I read a batch of all sorts of curious articles on my phone using the Pocket service, and I'll thoughtfully recommend to you the ones that I liked mucho. Most of them are in English, so don't hold it against me: these days in Russian you can only read about ukrops, vatniks, national greatness, liberasts, the two-faced West, and other uninteresting topics.

How ants behave, and why you shouldn't think they have minds, even though they create very complex material and social structures. A long article, but it's in Russian, and very interesting.
