As I'm making a news episode about the events in Belgorod oblast, I'd like to give you this interview with a  colleague of mine, Dylan Burns - American journalist and streamer, who's in Ukraine currently and doing a great job there. Everyone should   also check out his homepage, if You haven't already! https://www.dylanburns.tv/

Greetings, Comrades! I was busy with my Foreign Policy Magazine article (which can be found here: https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/05/16/russia-prisons-wagner-group-ukraine-crime-culture/ ) last week, so I didn't have enough time to focus fully on the podcast news. But a major event is about to happen in my home country of Latvia and I really wanted to cover that. So, I invited Juris Kaža, who's been on the show multiple times by now to help me with that. Enjoy! Oh, and check out the article too - especially if you've listened to my Prison Culture 101 episode.

Today is an extremely sad day for me. However. No matter what, Happiness is Mandatory. I bring you the news from Ukraine. Until the war ends. Information about the Ukraine counteroffensive from Prigozhin, Dmitry Medvedev and his nonsense, and new guidelines for Kremlin's propaganda machine. 

Happiness is Mandatory.

Journalists from Вёрстка have created and finalized an in-depth investigation about how Putin first decided that he had issues with Ukraine and how this ties into with Viktor Medvedchuk…which, by the way, is often called “Putin’s Godfather”, and his childhood buddy with whom they did organised crime together. Also, his favorite Philosophers and everything. And I, of course, once again, did not sleep to make sure you get the English version first. Enjoy!

Prigozhin and his personal weirdness coming in the next episode.

Greetings, Comrades! In this episode, we are joined by Zack from When Diplomacy Fails podcast, to talk about how Girkin did (or did not) start the whole mess, make some predictions about the future, and discuss Irish politics a bit, because, they too - technically - are on the Eastern Border of the EU.

I'm hated by the Russian opposition, phone conversations that you have while the phone is tapped are considered public and everyone's on the edge about the counterattack.
