Ask someone to recall everything that is associated with the war in Vietnam, and you will almost always get a standard set: the jungle burned by Napalm (yes, these are the first shots of the Apocalypse today for the meditative “The End” The Doors ); children running from bomb explosions; the execution of the captured Viet Congorian by the head of the Saigon police, - for this picture, Eddie Adams received the Pulitzer Prize; The good uncle who was fighting for the freedom of his people, and Lindon Johnson, who sent hundreds of thousands of Americans to Southeast Asia to combat the "communist threat."

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
