1:17

Greetings, comrades, and welcome to

1:19

the Eastern Border. This episode was

1:21

hard to make because, for one, not

1:24

much is happening on the front lines. Ukraine's

1:26

attrition strategy is working. Russia

1:28

will not mobilize until the end of the year because,

1:31

well, they started their traditional

1:33

autumn conscription thing already.

1:36

So not much changes there. But

1:39

to compensate, as with anything in nature,

1:41

there needs to be some balance. So we

1:43

have Russia just going utterly

1:45

insane to the levels that I

1:47

actually asked my fiancée

1:50

Evita to do a transcript for me. You'll

1:52

hear about that later as we're going to move

1:54

from the least insane

1:55

to the most insane things that

1:57

you could possibly imagine on this episode.

2:00

which I had to rewrite a couple of times because, well,

2:02

apparently saying, trust me

2:04

guys, this is real and this comes from verified

2:06

sources and everything serious, just

2:10

sounds really bad, I think. But

2:13

yeah, we'll start with all the weird

2:15

stuff that you probably know. First of all, there

2:17

was a huge fuss a couple of days ago about

2:19

the fact that publicly available records were

2:22

just published in Moscow City's

2:27

homepage, you know, like the mayor of Moscow

2:29

approved of these. And these revealed

2:32

the hidden locations, more or less hidden,

2:34

of Russia's military intelligence agencies across the country.

2:37

See, according to Russian law, it's totally

2:39

illegal to share any information about military

2:42

intelligence in other areas or anything. But

2:46

these places, these addresses were published

2:48

online by the authorities

2:52

of the Moscow City, basically

2:55

as part of a list of energy consumers

2:57

whose power supplies cannot be hot. The

3:00

lists are found alongside, like, you know, non-secret consumers,

3:03

like medical, government, transportation, and the police

3:05

facilities. And they just happened

3:07

all over the place. Now,

3:10

this had been there for years and just that nobody really

3:12

checked. And I'm pretty sure the Ukrainian Secret Services

3:14

know all this information by heart, anyways,

3:17

because it was there for years, apparently. And

3:20

like 90% of these buildings will

3:23

have their tags on them. The interesting part

3:25

is that there are just random apartments in

3:29

between all this stuff. This was public information again,

3:31

yes, but no one really bothered to check,

3:34

except, of course, relevant secret services. But

3:36

basically, yeah, alongside your GRU

3:39

or command facility, FSB

3:42

trading facility, there is a random apartment,

3:44

the random Moscow building going everywhere

3:47

else. And that's like the FSOs

3:50

of the FSBs and everything. And they're

3:52

just crazy, lots of places. You can probably

3:54

still find that online. Now, however,

3:57

things that people didn't mention much is the

3:59

fact that...

4:00

Apparently, the Federal Protective

4:03

Service, which is the one that protects Putin,

4:06

has some association apparently with a cafe

4:08

right next to Boyfriend Theater, which is the fun part

4:10

of this. Of course, interestingly

4:13

enough, a lot

4:15

of mansions of the wealthy

4:17

people are listed there, weirdly

4:19

enough, a bunch of buildings owned by

4:21

the Russian Orthodox Church as well. Interestingly

4:24

enough, the list does not appear by the way

4:26

comprehensive across all of Russia with no

4:29

common theme, most of them are just in Moscow. No

4:32

military sites were listed in the Belgrade region, by

4:34

the way, which has been an acting ground for airstrikes,

4:37

but I guess the guys there were

4:39

a bit more smarter. And

4:41

also, no locations listed in Chechnya. But

4:44

there are details of sites connected to the FSB in

4:47

villages in North

4:49

Ossetia, the occupied Georgia territory.

4:52

There's a map and everything online, and that's kind of crazy,

4:55

because you can spot them. As

4:57

the commentators put it, yeah, I know, it's the

4:59

endless bureaucracy, they were told to post

5:02

a list and they don't care that it

5:04

really doesn't work for other laws or anything, it's

5:06

just that they post it and everything's

5:09

done. So that's good. And

5:13

moving on, because that was weird, a lot of people

5:15

talked about the public sources, but no one had

5:17

checked and it was still illegal.

