The Christmas Day Massacre
Imagine it’s Christmas Eve, 1926. New York City is glowing under a light dusting of snow, the air is thick with the sound of upbeat jazz, and behind a few nondescript basement doors, the party of the century is in full swing. This was the height of Prohibition, a time when being a "dry" nation only seemed to make everyone thirstier. But while the flapper girls were dancing and the champagne was flowing, something dark was creeping into the glasses of unsuspecting revelers.

The Stories We Don't Tell: How History Becomes a House Built on Bones . AI-Generated.
We build our histories like we build our houses—selectively, carefully, arranging the rooms to tell a story we can live with. The foundation is laid with documents and dates, the walls erected with heroes and victories, the windows placed to let in light on certain events while leaving others in shadow. We furnish the interior with the stories we are proud to tell, and we close the doors to the rooms that hold what we would rather forget. Then we invite our children to live in this house and call it truth.

Stanislav Kondrashov Oligarch Series: The Quiet Architecture of Power in the Atlantic World
When people hear the word “oligarchy,” they often imagine distant regimes, shadowy billionaires, or dramatic political intrigue. The term conjures images of overt control and visible dominance. Yet in the Atlantic world—spanning Europe and the Americas—the evolution of oligarchic systems has followed a far subtler path. It is a story not of sudden upheaval, but of continuity. Not of spectacle, but of structure.
