Russia Demographic Update VII
EDIT: This article has been translated into Russian at Inosmi.ru (Российская демография: развенчивая мифы). It is now increasingly evident that Russia’s population has settled on a small but decidedly firm upwards growth trend. I have been vindicated. According to the latest data, … Continue reading

Time To Shove Off! And What Then?…
If I had a cent for every Russia story from the past week that featured the (conclusively debunked) “sixth wave of emigration” meme… And if wishes were fishes. Still, the coverage of Russian reactions to Putin’s return does demonstrate the … Continue reading

The Russophobes Were Right… (About The Wrong Country)
After peaking in 2007 at the height of its oil boom, the Russian economy slid off the rails, with GDP collapsing by 25% from peak to trough. Attempts to stem the decline by arresting pessimistic economists failed. Its image as … Continue reading

In Which I Opine On Various Matters Of Great Importance
A collection of news stories and my take on them from the past month or so. 1. Bribes are growing quickly in Russia. Their average sizes, that is. It was reported by the MVD that they increased by 5x from … Continue reading

TRANSLATION: How Russian Liberals Create Russophobe Myths
EDIT: This article has been (re-!) translated into Russian at Inosmi.ru (Как российские либералы создают русофобские мифы). Do you remember the growing chorus of voices in the Western media speaking of a “growing wave” of emigration from Putin’s Russia? Those … Continue reading

Top 10 Sinophobe Myths
EDIT: This article has been translated into Russian at Inosmi.Ru (10 главных мифов китаефобии). Just as with Russia, the Western media (beholden as it is to its power elite sponsors and anti-Rest ideology) peddles many tropes about China that cloud … Continue reading

Future Superpowers – The World To 2100
Most current projections of future trends in national power fail to appreciate the importance of three crucial factors: (1) the declining EROEI of energy resources (including, but not limited to, “peak oil”); (2) the importance of human capital to economic … Continue reading

Russia’s Brain Drain Abates, Just As Western Media Starts Hyping It
Everything’s going badly in Russia. Medvedev’s reforms are failing. The economy isn’t growing. It is moving from authoritarianism to totalitarianism (in stark contrast to civilized Western countries), and the motto “We cannot live like this any longer!” once again becomes … Continue reading

Russia Demographic Update VI
As we’re now approaching mid-2011, I suppose its time to give my traditional update on Russia’s demography. So here’s the lay-down: 1. In February, I predicted a population decline of c. 50,000 in 2010 (after a 23,000 rise in 2009). … Continue reading
