In the shadowed corners of the internet, a Russian website emerged like a grim auction block, eerily resembling an online slave market, where profiles of Ukrainian children – kidnapped from Russian-occupied territories – were advertised for “adoption.” Accompanied by descriptions of their physical builds, eye and hair color, temperaments, and ages, these listings reduced Ukrainian children to commodities, dangling them before prospective Russian families eager to claim a piece of the spoils.

As would be expected, Ronald Suny ends They Can Live in the Desert but Nowhere Else, his comprehensive history of the Armenian Genocide, by placing the genocide within its historical context and comparing it to other genocides of the 20th century, primarily the Jewish Holocaust. (more…)

That the Hamidian Massacres of the 1890s resulted in up to 300,000 Armenian deaths and did not spark either a civil war or a widespread Armenian exodus from the Empire is evidence that the Armenians had been a diaspora for so long that many of them had lost the will—or forgotten how—to defend themselves.

You know you’re reading a great novel when you effectively stop your life in order to finish it. This is what happened to me when I picked up and devoured Franz Werfel’s 1933 novel The Forty Days of Musa Dagh. The elevator pitch is exciting enough. Several thousand Armenian villagers hole up in a mountain during the First World War in order to escape deportation and genocide from the Turks. (more…)

The half-light of an autumn evening reflected off the Old River and into the face of the boatman. Over and under each subtle ripple and eddy, his eyes darted here to there so quickly that his gaze seemed fixed. As if he took in the whole broad sweep of the Thames with a hungry look-out. Next to him, and charged with steering the dinghy, stooped a young girl, his daughter. She “watched his face as earnestly as he watched the river.

The history of Romania as a concrete country is generally assumed to have started with the Romanian, or Danubian, principalities, similarly to how the history of Russia as a concrete country starts with Muscovy. Both of these histories are of late medieval origin, having come into being in the wake of the Mongol invasions of Europe. In both comparable cases, however, the concrete starting point is not the same as the ethnologically related spiritual precursor from which the original states derived their patronage. In the case of Russia, the spiritual precursor was the Kievan Rus’, which was situated in present-day Ukraine. (more…)

By now, we should all know about the Muslim grooming gang scandal which has been rocking England for decades. Peter McLoughlin wrote about it extensively in his invaluable volume Easy Meat, which should be required reading for anyone on the Alt Right. After exposing not only the Muslim sex offenders and their complicit communities but also the white Britons who let it all happen, McLoughlin then sets upon a novel tack in his book.