5:20

Meanwhile,

5:22

in Russia's Tver region, a bust

5:25

of Joseph Stalin was installed at the

5:28

Midnoye Memorial complex for victims

5:30

of wars and the repressions of Russia. Yes,

5:34

it's crazy. Apparently, they

5:36

have put on monuments also to Vladimir

5:39

Lenin, Felix Jarinsky and Mikhail Kalinin

5:42

in the same thing. This

5:45

is kind of interesting.

5:48

This is just so bizarre, because

5:50

that's kind of like putting a statue

5:54

of Hitler in a Holocaust memorial.

5:57

How's that for fun? It's

6:00

kinda like just bizarre

6:03

and surreal, but this is the reality where we live

6:05

in now. This is reported

6:07

by the regional outlet Seven Times

6:09

Seven, from referencing Tver,

6:12

activist, like political opposition Daniel

6:14

Corpuso. And he wrote the following,

6:16

quote, Now the liars have become more

6:19

skillful, they don't tear down monuments and force

6:21

you to forget. They chatter on and on about it. And

6:23

then, when everything isn't so black and white,

6:26

as at its climax, you can throw in the mustached

6:28

goal, so that anyone who by fate ends

6:30

up at a memorial site won't see the tragedy

6:32

of thousands of ruined lives, but a

6:35

multi-colored, sorry, hodgepodge,

6:39

that's Corpuso, bro. And it's

6:41

kinda funny because, again, apparently

6:44

we're now, but then after

6:46

putting Stalin in Orndog's churches, you

6:49

know, what did people expect?

6:51

I mean, this totally made sense. Now

6:55

onto a bit less surprising parts of everything. Grozny

6:59

police, after getting a bunch of stuff

7:01

about Adam Kadyrov's son,

7:05

the son of Glamznyk Dirov, a good buddy

7:07

of the show, Todor Laskol, I wish he

7:09

would, you know, die pretty soon, they

7:11

refused to open a criminal investigation

7:14

for beating the prisoner Nikitos Rovio, saying that, quote,

7:18

a 15-year-old has not reached the age

7:20

of criminal responsibility, which

7:22

is just amazing because that thing happens

7:24

to you when you reach 16 in Russia, I suppose, or

7:27

maybe like earlier in life, you're like 13. It's

7:29

not the age of consent or something. It's

7:32

just that it's just always

7:34

crazy. Always

7:36

crazy and a

7:39

bit mad about this whole situation. But

7:41

of course, nothing really happens or stuff like

7:43

that.

7:44

But this is one of those, you know, I used to

7:47

study from my mentor, Alexander Zodov,

7:50

and his show always does these pair

7:52

news, you know, you take one piece of news

7:54

and then you put the other one next to it, and then you look

7:56

at them in context, and then both news

7:58

get right and much more.

7:59

and much better.

8:01

And the pairing used in this case is that they

8:03

recently, finally, finally they admitted

8:05

that, yeah, I think a month

8:07

ago or something, that was a month ago, yes, this

8:10

pilot from Ukraine, from Russia,

8:13

he defected to Ukraine with his aircraft,

8:15

with his, I think it was an MI-8

8:18

helicopter or something, and then he landed

8:21

in Ukrainian territory. He apparently, either

8:23

he or the Secret Services of Ukraine, they

8:25

had to shoot his, well,

8:28

the guys who were with him, and then

8:30

he defected before he had contacted

8:32

the Ukrainian Secret Services and his family

8:34

was sent to save space and got

8:37

everything, like everyone went out of Russia.

