  • Homo Sovieticus and the utter darkness of an existential void

    50:41|
    Greetings, Comrades! This should be treated as the sequel to my Terminal stage of Homo Sovieticus episode. The independent Russian opposition media ‘Verstka’ did another great piece on the Russian soldiers, this time about an amputee rehabilitation center. I found the article to be extremely important and so, here’s a translation of it, with some of my added thoughts and comments. It is literally an inhuman void of complete darkness, and I also got massive PTSD flashbacks and a panic attack while working with this material, so…there’s a lot to think about.
  • The weird story of Sokol Kazan

    23:05|
    This episode is very unlike my regular stuff – but a contact of mine from Russia sent me a sports story that is just so strange, that I had to include it somewhere. So, you’re getting this “footy special”. Normal news episodes and some history incoming soon, but this story is genuinely bizzare. Consider it a throwback to our early days and enjoy!
  • Secrets of the LGBT Industry ft. Gabe

    01:15:33|
    A sincere and very human talk with my friend and a listener of the show, Gabriel a.k.a Lord Grapefruit about transgender issues. What the Z-vatniks and Russian propaganda say about LGBT people and why it’s important for Putin’s regime to blame them for everything, answers to listener questions, mostly from the average Latvian including very conspiracy theory one’s that would quite probably would not be considered appropriate elsewhere, and also a very human look on the LGBT issues and the political left in general.Please also check out Gabe on YouTube and Twitch, currently he’s playing Vampire: The Masquerade and it’s tons of fun!https://www.twitch.tv/lordgrapefruithttps://www.youtube.com/@lordgrapefruit
  • War in Ukraine: Episode 264

    46:17|
    Russia's reaction to Trump's ultimatums. Angry at first, then predictably sad - Igor Girkin has given lengthy comments as well. And a Russian scientist gets imprisoned for "wrong research", that did not even happen in Stalin's era.
  • Peculiarities of the National Special Military Operation

    46:48|
    This episode's named a bit differently, because I owe a moral debt to the honorable and proud nation of Louxembourg. But it fits - as today we're looking at how Z-vatniks react to Trump's inauguration...and contrast it with the real situation on the ground. There's some brutal analysis by the Rusich group at the end as well.
  • War in Ukraine: Episode 263

    44:28|
    Dugin complains, that Russians are interested only in money. Which makes sense, seeing as their country is about to run out. Solovyev produces a massive fail for propaganda and now everyone hates his guts and vatniks discuss how the impact of drone warfare.
