The Eastern Border

The terminal stage of Homo Sovieticus

In this episode, you'll find out why people are willing to go to certain death for 20,000$, why more and more of them are aged 40 - 60, what kind of people they are and what's on their minds. Independent Russian journalists at "Vyerstka" just published an incredibly powerful piece, which I decided to give you in full. Because most western media will just ignore it - and those that will take notice are almost guaranteed to misunderstand it. This is a very existential episode, obviously. And hopefully thought provoking.

    We've reached the point in the war where vatniks start to openly confirm my predictions about what's going to happen with Russia in the near future. Also, vatnik poetry. If there's one episode of my show that's a "must listen", it's this one.
  • War in Ukraine: Episode 295

    Today, I'm bringing You an episode full of feel-good niceness, happy emotions and pleasant vibes. How? Well, because the vatnik tears in these few days have been just epic. And their hatred of SPIEF knows no bounds. I don't really understand why, though, as that too was a shitshow....
  • War in Ukraine 294: Value of life in Russia

    57:13|
    Russian government has started to nationalize private property, starting with an airfield. No surprises there, because why would people's property be of any value of the state if the lives of Russia's citizens are considered worthless by the kremlin elite. In today's episode, I'll show you the depths of exactly how far this goes. That, and, of course, vatnik comments on the ongoing events.

    Vatniks react to Israel attacking Iran - basically, they've written off that whole country by now. At the same time, another huge Z post which is sure to spark new internal ethnic tensions by a Kremlin propagandist.

  • War in Ukraine 290: Spiderweb special

    50:35|
    Operation "Spiderweb" hut vatniks more than usual - and some showed the very basics of analytical powers. However, I'd say that this is just a prelude. The main wave of utter lack of faith in Putin is still in the future. That much is unavoidable.
  • War in Ukraine: Episode 289

    45:41|
    Russian official propaganda in the person of Margarita Simonyan threaten to blow up Berlin yet again. Vatniks don't even pretend that anything of the sort could actually happen, while, as usual, complaining about how in Russia, anything that can get stolen, will.
