There has been increasing talk about the need to build a parallel economy going around lately in the prepper community as a result of high inflation, the rising costs of living, and bank crashes, not to mention the introduction of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), the cancellation of bank accounts belong to “undesirables,” and, not to mention, the looming threat of World War III.
While the circumstances are radically different, and it is doubtful whether the idea would or would not be allowed to catch on beyond a limited group of consumers and producers, there is historical precedence of communities actually cutting themselves loose to a certain extent from the banking system.

Immigration has become a major issue in Central Europe since 2015, whereas since the fall of Communism the primary social issue in this region had been emigration . But a lot has changed since the famous “migrant crisis” along the Balkan route — and the faces you see in the streets of Warsaw, Budapest, Prague, and Bratislava are changing, too.
Over a few weeks in the summer of 2015, a veritable migratory route was set up stretching from Turkey and Greece to Hungary, the guardian of the Schengen Zone’s southeastern border. (more…)

The year 2016 has special significance in Dissident Right circles.
To a Dissident Rightist, “2016” is more than just a 365-day time span during which the most unlikely things were made real by the most unlikely of personalities. To us, “2016” is more than a moment in time and space. To the Dissident Rightist, the mere utterance of “2016” conjures up a collage of emotions and memories. (more…)

Albrecht Dürer died on April 6th, 1528. He was a highly influential painter and artist of the German Renaissance. Dürer was one of the first major artists to produce high-quality woodcuts and engravings that eventually spread throughout Europe, influencing future generations in various mediums and styles. While I grew up seeing Dürer’s artwork on many of my favorite heavy metal albums, I never knew his name until I went with an ex-girlfriend to a Christmas market in Vienna last December. Discovering his woodcuts was the highlight of the day and it taught me to find the silver lining in the most challenging of times, including the current COVID-19 pandemic. (more…)

The history of Romania as a concrete country is generally assumed to have started with the Romanian, or Danubian, principalities, similarly to how the history of Russia as a concrete country starts with Muscovy. Both of these histories are of late medieval origin, having come into being in the wake of the Mongol invasions of Europe. In both comparable cases, however, the concrete starting point is not the same as the ethnologically related spiritual precursor from which the original states derived their patronage. In the case of Russia, the spiritual precursor was the Kievan Rus’, which was situated in present-day Ukraine. (more…)
