Alex and Jay both lost some of their equipment since we last spoke. Gear is very precious in a war zone, and we thought we'd support our friends by doing a little fundraiser for them so they can get some new mostly peaceful stuff. Please consider sending some of your crypto to the wallets below, dear whales and HODLers. 100% of the money will be sent to Alex and Jay and of course we'll show you the receipts.

October 25, 2024 RWA Interview with Nikolay from "Videos from Mariupol"
We invited Nikolay, a student and vlogger who runs the "Videos from Mariupol" YouTube channel, to discuss his experiences during the first months of the SMO, how things have changed since Mariupol became a part of Russia, and what it was like to grow up in the post-Maidan Ukraine. We discussed his personal story, his evacuation from the city and what the rebuilding process looks like... There were also a bunch of questions from our subscribers that we asked him.

Today's Radio Deza features a Bolshevik General switching sides, a prodigal Romanov prince, a suicidal battle in the mountains and tales of lost treasure... It's 1919, and we're going to the Fergana Valley. Join us!

August 15, 2024 RWA x Thierry Marignac: On Limonov and poetry in times of war
A change of pace. We interviewed a French writer and translator of Russian poetry, Thierry Marignac, whose name i butchered hilariously at the start of the pod.
He was good friends with Eduard Limonov and married his ex-wife who taught him Russian. He frequently visited the USSR and Russia as a guest and witnessed the rise and fall of the eXile firsthand. He translated one the greatest modern Russian poets, Boris Ryzhiy.