8:40

But

8:41

after this happened,

8:44

like two days ago or something, I'm sorry, I've been working

8:46

on this for a long time, two days ago

8:48

or something, I think it was two days ago, another

8:51

pilot decided to defect to Ukraine,

8:53

and this was a kind of a scout pilot,

8:56

I suppose, intelligence

8:58

services related pilot, who had a vacation

9:01

in the so-called friendly nation of Russia

9:03

that is United Deder Bemorats. And

9:06

over there, he has this vacation,

9:08

he goes there and first thing he did was just march

9:11

straight up to the United States Embassy

9:13

and defected instantly, saying that he doesn't

9:15

want to go back to war against Ukraine and

9:18

that he'll do the show full cooperation. This

9:20

has been confirmed, just waiting for more

9:22

interviews. And after this, after

9:24

these events, the GRU guys

9:27

came on the television, our most

9:30

favorite channel of all times, Russia

9:32

One, had a show about this

9:35

whole situation, the first time they mentioned something like this

9:37

happening. And these

9:39

GRU agents stated that

9:41

the person who had defected to the first case

9:44

with the plane and everything, that he will not live

9:46

until court, we will punish him how we deal with

9:48

traitors. And

9:53

this kind of makes sense, again, in parent news, because

9:56

if

9:58

nothing, if a regional governors

10:00

can send his 15 year

10:02

old son to beat up someone in jail

10:05

brutally and then the police says

10:08

that they can't do anything. It was just

10:10

normal that one step above in the

10:12

federal district, even if

10:14

we ignore Prigozan's death but whatever,

10:18

obviously on the public TV the federal center

10:20

is going to just threaten with out

10:23

of court prime time murders

10:25

of other people. This

10:27

is how Russia works these days. Prigozan's

10:30

dead, many people are dead. In this context

10:33

you have to look back at the fact that Adam

10:36

Kadira of Ramzul Girov's son just only beat

10:38

up the prisoner. He did not straight up murder

10:41

him and I think that's a bit of a sign of

10:43

progress even if you think about it. But

10:47

all in all it's all about mass murders. It's

10:49

all about mass murders these days because for

10:51

one I do have

10:53

to say that Margaret Semenyam, that's

10:55

the latest news which also had to be in my

10:57

script. Margaret Semenyam made my day,

11:00

made my day perfectly and

11:02

she just stated the dumbest

11:04

things that are humanly possible

11:06

and this is not the end of everything yet.

11:09

So and

11:11

she's now, whether I hate it by all

11:13

the pro-Zed circles and all the guys

11:15

who want to denazify the horrible

11:18

fascist Ukraine, yeah you know,

11:20

Givkin and Buddies right they're now going

11:22

after her Armenian roots and you know

11:24

being all over like racist places

11:27

at the time it's weird since every

11:30

time you know something considering you know some other

11:32

nationalities happens I think it's really

11:34

for these guys naziism

11:36

or fascism is only people who don't like Russians

11:39

without any other conditions but I'll get to

11:41

it. Margaret Semenyam is a horrible human being

11:43

and she's a definitely, well like Gebel

11:47

she will also have to apologize in trial.

11:50

She also is a person that said at one point

11:52

I think it was a month ago or something that if

11:54

ever there will be honest elections in Russia that

11:56

all of us are going to go to trial and end our careers.

12:00

She said this unironically, and then she, you know,

12:02

was happy for not having honest elections. That

12:05

was in context because she was trying to be

12:07

sarcastic. She felt miserably. But

12:10

basically, she just blew up a thing, and

12:12

she reached, I think, I think she's finally reached

12:14

one Zhyrinovsky. No, wait, I thought, this might be difficult.

