Yaroslav Trofimov WSJ, June 26, 2023 “… none of the key players in the power struggle—beginning when Prigozhin seized the southern city of Rostov Saturday—has been strengthened by the ordeal that brought the country to the edge of civil war.” A day after Wagner’s mutiny showed the unexpected fragility of President Vladimir Putin’s regime, all the main players in […]
Sergey Radchenko The Spectator, June 24, 2023 “Russia is in a state of a deep crisis, unlike anything it has experienced since 1991.” Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner mercenary group, has taken control of the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, the headquarters of the Southern Miliary District, in the most serious […]
Yonah Jeremy Bob Jerusalem Post, June 25, 2023 “Such military aid could include new cyber weapons, the S-400 anti-aircraft missile system, new advanced Russian aircraft or even advances in the nuclear weapons field.” For the moment, the world-shaking potential coup by the Russian Wagner Group against Russian President Vladimir Putin has ended.

Armin Rosen Tablet, July 1, 2022 ‘It is not a stretch to wonder if a pro-Zionist diversity bureaucrat is an ideological contradiction in terms.” Of all the signs that the Jewish community’s political influence has waned in New York City, perhaps none has been as stark as the City University of New York’s frequent […]
Benjamin Kerstein JNS, June 5, 2023 “CUNY’s systemic antisemitism has been a problem for the better part of a decade, and up to now, no one did a thing about it.” It was the devout hope of many of us in the trenches that, sooner or later, the City University of New York (CUNY) […]
Rebecca Roiphe Sapir Journal, Volume Six Summer 2022 “The lecture halls in our law schools are now filled with professors and students who believe these things.
