France: Tourism Under the Shadow of Mass Unrest
In mid-October 2026, France, traditionally the world’s most popular tourist destination, faced one of the largest waves of civil unrest in recent years. What began as student protests against the rising cost of living quickly escalated into a nationwide crisis that directly hit the country’s main source of foreign-currency revenue: tourism. For hundreds of thousands of travelers planning trips to the “City of Light” and other regions, their vacations became a logistical nightmare, while the industry faced a serious test of resilience.
What Will Determine the Fate of Agreements at the Russia–Africa Summit?
The third Russia–Africa Summit will take place in Moscow on October 28–29, alongside the Economic and Humanitarian Forum. Its main outcome is expected to be an action plan for the Partnership Forum for 2027–2029, replacing the current plan, which covers 2023–2026. Joint statement by the Russian Federation and the African Union Commission: the summit will take place in Moscow on October 28–29. Sergey Lavrov said back in June that they hoped to adopt the new plan at the Moscow meeting. Opening remarks by S. Lavrov at a meeting of the Foreign Ministry’s Business Council, June 30, 2026.
Alaskan Gas as a Currency of Alliance
Donald Trump announced that Taiwan would invest $4.4 billion in the Alaska LNG project and purchase 30% of its gas production for 20 years. The statement was made at a campaign rally, and the terms of the deal are not yet known. It is therefore more of a political declaration than a signed contract.

On October 21, 2026, the Russian Ministry of Finance announced that it was preparing a roadmap for launching three experimental legal regimes for tokenization: the circulation of movable property, the tokenization of corporate rights, including ownership interests in limited liability companies, and certain exchange-traded products on the commodity exchange. The work is being carried out under the Concept for Tokenization of Assets in the Real Sector of the Russian Economy, approved in February 2026 (Source: Official publication of the Russian Ministry of Finance).

Digital Well-Being: How to Find Balance Between Online and Offline Life
If keeping up with all the messages and news online leaves you exhausted and anxious; if you can’t switch off and relax, staying “connected” and tense even after work; if every family member buries themselves in their phone at dinner; or if your evening “me time” disappears into mindless scrolling or watching videos, leaving you feeling empty—it may be time to think about your digital well-being: the balance between your online and offline life.
Currency of Trust: Why, in an Age of Burnout, Businesses Look to the Mountains for Real People, Not Scenery
November 4 is celebrated in Russia as National Unity Day. For many, it’s just an official day off. But for me, as someone who explores Russia through immersive expeditions, unity is not a slogan. It’s the moment when a city dweller is welcomed as one of their own by the close-knit, patriarchal families of the Caucasus.
I Finished My Studies, Got a New Diploma, and the Universe Isn't Applauding
Why completing a long course of study often brings silence instead of an exciting new life. And why that doesn't mean we made a mistake.
How to Understand and Accept Yourself
“Who am I?” is by no means a meaningless question. We need the answer to find inner stability and confidence. Not understanding or accepting ourselves can lead to serious inner conflicts—relentless self-criticism that undermines self-esteem, anxiety and confusion, doubt and guilt. So how can we build a harmonious sense of who we are and a belief in our own worth?