12:17

This might even be 1.2 Zhyrinovsky's. To

12:20

those of you who don't know, Vladimir Zhyrinovsky

12:23

was a Russian politician who died

12:25

last year, and we used him as a measurement

12:27

of total insanity in the political scene. So

12:31

what happened is that she was on, I think it was

12:33

on the show or on the

12:35

television, I think

12:38

it was on the show, really, because I watched the video

12:40

on this, I'm not exactly sure. She

12:43

proposed detonating a thermonuclear

12:45

device. And

12:47

that's the thing here. You'd think that,

12:49

you know, it's normal at this point for them to think that

12:52

nuclear crane, nuclear united states or anything. No,

12:54

no, no, she proposed nuking Russia. Yeah,

12:56

she's a Russian, she's an RT Editor in Chief,

12:58

mind you. She works for Russia. And

13:01

she said is that apparently they can't,

13:03

apparently she was complaining that you can't nuke

13:06

Ukraine, you can't nuke Washington, it's gonna be horrible,

13:08

we're all gonna die. So what we can do,

13:11

and she quoted some sort of physicist that

13:13

apparently she knows, she's

13:15

also very stupid. I think she just

13:17

told her out of random Wikipedia

13:20

or something else. She said that

13:23

we should detonate a thermonuclear

13:25

device on our own territory, somewhere near Siberia.

13:28

She claimed that there would be no impact on the humans living

13:31

below there, like, you know, it's Siberia, no one lives close,

13:34

it's not gonna be a nuclear winter, nothing's gonna happen,

13:36

it's awesome. Like, if Russians

13:38

just explode of nuke in the air, Bob

13:41

Siberia somewhere like kilometers away from something.

13:44

And she was cheerfully saying on

13:46

her television show, quote,

13:48

is that, what will happen is that all the

13:51

electronic devices and satellites will be locked out. And

13:54

it's like, it's like crazy. I

13:57

was just so dumb. And she said that.

14:00

nuclear detonation over Siberia is needed to send

14:03

a painful message to the west amid

14:05

a nuclear ultimatum that's becoming more and more impossible

14:08

to avoid and she also said that this is

14:10

the most humane option. She

14:12

also said that she doesn't allow her kids to have any gadgets

14:15

and that that would save her some troubles because such

14:17

a nuclear explosion in Siberia where people

14:19

wouldn't die or so she thinks

14:22

would just basically mean that a massive

14:25

electromagnetic wave tracks down

14:27

vehicles and drives us all back without

14:30

electronics

14:30

or anything.

14:32

It's a bit insane

14:34

and she doesn't allow her kids to have

14:36

phones or something and then she would have to listen to them

14:38

complaining about other people,

14:41

other kids have various gadgets and we don't.

14:44

If this sounds quite much insane to you, yeah

14:46

you're right. First of all, the

14:50

fact that you know not

14:53

even counting the fact that the

14:55

explosion that would actually destroy satellites

14:58

and just damage electronic devices all

15:01

over the world and doing

15:04

significant damage, yeah

15:06

I know, that

15:08

would not be something like a single

15:10

nuclear tiny explosion. That would basically

15:13

mean that Russia would not have anything to eat

15:15

and the last be irradiated for I don't

15:17

even know how long, that would be a massive, massive

15:20

catastrophe. And

15:22

then there's also the fact that I highly doubt

15:25

that anyone in the West would care if they would explode anything

15:27

over their own country. I mean in

15:30

the sense of not care by the fact that they would just instantly

15:32

invade Russia, 100%. And

15:35

finally there's also

15:38

this thing about nuclear testing. See

15:40

even this went so crazy about

15:42

her that even Kremlin distance

15:45

itself from Sumerian's remarks, Dmitry Peskov

15:48

said something like which was

15:50

not false, he said that quote,

15:53

her words do not reflect Moscow's official

15:55

stance and that Russia has not abandoned its moratorium

15:57

on nuclear testing.

17:04

Nikolai Korolev, an aide to Moscow City Duma member,

17:06

Yevgeny Stepin, said he had petitioned Russia's

17:08

Interior Ministry and investigative committee

17:10

to probe Semyon Yanov's remarks. Because

17:12

obviously this is, you

17:15

are calling publicly for the benefits of

17:17

nuking your own country. That's

17:19

good.

17:20

Secondly, Russia

17:23

has a whole center E

17:24

which looks for extremism. And

17:26

to them, you know, a lot of people are

17:28

extremists. If you disagree with the Kremlin, you're an extremist.

