Evgeniy Satanovsky (“Armageddonich”) is the main Russian expert on the Middle East, professor at the Institute of Asian and African Studies at Moscow State University and a popular television, radio host and blogger. Results of the epoch-making and most alarming year of the 21st century. • Second Karabakh War - Turkey is torn in the empire.• Europe between Navalny and Nord Stream 2.• About the darkest Christmas in modern Western history.• USA: presidential elections as a tragicomedy on a global scale.• Ukraine, Belarus and other pets of our zoo.
