Almanac in Iraq

September was a landmark month in the development of Russo-Kurdish relations. At the beginning of the month Russian delegation of the recent wars veterans from the «Redut - Anti-terror» organization have visited the Iraqi province of Dahuk in Kurdistan and met with the General Muhammad Mohsen Saleh at the town of Ammadia.

Next 14th issue of Almanac «Art of War» has been published. All the texts and the pdf-file of the 13th issue are available on our site.

“Dictionary of War”: philosophy and art

An unusual project known as «Dictionary of War» has brought together philosophers, scientists, military representatives, artists and psychologists from all corners of the world in an attempt to address the modern vision on the psychology of conflict. 150 entries were supplied in course of two-day sessions which have been on since 2006 in Germany, Italy, Austria, Korea, Serbia and Taiwan. 32 more entries are to be added during the Moscow conference, which will take place at the Center of Contemporary Art from August 31st to September 2nd.

The 21st century hasn’t brought peace to our planet. Blood is being spilled in civil wars, ethnic conflicts and acts of terror worldwide. The participants in the conference are focusing on the psychology of modern conflict and each of the speakers will present his or her vision of how warfare or «the language of war» affects human psychology. Among members of the Moscow session of the «Dictionary of War» project is the Chief Edotor of the Almanac «Istusstvo Voiny» Ilya Plekhanov and the writer and Chechen war veteran and corresponsent Arkady Babchenko.

Besides new design, a number of functional changes have been introduced. We now have an opportunity to directly comment the texts and releases of the Almanac, new sections for the Films, Music, Pictures have been created, the front page will be updated on a regular, the forum has been optimized.. Within a year several other important changes will be introduced. Special attention will be given to the military art and translations. Welcome!
