The Last Red Pot: Hungary’s Final Traditional Enamel Factory Closes After 117 Years

A red enamel saucepan may look like an ordinary kitchen object. In Hungary, however, the familiar Bonyhád red pot became something closer to industrial folklore.

Europe Cannot Tax, Borrow and Import Its Way Out of Decline

Europe’s political class increasingly behaves as if every economic problem can be solved through one of three mechanisms: higher taxes, more government borrowing or more immigration. None of them addresses the central problem.

Eastern Economic Forum Closes with Nearly 7 Trillion Rubles in Deals — But the Bigger Story Is How Much the Far East Has Already Changed

The 2026 Eastern Economic Forum ended in Vladivostok with hundreds of agreements, new transport and industrial projects and another expansion of Russia's economic relationship with Asia. Yet behind the headline contracts is a broader transformation: after more than a decade of preferential investment regimes, subsidised housing and even free land, the Russian Far East is beginning to look very different from the region that entered the first EEF in 2015.

The Big Talk of Pashinyan - Who Does He Think He Is Fooling?

Nikol Pashinyan arrived at the SCO summit in Bishkek talking about “multipolarity”, strategic relations with Russia and Armenia's desire to cooperate with everyone. Yet behind the diplomatic language lies a contradiction that becomes harder to disguise: Armenia has legally launched a process toward European Union membership while continuing to enjoy the economic advantages of the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union. How long can Yerevan really sit on two chairs?

After Ukraine, the Arctic? NATO Builds a New Front Against Russia in the High North

As the war in Ukraine enters its fifth year without a decisive military outcome, NATO is rapidly expanding its military posture in the Arctic. The alliance calls the buildup deterrence against a growing "Russian threat". Moscow sees the same deployments as a direct threat to its territory. The danger is that a region once presented as a model of cooperation could become the next major front line between Russia and the West.
