July 26, 2020 Khabarovsk and Russian Sauna
Greetings, Comrades! This is our take on the protests in Khabarovsk – and of course, their new governor, which is a candidate for “weirdest bills introduced in a parliament ever” award. It’s crazy. Also, don’t forget that we just published a new historical episode too – so, check it out, your feed should contain both!

July 10, 2020 The Day Russia Wasn't
Greetings, comrades!
So, that voting thing passed. I want to go back to Siberial colonisation. But I asked online, on socilal media, do you really NEED an episode on the utter amd complete nonsense that just happened…and the answer was “No, but we need You to tell us about it”. And I am telling you about the ultimate farce in election rigging that has ever happened. And continuation on the super antisemitic orthodox priest that took over a monastery. Because why not. Retrurning to reasonable episodes next week, I guess,

We’re experiencing electricity loss here in Ludza, due to hail and a massive storm. So, I literally couldn’t record all I wanted in this episode, but please enjoy the stories of Siberian colonisation up to the mid 17th century. Enjoy!

May 31, 2020 Russian Alaska 1: Into Siberia
Greetings, Comrades!
Obviously, I wasn’t going to tackle all of Russian Alaska in one episode. Because the subject is so huge, that it involves ALL of Russian Empire’s colonial policy. So, for this reason, have one of the darkest ep’s on the show, about how and why I’m not gonna use any Soviet sources in these series. And I also try to give voices to the unheard people’s of the Russian empire. Enjoy!
