We don’t know when it will come.
We don’t know what it will be like.
But we do know that it will come
and that we won’t like it
at all.

There arise occasions in the course of human affairs that cannot be properly characterized without resorting to the strongest possible language. In situations when nothing can be made to work and all has come undone the term “collapse” tends to get a lot of use, but it is too abstract and too technical to do justice to the visceral experience of the event. The need to be vivid and evocative yet polite when referring to financial, commercial, political, social and cultural collapse forces people to resort to euphemisms. Referring to collapse, the Russians tend to make references to “the white furry animal,” thereby indirectly referring to the arctic fox, Vulpes lagopus. Take this white fluffy animal into your heart, and you will no longer have to wanly banter about collapse; instead, you can now harness the full depth of the sacred and the profane and refer to it as “the advent of the arctic fox” or, if you want to be coy and use a euphemism, you can instead obliquely mention “a certain furry animal.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Blunt talk reaffirming much of what I also have seen coming, now more convinced than ever.

Great writing, per usual with Dmitry, in relatively simple direct language, with ample well informed references to the great literature and historical references, reminds me of the great style of Pepe Escobar. The book dramatically expands upon his essays, brings us up to date on his latest thinking/analysis. My neighbors and I were already on the trail, aware of impending financial collapse of this American Ponzi Scheme, and that Russian missile technology has made the US Navy completely irrelevant, excepting for the submarines. We are stockpiling foodstuffs, converting fallen trees into stacked firewood and purchasing wood stoves even, as this fracking gas runs out. It is increasingly going to be a cold cruel worl here in the States.

4.0 out of 5 stars Orlov rocks it once again! Try it you'll like it!
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2021

Another great offering by Orlov, useful especially to those like me who cannot get past the paywall on his webpage. The criticism of climate science in this one was the real eye opener and thought-provoking standout for me, with which I will be wrestling for some time. His usual wit and clever, calm description of reality are still in fine form, and the man is hilarious, as usual.

Only giving it four stars because the typos and silly grammatical errors in almost every essay, especially for such a linguist and scholar, get on my nerves. Not a big deal, considering this man saved my life with a PowerPoint presentation involving the brick walls of planetary resource limits way back in the glory days of 2009, so give it a try. Dmitry rules! Peace!

5.0 out of 5 stars Offers much needed perspective
Reviewed in Canada on February 10, 2022

It is fun and exhilirating to read a straight-shooting cultural/political/technical critic such as Orlov. He does not give a hoot for political correctness or hurt feelings. His observations on the current state of the world and in particular the mess that a certain hegemonic power has gotten itself into is blunt, brisk, and refreshing.
I particularly enjoyed his insights into why and how the collapsed USSR recovered into today's prosperous Russia. What's chilling, even for a Canadian, is his explanation for why the same cannot be expected for the good old USA.
Alas, he is all too likely correct.
