The Eastern Border

Greetings, Comrades!

This time, we’re back to Stalin. Stalin’s assuming total control, and we’re looking and why, how and what parallels can we draw with today. Because the more Stalin actually gets to do things, the more similarities we can actually draw. Including how things get done. This ep’s to be listened with a thinking cap on. Enjoy!

Greetings, Comrades! And happy birthday. To us!

Can’t really believe that we’ve been here for all this time. Hey IN the episode, I mention that we’ve hit two years, but it’s been three by now. THREE. It’s crazy. And as great as it is, to talk about the podcast and the plans and what’s been going on, we’ve grown now. And Putin just held his 4.5 hour livestream, so called “tele-bridge”. Obviously, we tied that in, or more precisely tied our birthday in. With some historical stuff, some philosophy and the usual “hey, these things happened, but I couldn’t put them in an episode” segment. Oh, and I do have a Stalin ep ready for you next week, and then more history stuff incoming. Unless really interesting things happen again.

Happiness is Mandatory! Enjoy.

In this episode, by popular demand, we look into the whole faked murder thing, concerning Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko. It also gets crazy, raises more questions than answers, and as I received more news, some of them being completely untested, amidst writing the script and then – recording, it’ll also allow to test my sources. All in all, complex. Yet-I hope you’ll like it!

Hi, Comrades! This is a special episode, all about how we treated the computer gaming in the past, and how it’s now. Specifically dedicated to Ian Bodreau, but I hope you’ll all enjoy it!

Greetings, Comrades! Hello from Sweden, where I’m currently visiting PDXCon. But I just couldn’t leave you without an episode, now could I? So, this is why I recorded one before leaving the town. It’s all about Soviet Cinema – but, as it turns out, as there is just a ridiculous amount of stuff to talk about in this subject, I turned this into a Stalin series episode. It’s about the early, really really good movies of Eizenstein, what they meant, and how Stalin made things a lot worse with micromanagement. Serious micromanagement. Enjoy!

Sorry for the delays – we lost a recorded 3-hour interview, AND this episode was very research-intensive. But nonetheless, welcome to the true beginning of Stalin’s era in the Soviet Union. This episode is about the Soviet-Turkic subjugation of Georgia, in the background of which, Stalin had finally assembled his power base. And his machine had finally started running. Enjoy!

Simo had to wait and be contextualized. The ep I just recorded is about people here who believe that Khazar Jew Nazi KGB Satanists from Israel are secretly controlling Putin, to eliminate native people’s all over the world, and especially in Latvia, because we’re the spiritual center of the planet. Dead serious. Latvian conspiracy sites for our first ep in April, because I wanted to make it light-hearted. Anyhow, this is pure crazy. Enjoy!

This episode started with one of our oldest fans, Dave, sending us a book, “Setting the East Ablaze” by Peter Hopkirk. It was about the struggle between Lenin and Bolsheviks and Great Britain about the influence in the east, especially in India. Then, while doing this month’s episodes about Putin and everything, I decided that the book had only English and Russian perspectives, but no Indian ones, and then I googled and researched, and…oh boy, it grew and grew and now I have a whole new aspect of the Eastern Border show that I’ll try to cover. Enjoy!

Greetings, Comrades!

This episode was made by the request of our listener, Oliver. It explains the statement I made in the last episode, where I said that the bombings were Putin’s work. Well, now you’ll know why I think so. Also, more history episodes incoming, I’m getting REALLY tired of Putin.
