In this episode, I am joined by Michael from The Red Line for an in-depth discussion about the Russian economy. (Or, well, what’s left of it, besides the military.) We talk about who can still make money there, for how long, and what the multiple ‘?????’ stand for, in the vatnik plans for glorious economical supremacy.

A nice return of our fan favorite segment - Igor Girkin has gotten some free time in his prison cell - and he's been busy writing analysis more than usual. Also, news from the front lines and Putin's actively confusing vatniks.

I'm back home now, and there's a lot of weird stuff to talk about. Putin's surprise unilateral ceasefire left many vatniks sad and confused - and now we have a whole slew of doomer mentality posts intermixed with praises for North Korea. Also, a bit of Girkin and economy news at the end.

Russia is a failed state. And at this point, vatniks are starting to admit it too. Empires crumble slowly and then...all at once. We're in the "acceleration" period.

Russia's now actively trying to interfere in the Baltics again, which has made some people a bit uppity. Thankfully, they continue to be systematically corrupt and incompetent. Oh, and another letter by Igor Girkin. He's awaiting the storm.

A Russian rapper "Pasha Technic" had a mass funeral in Moscow - and that caused a huge outburst of vatnik tears. Because at the same time, Putin's "New Elite" are thrown aside and literally instructed to kill themselves. Oh, and we also have TWO new Girkin letters.

This time, we're back with the updates from the front. And that goes about as well for Russia at the moment, as their economy. The general theme of this episode is "betrayal" - as Russia will ALWAYS backstab you.

This episode is dedicated to #FilthyCapitalists section of my Discord server, because from all the news, the investment people need some hugs and reminder that Happiness is Mandatory. Yeah, it’s all economy. It’s bad. Including Russia. Especially Russia. And it actually matters right now.

Once again, the Moscow Economics Forum is upon us, and there are some truly bizzare speakers. Like Dugin for example. Of course, Girkin's buddies react to this as well and bash the 'evil west', while in Russia itself a realtor from Tomsk has discovered a new method for women to get some quick buck.

Ramzan Kadyrov has gotten himself into real trouble with Kremlin. Girkin reacts to the truce at sea and Moscow Patriachate has decided to turn Dota 2 into a true Orthodox game. Also, there's a new poem for you at the end.
