Episode 145: Seeds of Freedom

This week on the Global Research News Hour, we return to the situation in Ukraine now approaching a year and a half in length. People around the world are calling for an end to the conflict. But what tools are at hand to break this chain of violence? We will discuss the topic of peace in Ukraine with two sets of guests. In our first half hour we will talk to Ken Stone and Glenn Michalchuk of the Canada-Wide Peace and Justice Network  about the state of their movement in Canada and about coming projects planned for the Global Week of Action to end the war in Ukraine from October 1st to October 8th. Then in our second half hour, we have a special discussion with the conscientious objector and pacifist in Ukraine, Yurii Sheliazhenko about how and why he is under house arrest for his position against the war even though he condemns the aggression by Russia.

The bellicose and authoritarian Russian state's propaganda exploitation of the anarcho-pacifist novelist Leo Tolstoy is an obvious and perverse irony. But a less obvious irony also presents itself. Like all fascist regimes, that of Vladimir Putin is stigmatizing and even criminalizing homosexuality and other sexual "deviance." Following alarming reports of "concentration camps" for gay men in the Russian republic of Chechnya, Moscow began to impose an anti-gay agenda nationwide. A 2020 constitutional reform officially enshrined "traditional marriage," while a "gay propaganda law" imposes penalties on any outward expression of gay identity, resulting in police raids on Moscow gay bars. The "LGBT movement" has been designated a "terrorist organization"; media depictions of same-sex love are banned as "deviant content." Yet the venerable littérateur now glorified as a symbol of Russian nationalism may have himself been gay. In Episode 249 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg interviews Javier Sethness Castro, author of Queer Tolstoy: A Psychobiography (Routledge 2023).

In one sickening propaganda display, Tolstoy's photo was dramatically plastered by Putin's regime onto a barrier fence erected around the Mariupol Drama Theater—a civilian refuge that was bombed during the initial invasion of the Ukrainian port city in March 2022, leading to hundreds of deaths (including many children). By contrast, Marta Albertini, Tolstoy's great-grand daughter, hosts Ukrainian refugees in Switzerland.

Sethness Castro notes that some contemporary Ukrainian ant-war writers are in the actual tradition of Tolstoy. Victoria Amelina, a Ukrainian poet and war-crimes investigator who was killed in a missile attack on a pizzeria in Kramatorsk in 2023, wrote the book Dom's Dream Kingdom, narrated from the perspective of a dog who watches his human family struggle over Ukrainian history. This is reminiscent of Tolstoy's short story "Strider," an early harbinger of the animal rights movement, which is written from the perspective of a horse.

Another link to Tolstoy in the news is the British Columbia government's recent apology to the Doukhobors, a Russian dissident religious sect, for forcibly assimilating their children in the 1950's. Tolstoy supported the Doukhobors, who were persecuted by the Tsars for their pacifism, and even wrote Resurrection (1899) to finance their migration from the Russian Empire to Canada. His son Sergei Tolstoy and biographer Aylmer Maude led the resettlement, and Peter Kropotkin (another paradoxical anarchist aristocrat) also encouraged it.

A reassessment of Tolstoy's sexuality is apropos at this moment in light of recent challenges raised against millennia of Christian homophobia. In any case, Tolstoy's anti-militarism provides important perspectives for our current moment, with multiple genocides ongoing, and humanity on the knife's edge due to the risk of escalating regional wars in both Europe and the Middle East.

Non Serviam Podcast #61 - Economics and Empires with Chris Coyne

Welcome to our first podcast of the 2025 movie season! We're starting things off with a bang - a British spy thriller from genre master Steven Soderbergh.

Kathryn (Cate Blanchett) and George (Michael Fassbender) are a married couple and spies at the same agency. When George is informed by his superiors that a traitor is in their midst, it's his job to track down the perpetrators and bring them to justice. But is the traitor his own wife?

Join Jon and Tim as they discuss Soderbergh's career transformation, Old Max 2.0, Cate Blanchett's secret crush, Oscar highlights, Tim’s first TV recommendation, praise for Gen Z, Pierce Brosnan’s legacy, Jon’s defense of Rotten Tomatoes, protecting your family at all costs, the theology of America First, and how far our loyalty should go.

The days of counting swear words are over.  Welcome to a fresh voice in film and faith.  Join Cinema Faith founder Jonathan Butrin and cinephile Tim Nelson as they discuss film through a Christian lens.

Longtime Anime fans John and CC discuss all the ups and downs of the shows they watched start to finish in each freshly wrapped up season.

I'm Alex Goncharov, a passionate musician, composer, and Orthodox Christian dedicated to using music as a means to inspire and uplift. My journey with music began in the USSR, and it has been a steadfast companion through my life in Singapore and now Canada.

As a Sr. Product Manager by profession, I find balance and harmony in life through creating music, writing poetry, and engaging in missionary work. My compositions are deeply influenced by my faith, my love for my family, and my experiences training service dogs and making wooden toys.

In my music, you will find reflections of my spiritual journey and life's lessons, captured in melodies and harmonies that aim to touch the soul. I am also passionate about creating educational content, and my works often intertwine with my projects that aim to teach children about God and the Orthodox Church.
I invite you to join me on this musical journey. Let's connect through the power of music and share in the beauty of life's moments.
I’d love to hear from you! Whether you have questions, feedback, or just want to connect, feel free to reach out.
