  • This was supposed to be news, but instead it’s the short history of the GRU

    Greetings, Comrades!

    This was supposed to be a news episode, but instead I somehow did a whole thing about the GRU instead. It just came naturally. Also, I talk really fast in this one as…well, I didn’t originally intend to make a whole ep about this and it’s pretty long already. Enjoy!

  • So I was in America…also Dan Carlin

    Greetings, Comrades!

    So, I shipped out to Boston, and went on and had a speech in Harvard, walked the freedom trail in full and did a lot of fun and interesting things in the USA. Also, had a short spot-on interview with Our Lord and Master, Supreme Podcaster, Saint of All who use the Microphone, Dan Carlin. Which is in the end of the episode. Seriously tho, I really liked eagleland, and ths is my story about the experiences there, with the Dan Carlin interview in the end, which I did together with Sam Davis from the Inward Empire podcast. Enjoy!

  • Man of Steel 18: Teatime discussions about Uncle Joe

    Greetings, Comrades!

    This episode is a great discusson with Sebastian Major from https://ourfakehistory.com/ podcast! He’s just done a great three part series on Stalin myths, which you all should go and listen to immediately. We talk about Uncle Joe, about how he’s portrayed, how he’s influenced history and how sometimes, the hardest part is admitting that it’s humans who’re the greatest villain, and not monsters.


    P.S. If you’re in the area, come to the Sound Education conference in Harvard – https://www.soundeducation.fm/ I’ll be speaking there on 2nd of November, my speech is from 3.30PM to 4PM in the Divinity Hall, Divinity Chapel there!

    Enjoy!

  • Interesting times, Crimea edition

    Greetings, Comrades!

    Sadly, the events that happen in these parts unfold so quickly, that I can’t really keep up with everything that I want to do, which would be more specials and Stalin series – but not like I can skip over the news either. Because from Riga, it looks like the world is about to fall apart. Also, on the good news: we have new podcast art! Coming soon, to our t-shirt store, and there will be prints as well! Signed prints!

    Enjoy!

  • Polar Bear Expedition

    Greetings, Comrades!

    This episode is about a “small war”, and you’ll get to know exactly what that means. This episode isn’t fun. It’s horror and war from the first person perspective. This was hard for me to make, and I fully excpect it’ll be hard for you to listen. It should be that way.

  • Latvian election follow-up and protests in Ingushetia

    Greetings, Comrades!

    In this episode, which I just had to make, we look back at what happened to Latvian elections, and also at the utter weirdness of Russian politics lately, including something that might cause some real problems – land trade between Chechnya and Ingushetia.

    Enjoy!

  • PDRP: Latvian Politics 101

    Greetings, Comrades!

    Latvian elections are coming- and they’re among (if not the) craziest one’s we’ve ever had. So, when else would be a better time, to finally talk our own politics. For this episode, I interviewed one of the best Latvian journalists, Juris Kaža, and we tried to make some sense out of this whole sad mess. Mess that’s actually surprisingly important for the whole region, in these…quite interesting times.

    Enjoy!

  • Man of Steel 17: Of Cults, Books and Eliminating the Opposition

    Greetings, Comrades!

    This time, we’re back to our Stalin series, and you get to hear our new editor’s voice too. This episode serves as a wrap-up and a move to a whole new era. Both for the show, and for Stalin – who, at this point, has destroyed the triumvirate, dealt with Trotsky, and…well has ran a massive campaign against illiteracy, which was amazing for him, because you know, when you’ve learned how to read and write using Stalinist propaganda…yeah, what could possibly go wrong there. Enjoy!

  • EXTRA: You’ll laugh, of course, but the last election was fake too…

    Greetings, Comrades!

    This is a super-extra episode. Because I haven’t seen such weird things in ages, and it complements the last, full ep, nicely. For one, in this episode, I root for a genuine Communist. From the Russian Communist Party. Because he deserves that. I know, right?

    Anyhow, enjoy. Had to make this one, upon my journalistic honor.

  • Duelling Tourists

    Greetings, Comrades!

    This time, we look at the ridiculous stuff that has happened in Russia lately. Duelling and tourists, visiting Solisbury spire. Which is 123 meters tall. And has the oldest working clock. Yeah, and they’re also totally NOT GRU agents.

    Enjoy!
