on Russian grounds.
"To divert Ukrainian reserves and to prevent them from joining the intensifying fight in the Donbas region."

Rise of the Broletariat!
But thereβs a certain irony in the outpouring of appreciation for the bros. Especially at elite schools where the encampments have been most persistent, fraternities have faced university-driven witch hunts aimed at eliminating their presence on campuses. The anti-frat crusade, which features a questionable judicial process led by antagonistic university bureaucrats hired to promote DEI initiatives, is troubling enough before you consider its glaring hypocrisy in the face of the ongoing protests. Universities that now treat the smallest fraternity infractions as grounds for immediate and sometimes harsh limitationβincluding accidentally setting off smoke alarms with a candle to turning in party permit applications an hour lateβare now, very publicly, allowing disruptive and even aggressive encampments to persist despite their deliberate violations of policy, making the schoolβs double standards for the application of rules and the distribution of consequences abundantly clear.
Itβs the latest and most visible example of a frustrating trend in campus culture, in which elite universities pander to a small minority of progressive students at the expense of the students who simply want to enjoy a normal college experience, which involves things like frat parties, university traditions, and joy, and have found their social lives increasingly restricted at every turn.
