    Greetings, Comrades!

  • Covid 19 is a tool for democracy

    Greetings, Comrades!

    We’re fully awake from our infection. And might even read the comments on our website and respond to them, which I haven’t in a while. But anyways, this is all about how Putin’s regime is acting like a fish out of water, and don’t know what to do with this situation. This virus…just might be their downfall.

    Enjoy!

    So, I’m in quarantine now. And I’m feeling very ill too. 🙁 To stay alive, and not just sleep all the time, I’ve decided to produce podcasts, so that you also go through this agony. In this one, I try to talk about plagues and famous people who’ve suffered from them in Russia. Enjoy!

  • Quarantine

    Greetings, Comrades!

    In the light of the Covid-19, storming arount the world, our buddy, Vovochka, has decided to basically nullify his own presidental terms. Together with oil prices and rouble. It’s more funny than you think. By this point, Putin's carreer needs to be a Blumhouse movie.

    Greetings, Comrades!

    This minisode is about what happens to people like me in less safe environments. Because a friend of mine just survived an assassination attempt. Oh, and if you’re a rich oil tycoon, please, we’re 500$ short of paying off our med bills. Off to get the boat ep script, but hey – ultra rich listeners, please throw a bit of cash our way.

    Also…enjoy. And Patreon stuff coming out in the next 24h too. If technology will allow us.

     

    Oh, and by the way, Ramzan Kadyrov is a murderous piece of shit, disgrace of Chechnya and all Muslim community, complete waste of oxygen, worst among worst, a fly on a pig’s tail, the devil excretes and his army eats, a total and complete pile of human garbage. Thrice damned, nine times condemned, may he suffer an eternity in hell, and even that would be too little for him.

  • Tinder of the 1920's

    Greetings, Comrades!

    I still haven't received my spyboat script and book yet, which is a complete shame, but I had this very interesting subject to look at. Namely, relationship ads in Latvian press from about 100 years ago, and with a bit of analysis, we can discover some quite interesing facts about the society of that time period.

    Enjoy!

  • News, but with some cheer. Maybe.

    Greetings, Comrades!

    Sorry for the ep, being so late, ran into a lot of issues, like my health and my cat, literally eating my mic cable. Oh, and when I got back home, turns out, I had left my USB flash with my script, and the book about the ship in the place I stayed at. Just…winter wonderland Latvia. At any rate, thankfully there’s plenty of news in Russia to heep everyone entertained. Enjoy!

  • Word Salad

    Greetings, Comrades!

    I did what I had promised on social media, and translated the weirdest response to a journalist question that I had ever heard. I also look at a recently dead, ultra-conservative priest who had said that Stalin did the work of God, that female circumsision is a good thing and called for a physical purge of Russia’s internal enemies. Oh, and four CEO’s of Belarus’s sugar factories have been arrested in suspicion of a plot. This…this is a strange one.

    Enjoy!

  • Book Reviews

    Greetings, Comrades! I managed to do a really dumb thing and fumble into a sewer hole, due to a hard-to-notice half-closed sewer lid and hurt my leg real bad. So, I’m talking about all the books that I’ve received and am reading now, with a rant about WW2 tossed in between. Some of those books you should even buy. I don’t know, I’m in pain and my head isn’t exactly working. Enjoy!
