I am a Russian repatriate, blogger, and intelligence researcher.
My primary blog is at The Unz Review [feed], where I write about Russia, geopolitics, HBD, IQ, and futurism. Start here if you’re new to my work.
Here is a more complete archive of my best posts, as well as my travel writing (inc. guides to Moscow, SPB) and reviews of books, films, and video games.
You can keep in touch via email, on social networks (see top right), and my newsletter.
My Russian language blog is at akarlin.ru [feed].
Inventor of the Soviet Freezer, Apollo’s Ascent, and the Katechon Hypothesis.
