VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Our Brezhnev, Our Pravda, Our Soviet Union

Leonid Brezhnev led the former Soviet Union as General Secretary of the Communist Party until 1982.

In his late 60s and early 70s, Brezhnev’s growing […]

Theoretical ideas and the governing mechanics of politics, are […]

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Our Revolutionary Times

Sometimes unexpected and dramatic events strip away the thin covering of respectability and convention, exposing and negating long-existing but hitherto hidden pathologies. Events over the past three years, such as the destruction of our southern border, the October 7th massacre and subsequent war in Gaza, campus protests, the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns, and the systematic […]
