Synopsis

Kremlin Secrets explores the heart of Russian political power through the lens of its most iconic structure. This book examines the Kremlin's architectural evolution alongside the intense power struggles that have shaped Russian history, from the Tsarist era through the Soviet period and into modern times.

 
The book argues that the Kremlin is more than just a building; it is a physical embodiment of Russia's complex relationship with power, reflecting the nation’s evolving identity on the world stage. For instance, the architectural changes reflect changing ideologies, while the power struggles, like those during Ivan the Terrible's reign, reveal recurring patterns in the pursuit of political control.

 
The book provides a unique perspective by interweaving architectural analysis with the political narratives that have unfolded within the Kremlin's walls. It traces how the Kremlin adapted to different eras, from its origins as a wooden fortress to a symbol of imperial grandeur and later, Soviet might.

 
The comprehensive exploration of the Kremlin's history unfolds chronologically, examining its foundational history, key periods shaped by pivotal leaders, and the power dynamics during the Tsarist and Soviet eras, before analyzing the post-Soviet period.

 
Readers gain an understanding of Russian history, political science, and international relations.

    I don't know who I am anymore

    Human beings have always questioned their identity in an attempt to understand themselves better and to develop. With the development of our societies and especially the new technological revolutions, the search for the self has become more perilous and dangerous because it is less controlled.
    In this essay, Thierry Delcourt discusses the mechanisms at play that undermine our identity. Based on a clinical examination of the teenagers and young adults he follows on a daily basis, he questions our psyche in the face of societal upheavals: Are we going to become virtual, to the point of criminalizing all non-consensual contact and, in fact, reducing social empathy? What are the neuropsychic consequences of AI? What are the consequences of the war in Ukraine and Palestine on our identity? What are the disorders related to contact with YouTubers, blockbusters and manga? The disorders related to the questioning of gender and sexuality? To the radicalization of the political debate, or even to the seizure of power by minorities? To drug use, which is increasing year on year? The search for altered states of consciousness and paranormal phenomena, two very strong trends among young people at the moment?
    These disorders affect us all at one time or another in our lives, and particularly in the fragile moments of our development, such as for young people confronted with the world, its constraints and its turmoil.
    Secondly, the psychiatrist provides us with avenues for constructing our identity. “The question is not ‘things were better before’, but 'what do we do with the new social, political and economic order and the transformation of the psyche? How can we resist, describe, criticize, get involved, choose, invent, subvert, play, intervene and impose in order to construct our identity properly?

    Today the Salem Witch Trials are often remembered as being a relic of a superstitious past, and Salem has transformed itself into a tourist haven and Halloween destination by capitalizing off the trials, which remain well known across America. However, most people have forgotten that New England had a “vampire” scare in the 19th century, when superstitious New Englanders looked to lore to explain tuberculosis, a devastating illness for which they had no available answers.  
    	The last and most famous event in New England’s hunt for vampires came near the end of the 19th century after Mercy Brown died of consumption on January 19, 1892 and her body was exhumed on March 17, 1892. Suspicion fell on her as being a possible vampire, and digging her coffin up was an attempt to determine if she was, in fact, a vampire. Her mother and sister had died before her, also from consumption, and when her brother Eddie caught the disease, he had dreams about Mercy. He also had the feeling of a heavy weight sitting on his chest at night. 
    	After her coffin was opened, the remains were examined, and the relatively good condition of Mercy Brown’s body indicated to her family and neighbors that she was indeed a vampire, and that she was responsible for her brother’s illness. While people who think of vampires today conjure up images of Dracula, in 19th century America, vampires were believed to be tied to tuberculosis, which killed millions of people. American beliefs about vampires connected victims who had died of consumption with living family members who came down with the disease, which was quite common because outbreaks of consumption frequently decimated whole families, striking down previously healthy brothers and sisters within a year or two.