17:31

This is a case where someone just wants to nuke

17:33

Siberia. They're ruining tons

17:35

of nature and everything. Look,

17:40

it's a bit difficult. I'm not a physicist, but I

17:43

watched physics professors

17:46

react to this situation. And

17:48

a lot of them were laughing about the fact that how dumb this

17:50

is. Because again, if you want to demolish

17:53

all our electronics with one nuke, then

17:55

boom. This is beyond

17:58

stupid again. throwing

18:00

racist remarks because

18:02

she's Armenian and yeah

18:05

a lot of people are saying she either needs to apologize

18:07

or that you know someone needs to go completely crazy

18:09

and just punch her or something. Maybe

18:12

explode her, I wouldn't mind by the way. Now

18:14

the thing is again this just shows that Russia's

18:16

propaganda machine is just going out of course.

18:19

They know they're lying they know nobody's listening

18:21

at this point because those who support the war are listening

18:23

to the very same Zayn channels that I am and

18:26

reading all those Telegram channels because Koloshenko

18:28

with his daily reports have just destroyed

18:30

any possible credibility that Russia's propaganda

18:33

has to have. But again

18:35

so they're not trying something extreme they're

18:38

trying something something bizarre this

18:40

just shows their utter inability to even I

18:42

don't know manage to say something slightly

18:45

believable. Then again you know not

18:47

like the guys in Siberia are many like

18:50

much more sane than than Simonyan

18:52

is of course they demanded her apology from the

18:54

official services and everything and she's going to be a lot of trouble

18:57

however you know you have to remember that for

18:59

example I think it was two

19:02

years ago or something the governor of

19:04

Siberian region one of the governors

19:06

there was photoed and

19:09

published in social media his

19:11

barbecue in the forest during

19:14

the wildfire season. Wildfires were happening

19:16

so you know it's not not

19:18

that great that you know quite quite likely

19:20

they don't care themselves that much. Like I said the insanity

19:23

is getting to getting to my nerves.

19:26

But before we get to the final final part

19:28

20:31

a long time as you that everything that's happening.

20:33

He'll be fine

20:34

Now the final part is something

20:37

that I thought that I had to give

20:39

to you

20:40

see for one

20:41

For one there's a lot of thing

20:43

and I didn't believe this actually happened until this

20:45

was reported by next and other Reputable

20:48

sources. So this actually happened and

20:51

it's real and it's not some sort of fake call. Apparently

20:53

this was confirmed on the ground and And

20:57

the event that happened and really stunned me about

20:59

everything that shows how everything we've gone into

21:01

this fear culture of Russian criminalization there

21:03

is the fact that the Ukraine posted a

21:07

video

21:08

a tiny video about About

21:12

tanks and we've made a transcript

21:14

here Well, I've it my fiance made

21:16

a transcript and I translated for you because

21:19

there's a lot of rumors a lot of you know Here's the

21:21

over this but no one sat down and calculated everything study

21:25

goes that That

21:28

Ukrainian army officer Well,

21:31

he was annoyed by the fact that all the

21:33

tanks that they capture are Poor

21:37

quality and then he starts his His

21:40

video by saying that I'm frankly tired

21:42

of Russian tanks. These there are no

21:44

analogs of 2021 Yeah,

21:46

all these tanks for B

21:49

there be 3m t-72 90m

21:52

for 3 or 4 million. You know what?

21:54

Let's call the Russian designers who make and repair them and He

21:58

did this is confirmed And he

22:00

actually called to Ural

22:03

Tang Zavod and called the

22:05

guy there. And the guy actually talked to him

22:08

for a bit. Then I'll just review the whole conversation

22:11

because it's amazing. And yes, this

22:13

has been confirmed as real. Like I said, this

22:16

was the part which I had to triple check with. But

22:18

yeah, here we go. This is from the

22:21

Ukraine. And also this is normal because apparently

22:23

this just shows that these guys running

22:25

these factories in Russia, oh, they're very, very scared

22:28

about their positions and how they're doing. Hello,

22:30

Alexander Novolovich. Sorry for being so late. Do you have a

22:33

minute? Yes, yes, I do. you.

