Lev Navrozov It seems that quite recently things looked so promising in Russia. In my recent columns, I happily noticed that there are quite a few burgeoning signs of freedom in Russia that were impossible even to think of in my time: freedom of travel, freedom to leave the country, or start your own business. [...]
Lev Navrozov One of our family’s aims in coming out of Russia and to the United States was to help Westerners to understand Russia, from which the West was cut off for almost a century, their only main source of information being what Soviet propaganda was feeding them. This week, as I was writing my [...]
Lev Navrozov Even Stalin would have had a very long way to go before becoming the owner of the globe. Russia, which Stalin seized as its absolute owner, had technologically lagged behind the countries with developed capitalist systems. Germany, for example, had become industrialized long before Russia. It is hard to imagine what Russia would [...]
Lev Navrozov Before Hitler invaded Russia, a fair answer to the question “Who’s going to win World War II?” would be Hitler’s Germany. Its military science and technology were developed more than in any other country. But history ruled otherwise — Hitler was defeated. Germany’s “military leader”, Adolf Hitler, considered himself to be the most [...]
Lev Navrozov I left “Soviet Russia” with my family at the first opportunity, for we felt that the creeping “half-dictatorship” under which we lived was a precursor of the full-blown, cruel dictatorship it used to be during Stalin’s times. We lived through those horrible forebodings, and felt unbelievably lucky to have escaped from that hell [...]
Lev Navrozov Some centuries ago, there originated a thing called freedom in some countries of Western Europe — and in particular in Great Britain and later in the United States. The founders of the United States created a unique society allowing a maximum amount of liberty for the individual and restricting government involvement into the [...]
Lev Navrozov Let me recall our release from Russia in the early 1970s. The slave-owning “government” can mistreat any data on anyone and convert to slavery anyone except the “government” slave-owners. Freedom guarantees that the rights of any human being be defended in an independent court of justice if his or her human rights are [...]
Lev Navrozov Marx and Lenin, and later Soviet propaganda, asserted that crimes and criminals exist due to poverty in the “capitalist world.” In their “socialist-communist world,” there will be no poverty and hence no desire for wealth. After the “socialists-communists” had seized power in Russia, Lenin became the head of the government. Why? Allegedly, because [...]
Lev Navrozov Garry Kasparov is a Russian chess grandmaster, widely regarded as the greatest chess player of our time. In 1985, at age 22, Kasparov became the youngest-ever undisputed World Chess Champion. In 1989, Kasparov defeated the chess computer Deep Thought in both games of a two-game match. In 1996, he won the match against [...]
Lev Navrozov What’s this? Don’t I know what is going on in Russia? The entire world is watching! And here I am recalling oh, God, those horrible events of 1917! The trouble is that as a result of chasing after what is happening this month, this day, this hour, this minute in a certain country [...]
