Russia is now a war economy
Nelson Rockefeller. Building supermarkets in Venezuela: the beginning of a worldwide project
In 1947, Rockefeller's IBEC opened in Venezuela, introducing supermarkets and revolutionising local commerce. The model was then exported to Europe, starting with Italy. With Italian partners such as the Caprotti brothers, the first supermarket, future Esselunga, was founded in Milan in 1957.
Tenth MAS: if the Italian Navy ignores its history
The Navy ignores on its website the participation of the X Mas in the fighting of the Nazi-Fascists. This is unacceptable because History cannot be written in half

Moscow’s former KGB chief: ‘Putin will only accept truce when goals are achieved, Europe wakes up’
Today you are under the sway of two powers like Russia and this new US, who deeply detest your value base. They are united by what they consider to be a common enemy: you. You are surrounded, somehow
The Russian project for the United States: first episode
The Russian project for the United States also directly affects Europe, as NATO is, albeit informally, disbanding. Only a part of the Italians seems not to realise this

Katyn, the suspended memory of a massacre ordered by Stalin and which Putin, his worthy successor, wants to erase
The tragedy of Katyn – where 22,000 Poles (army officers, but also politicians, journalists, professors and industrialists) were slaughtered by the Russians – has practically disappeared from school textbooks in Russia. The confirmation of this policy came with the war against Ukraine. Putin is Stalin’s successor
Lenin, Ukraine and the spectre of Orwell
Putin ‘forgets’ that Ukraine was a historical entity in its own right for more than 1,200 years, when Rus, the first Slavic state, was created in that vast territory stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea, bordered by the Dnepr and Dnestr, with Kiev as capital – when St Petersburg and Moscow did not even exist
The truth about Crimea that does not appear in the news
In 2014, armed men without insignia took control of the peninsula, hoisted the Russian flag and organised a fake referendum, where ‘95.5% of the voters’ would choose annexation.
Many opponents were arrested, beaten and subjected to violence: ‘They were tortured, degraded, beaten, forced to sing the Russian anthem with extinguished cigarettes on their bodies’ …
