We think that the West and the Eastern world are very different from one another. However, there are times in history when both of them are equally threatened by totalitarian regimes. Some people believe that history is cyclical, but sometimes it can be somewhat simultaneous and this aspect can be seen clearly in the war […]
Every once in a while, I find a song so beautiful that I can’t stop listening to it. It’s on repeat and it either keeps me calm while I’m working or allows my imagination to play when I’m not. The one keeping me company these days comes from Lara Fabian and it is called Danse. […]
