In the night of July 16-17, 1918, a squad of Bolshevik secret police murdered Russia’s last emperor, Tsar Nicholas II, along with his wife, Tsaritsa Alexandra, their 14-year-old son, Tsarevich Alexis, and their four daughters. They were cut down in a hail of gunfire in a half-cellar room of the house in Ekaterinburg, a city in the Ural mountain region, where they were being held prisoner. The daughters were finished off with bayonets. To prevent a cult for the dead Tsar, the bodies were carted away to the countryside and hastily buried in a secret grave.
Bolshevik authorities at first reported that the Romanov emperor had been shot after the discovery of a plot to liberate him. For some time the deaths of the Empress and the children were kept secret. Soviet historians claimed for many years that local Bolsheviks had acted on their own in carrying out the killings, and that Lenin, founder of the Soviet state, had nothing to do with the crime.
In 1990, Moscow playwright and historian Edvard Radzinsky announced the result of his detailed investigation into the murders. He unearthed the reminiscences of Lenin’s bodyguard, Alexei Akimov, who recounted how he personally delivered Lenin’s execution order to the telegraph office. The telegram was also signed by Soviet government chief Yakov Sverdlov. Akimov had saved the original telegraph tape as a record of the secret order.1
Radzinsky’s research confirmed what earlier evidence had already indicated. Leon Trotsky — one of Lenin’s closest colleagues — had revealed years earlier that Lenin and Sverdlov had together made the decision to put the Tsar and his family to death. Recalling a conversation in 1918, Trotsky wrote:2
My next visit to Moscow took place after the [temporary] fall of Ekaterinburg [to anti-Communist forces]. Speaking with Sverdlov, I asked in passing: “Oh yes, and where is the Tsar?”
“Finished,” he replied. “He has been shot.”
“And where is the family?”
“The family along with him.”
“All of them?,” I asked, apparently with a trace of surprise.
“All of them,” replied Sverdlov. “What about it?” He was waiting to see my reaction. I made no reply.
“And who made the decision?,” I asked.
“We decided it here. Ilyich [Lenin] believed that we shouldn’t leave the Whites a live banner to rally around, especially under the present difficult circumstances.”
I asked no further questions and considered the matter closed.
Recent research and investigation by Radzinsky and others also corroborates the account provided years earlier by Robert Wilton, correspondent of the London Times in Russia for 17 years. His account, The Last Days of the Romanovs – originally published in 1920, and reissued in 1993 by the Institute for Historical Review — is based in large part on the findings of a detailed investigation carried out in 1919 by Nikolai Sokolov under the authority of “White” (anti-Communist) leader Alexander Kolchak. Wilton’s book remains one of the most accurate and complete accounts of the murder of Russia’s imperial family.3
A solid understanding of history has long been the best guide to comprehending the present and anticipating the future. Accordingly, people are most interested in historical questions during times of crisis, when the future seems most uncertain. With the collapse of Communist rule in the Soviet Union, 1989-1991, and as Russians struggle to build a new order on the ruins of the old, historical issues have become very topical. For example, many ask: How did the Bolsheviks, a small movement guided by the teachings of German-Jewish social philosopher Karl Marx, succeed in taking control of Russia and imposing a cruel and despotic regime on its people?
In recent years, Jews around the world have been voicing anxious concern over the specter of anti-Semitism in the lands of the former Soviet Union. In this new and uncertain era, we are told, suppressed feelings of hatred and rage against Jews are once again being expressed. According to one public opinion survey conducted in 1991, for example, most Russians wanted all Jews to leave the country.4 But precisely why is anti-Jewish sentiment so widespread among the peoples of the former Soviet Union? Why do so many Russians, Ukrainians, Lithuanians and others blame “the Jews” for so much misfortune?
The deepest truth in pickup is a set of attitudes that you feel inside and thus vibe out to other people. It colors your interpretation of events, your behavior, and the way that people respond to you socially. High-value behaviors will flow naturally from these attitudes, without need for rehearsal. We use a Yin/Yan metaphor to describe these attitudes:
THE GHOST
The Yin is like being a ghost who is unaffected by anything thrown its way. Nothing can touch you or shake your emotions. The Yin is the way that you are not affected by other people. It is the way that you do not add overly intense feelings to the vibe. You must practice the Yin at all times.
Also, whatever intense feelings may be in the air, positive or negative, you do not react overly to them. Though you are socially intuitive to the vibe, and you are perfectly aware of whatever is going on, nevertheless, nothing is that big of a deal to you. The Yin is also about being a high-value person who would not bring negative feelings to an interaction. After all, you do not care enough to do so. The caring itself would be overly reactive and thus beneath you.

that's exactly why, I put together a guide on building agent teams that actually work.

May 24, 2026- Just as the weather continues to be unseasonably-cool
(unkind) to us this month in this neck of the Mid-Atlantic U.S., so has Fate been unkind when it comes to the loss of great musical talent. In the last 11 days, Clarence Carter, Dennis Locorriere (of Dr. Hook),
saxophonist Dick Parry and Rob Base left us. What better way is there to celebrate their lives than to listen to some of their work? These four musicians certainly cover a wide range of musical genres, so there's a little something for everybody this time around. I hope that you
all enjoy the songs I chose! There are two from each artist.

A triple-barreled electrically-fired silent pistols was put on display at a press conference in West Germany in 1954. The pistol was issued to Nikolai Khokhlov, one of the Soviet MVD’s most experienced and capable agents.
(1/7)
He was tasked to arrange the targeted killing of Gregory Okolovich, a senior member of the National Alliance of Russian Solidarists. The Solidarists were a group of Russian emigres working to subvert the Soviet government from abroad by establishing an agent network in country and smuggling anti-communist literature across the border with balloons, among other plans.
(2/7)
Khokhlov traveled to Frankfurt, West Germany along with two highly trained German agents who would carry out the killing at his direction. They brought with them four silent firearms specifically fabricated by the infamous Laboratory Number 12 for this mission.

Le mariage des enfants n’est pas propre à l’#Afghanistan des talibans : il subsiste, selon des cadres juridiques variés, dans d’autres pays à majorité musulmane. ⬇️🙀
Au #Yémen, il n’existe pas d’âge minimum légal clairement défini (ou celui-ci reste très bas). Le phénomène y est particulièrement répandu, avec environ 30 à 52% des filles mariées avant 18 ans, et des cas rapportés dès 8 ou 9 ans. campaignforjustice.musawah.org/repository/yem…
En #ArabieSaoudite, aucun âge minimum fixe n’existait jusqu’en 2019. Depuis 2022, un seuil légal de 18 ans a été introduit, mais assorti d’exceptions importantes permettant encore des mariages précoces avec l’autorisation du tuteur masculin. hrw.org/news/2023/03/0…
