I was supposed to have a day off today, but then Trump and Vance literally destroyed the geopolitical, rules-based order of the world that had been in place since the end of WW2. However, Happiness is Mandatory. Things are going be rough, but not catastrophic.

I made this breather episode about a truly great animated movie from Latvia that's got a golden globe and is now nominated for an Oscar, because it is truly a masterpiece and I highly recommend it to everyone. I just did not know I'd post it in an evening as fucked up as this one.

A dictionary of the terms used by soldiers on the front and Z-vatniks, made with the help of my Ukrainian friends at the front - so that the western analysts (and You, comrades) know what's what and don't get confused.

The third anniversary of this nightmare. Vatniks are full of doom and sadness, same as the Russian economy. There's also some news from Girkin.

Everyone's going full WTF right now, because Trump's made a massive blunder in the peace negotiations. Including vatniks. We've no idea what's going on, and I'm having to explain this not only to you, but also to my friends on the front lines. Russia's problems haven't gone anywhere, of course - a collapse of Ukraine simply won't happen. But USA's reputation has now reached an all-time low at this point.

What to watch for in the incoming peace talks. What Putin wants and why â and what he probably doesnât care about. Z-vatniks lament the degeneration of Russia, and I take a look at their economy once again, to show why it looks extremely bad in the long run.

Z-vatniks continue to react to Ukraine peace talks. They are NOT happy, and they don't see it as any form of victory. Instead, they're becoming more and more disillusioned with Putin. Oh, also Russian economy is continuing to go down, and nobody seems to care.

Updates about the Kursk region. Girkinâs officially sad now. Z-vatniks experience troubles from Kremlin â everything indicates that Putinâs preparing a crackdown on these âturbopatriotsâ.

Igor Girkin and other Z-vatniks write about how Russia's doomed in case of an armistice, Russian army gets delivered military donkeys and Ukraine makes a breakthrough in the Kursk region. Also, Girkin's buddy Kvachkov has gone completely insane and is writing a manifesto. This and more in today's news catch-up episode.

Greetings, Comrades! This should be treated as the sequel to my Terminal stage of Homo Sovieticus episode. The independent Russian opposition media âVerstkaâ 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, hereâs 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, soâŠthereâs a lot to think about.

This episode is very unlike my regular stuff â 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, youâre getting this âfooty specialâ. Normal news episodes and some history incoming soon, but this story is genuinely bizzare. Consider it a throwback to our early days and enjoy!

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 itâs important for Putinâs regime to blame them for everything, answers to listener questions, mostly from the average Latvian including very conspiracy theory oneâs 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 heâs playing Vampire: The Masquerade and itâs tons of fun!

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.

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.

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.

Opposition analysts look at the Democrats and especially Jake Sullivan and their numerous failures related to the war, meanwhile Z-vatniks are extra worried that a societal collapse in Russia is likely unless there is a radical change in the administration. Which isn't going to happen.

I finally completed the economy episode, that I had promised long ago. With someâŠwellâŠeconomically philosophical essays by a few very well respected Russian opposition economists. So that youâd get some autoritative opinions on my views about why, in the long term, Putinâs just screwed over the regular people completely.

This year started with an infamous traitor to Latvian people dying in Russia. I wanted to talk about this guy, who also happens to be a buddy of Igor Girkin, but then I fell into a rabbit hole.

In this episode, we take a look of the Russian economy and what the main news stories not related to the war were in Russian infosphere. Spoiler alert: Theyâre more screwed than you could probably imagine. And thatâs even IF they manage to end the war with something positive.

Latvian Public Broadcaster has an interesting research on the Russian "liberal opposition" journalists, Ukrainian drone advancements shock Z-vatniks and Transnistria is collapsing.
