Image by Getty / Futursim Treatments Despite being backed by death-fearing billionaires, Donald Trump's administration has detained — and seeks to deport — an acclaimed anti-aging researcher. As the New York Times reports, 30-year-old Kseniia Petrova, a Russian-born lab researcher at the Harvard Medical School, was detained at Boston's Logan Airport upon returning from a trip to France. Soon after Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine in his second attempt to annex its former Eastern Bloc neighbor,

Only four spacecraft have ever returned images from Venus’ surface. The world next door doesn’t make it easy, with searing heat and crushing pressure that quickly destroy any lander. In 1975 and 1982, four of the Soviet Union’s Venera probes captured our only images of Venus’ surface. The Veneras, which mean “Venus” in Russian, scanned the surface back and forth to create panoramic images of their surroundings. They revealed yellow skies and cracked, desolate landscapes that were both alien a

Russia launched three secretive satellites into orbit earlier this year, and they appear to have recently released a mysterious object. The satellites’ unusual maneuvers have reignited concerns that Russia may be testing military capabilities in space—or even preparing for space warfare. The trio of satellites—designated Kosmos 2581, 2582, and 2583—launched on February 2 aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. Russia hasn’t declared the purpose of the satellites, but the secretive launch raised suspicio

The EU is getting further from its goal of weaning off Russian fossil fuels by 2027. Imports of Russian gas rose by 18 percent last year, a new analysis finds. “It is a scandal that the EU is still importing Russian gas,” said Pawel Czyzak, an analyst at energy think tank Ember and lead author of the new report. The spike in imports comes despite the fact that demand for gas stayed flat, according to the report. While the EU is aiming to disentangle itself from Russia, it still lacks a legally

It takes viewers into an alternate version of 1994.

Since the 2016 election of Donald Trump, there has been some debate over how effective Russian propaganda has been at swaying the opinions of American voters. It was well-documented back in those days that Russia employed large IT companies, most infamously the anodyne-sounding Internet Research Agency, with the sole remit of churning out divisive, pro-Russia content targeted at Americans, but quantifying the impact has always been imprecise.