22:36

Well, right. Look, here's the problem. We pour

22:38

in everything, the oil and everything, and it spits out oil.

22:41

That's the first thing. You know, it just

22:43

spits out everything. And second,

22:46

it turns out that the compressor does not pump

22:48

the atmosphere into the cylinders. So, I'm going to

22:51

go ahead and talk about the problem. The

22:55

compressor does not pump the atmosphere into the cylinders. So,

23:00

and you have military acceptance?

23:03

Who conducted what there? We

23:06

are an unarmed group. It's a new

23:08

tank which we can't operate in. It's not realistic to fight

23:10

on it. Let's do

23:12

it this way. I'll be at the Enterprise on Tuesday. I'll

23:14

be with people at Burro, in

23:16

Tago. But you're the

23:19

competent guy. The tanks were developed under you. Yes,

23:22

they were developed in my time. I know who makes them.

23:25

Well, these questions about the tank, we're constantly fixing

23:27

it. Like, one thing or another. You see a tank

23:29

manufactured in 2021, can't go into battle. It

23:32

breaks down all the time. You can tell them who assembled

23:34

them in 21 that they're just pure assholes,

23:36

honestly. That's easy. Here

23:39

you go, $3 million. As far

23:41

as the engine goes, that's not for the guys. No,

23:44

no, no, no, no. Look, look, look. The combat module,

23:46

first of all, it just burned up. You turn the system on a curve,

23:48

it just went smoke, shorted out, stopped working. The

23:51

fucking spinning like a T-3476 in the 40s, manually spinning

23:54

every time. The

23:57

cylinder inflation system for starters is not a

23:59

problem. adequate either. Put

24:02

in the new adequate compressor but after that excuse

24:04

me it still doesn't fucking pump.

24:06

And HP

24:08

and what you want tried

24:10

and all the additives and everything that you stuff

24:13

it in and nothing goes in. Well

24:15

let me put it this way I've got three positions on Tuesday

24:18

I'll say hello I'll tell you that I'll be present

24:20

I'll tell you it's a live broadcast if you need anything go leave

24:22

your contact number. Again here he

24:24

is worried that this might go alive or that

24:26

this is propaganda or something or that he's

24:28

talking to everything. This

24:32

is my number my contact the guy who

24:34

called in response I'm the commander of the armored

24:36

group battalion K2. No

24:38

fucking way no new tanks no equivalents all

24:42

right I heard you dial.

24:47

Ah screw these new tanks better old Soviet tanks.

24:49

I heard you I'm

24:51

in contact with those guys who are dealing with this problem from

24:54

Chelyabinsk. I know them.

24:59

Tell them in Chelyabinsk the new engine is spinning out oil.

25:02

I'll call them to the office in the presence of leaders

25:05

tell them from the K2 battalion from the front from

25:08

Donbas fucking tanks. Yes

25:11

yes I can do that. Thank

25:13

you very much we'll fight on. So

25:16

this is the first call right and

25:18

this is this

25:22

is just great because besides

25:25

Alexander Novivić they

25:29

actually managed to found five besides the designer

25:31

guy they managed to be called Andre

25:33

Avakumov the general director of

25:36

Uralvaganza Vodtranz

25:40

and

25:42

they called whether

25:44

they called to kind of complain about him because they got his

25:46

number from the previous guy they called which is

25:48

amazing quote hmm hello

25:51

good evening sorry for being so late question about the tanks

25:53

T-72B3M they said

25:56

you can be addressed we have a lot of problems with this time

25:58

you're the CEO right They gave me your contact

26:01

and told me to change my approach to work. There are

26:03

a lot of problems with the work. We have a lot of problems with

26:05

the turning system, Vlogs burn out, oil spits

26:07

out, and we have a lot of time failures. What's

26:10

your name?

26:11

Alexander, I'm the commander of Armored Group K2.

