June 11, 2020 Russian Alaska 2: Tax Collectors but very armed
Greetings, Comrades!
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!

May 31, 2020 May Madness Minisode
Greetings, Comrades!
In this minisode, I explain what sort of bizzarre weird reaction happened JUST after I posted my Kadyrov ep. That is, how we're all evil now, and why I, too, apparently have issues with cops.

May 26, 2020 Ramzan Kadyrov has Covid!
Greetings, Comrades!
This episode is another topical one, but that’s because I had intended to do my Latvian episode, but Delfi, the hosting site cancelled all indie podcasts there. Oh well. Anyhow, this is news, because I was nervous and also a Russian National-Bolshevik, which is basically a Pro-Putin, Pro-Stalin Neo-Nazi who’s funded by Russia, working for Sputnik.tv as a blogger has now gone to Latvian cops and wrote that I’m about to murder him and that he’s deadly afraid of me, because I wrote on his last super provocative hatred bullshit that people like him should be shot, while tipsy. Boo. We’re scary now. Let’s see how this works out, but just in case, I’m letting you know.
Enjoy!

May 19, 2020 Boats 2. Kind of.
Greetings, Comrades!
The author’s family, turns out, wasn’t happy about our show. They forbade me to use their matherials…so I brought another KGB spy story for you this time. And man…I HATE people’s personal memoires. Interviews are way easier to process into a script. But…at any rate, enjoy!

April 27, 2020 Glorious Incompetence
Greetings, Comrades! This episode has everything. Protests, rioting, conspiracy theories, warmongering, hatred of america, absolute mad lads from Russian GosDuma…everything. At this point, Russia has 3 out of 4 apocalypse riders, and Death doesn’t seem to be that far away.

April 17, 2020 Spy Boat 1: We don't even get to the boat
Greetings, Comrades!
Some episodes make me feel bad – but for various reasons. Some have awful subject matters, some…like this one, was created from a source so awful and incoherent – even though the subject matter is really interesting – that making a coherent narrative was just a massive pain in the backside. Oh, and we don’t even get to the boat itself. Because seriously, if I’d try to mix that one in as well, you’d probably get very confused at the end. But the groundwork needs to be set, and this is what we do here. Enjoy!
