This week, vatniks were busy writing about Russia’s future after the war and how it should function – which is in stark contrast with reality and how this failed state actually functions. We also have a description of how exactly Russian assaults look like. And I might be mistaken here, but a death rate of 179/180 of a squad isn’t really a good thing.

Russian economical voes have caught up to it's healthcare industry - abulances are woefully slow and certain meds are unavailable. (MD's listening to this will have a blast.) Also, a long letter from Girkin and the regular vatnik gloom.

Welcome to the...ermm...Orange Border, I suppose. I continue to work here, as the Russian economy is still in the mud - and vatniks are dreading any pause in the war, as they feel that their whole army will collapse. Oh, also at the end, Finns did a funny thing again.

Vatniks are confused about Russia's relationship with the USA, Putin's secret service officers get paid 900$ per month so have to become part-time delivery workers and Ukraine has a clear superiority in drones.

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 – and what he probably doesn’t 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. Girkin’s officially sad now. Z-vatniks experience troubles from Kremlin – everything indicates that Putin’s preparing a crackdown on these “turbopatriots”.

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 ‘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.

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!

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!

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.