26:14

I heard that Alexander. I have a big request

26:16

to you. You can describe the problems and moments that bother

26:19

you in WhatsApp message. I've already

26:21

reached out to you because it was not so easy. I'm

26:23

in Donbas now, at the front. I

26:26

will organize a detailed review of these issues

26:28

by the chief designer of this machine. Together with the designer

26:30

of the design this. It's

26:33

all on this stuff. Say

26:35

that they make tanks, and there are analogs, and we repair

26:37

them for 20 hours a day. They break down all the time,

26:39

you know, in fire control system, and the turret

26:41

turret and everything, just... Whatever. Alexander,

26:44

I hear you understand everything. It's very important to describe

26:47

it all in detail. I'll

26:49

write it down. Look, Armored Group K2

26:51

in Donbas. Tomorrow we will rewrite everything.

26:53

Armored Group K2 in Donbas writes your complete list

26:55

of problems of this tank. Please eliminate these problems

26:58

so that in the future we will not have such a situation

27:00

again. Yes, yes, exactly what I want. I'm

27:02

ready to take this all into account. Well,

27:05

thank you very much. Can you

27:07

please tell me who is so generous to share my contacts?

27:09

Can I just not tell you who it is? He'll tell you.

27:12

Sure. No questions. Goodbye.

27:16

So they...

27:18

So they call them. So

27:21

they call them, basically. And...

27:25

Managed to guide the guys and everything. Then there's

27:27

a bit more crazy conversation where

27:30

they managed to go down and actually call back

27:32

the designer and tell them they're from Ukraine and teach them

27:34

to say that heroes should be... That

27:37

you have to respond glory

27:39

to heroes, from glory to Ukraine and everything. And

27:41

they're just so stupid and crazy. But yeah, the fun

27:43

part is in the first two minutes. This

27:46

guy's laughing all the time over the place. And

27:49

there's a lot of swear words, even more than the previous part

27:52

and the following one, so... I'm gonna

27:54

skip that one. But... Yeah.

27:57

So in the news, we have... Russians

28:00

wanting to nuke Russia, Stalin being put in

28:04

the memorial, and the Ukrainians

28:06

managed to just basically... basically

28:09

just... respond...

28:12

respond and be a tech support of Ukrainians

28:15

who complain that their tanks that they can take over

28:17

are just way too broken. Bit

28:20

of insane stuff, isn't it? But

28:22

to attend this episode on something, I have

28:24

to remind you that we're still hanging out

28:26

with Alex from History Impossible.

28:29

I'm pretty sure that he'll be on the show again sometime.

28:32

And I'd like to quote Alexander

28:34

Dugin, because I'm following right now to him as well. See,

28:38

recently Smolensk was hit by

28:40

drones, and it was like scary, and the mayor

28:42

of Smolensk stated that everyone

28:45

needs to keep calm and don't leave house

28:47

without a reason, you know, all the traditional stuff. And

28:50

to which, to top off this list of total

28:52

death-called insanity that Russia has turned into,

28:55

well, this is what Dugin wrote, quote, and this

28:57

is a modern-day philosopher of the Russian

28:59

whole ideology system, quote. The

29:02

point of balance, the point where you...

29:05

the cornerstone needs to be... needs

29:07

to be looked for only in death. Only

29:10

then you can... only on that, only

29:12

on death, you can base religion, culture, art

29:14

and politics. Life is

29:17

way chaotic and changes

29:20

way too much to be

29:22

any sort of cornerstone for

29:25

literally anything. So, you know,

29:27

right now we're gone into full death-called

29:29

territory. And, you know, it

29:32

kind of shows, at least Dugin is

29:34

probably going to be friends with Simanjan.

29:37

I just

29:38

don't really know if he'll

29:41

enjoy living in a totally new

29:43

Russia. But it's always funny. We've reached

29:46

new levels of military revenge. And

29:49

that's about it for today. So

29:51

thank you for listening. That's the Daniel Tovidation. And

29:54

please stay in touch and keep listening and I'll

29:57

just go and finally get some sleep right now. Nasvedenie,

30:00

tovarischi. And hey,

30:03
