Edition No193 | 18-07-2025 - After episodes that focused on the utterances of Igor Girkin (Strelkov), here is another repugnant character, but one nonetheless that is speaking out about the ineptitude and pointlessness of Putin’s war against Ukraine. Is this the start of a Z-Patriot rebellion, something that Putin is likely far more fearful of, than the so-called liberal opposition. Z Rebellion: Gubarev, Putin, and the Cracking Facade of Russian Ultra-Loyalism. Today’s episode: how a strange group of bloggers, loud mouths, and battlefield fantasists — the so-called Z-Patriots — are turning on their own emperor – or at least starting to point in his direction and proclaim that the emperor has no clothes on. Our criminal Russian nationalist of the week? Pavel Gubarev. The former governor of the self-proclaimed Peoples of Donetsk in 2014. Once a proud foot soldier of Russia’s imperialist crusade — now sounding alarm bells that Putin’s army is losing. And claiming the losses are spectacular. With Igor Strelkov in jail, Gubarev has inherited his crown — not as a leader of troops, but of outrage. And his new role? Frontline Cassandra. Warning that defeat is near while the Kremlin fiddles and drops glide bombs on Ukrainian apartment blocks yet has no military strategy.----------DESCRIPTION:----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------CHAPTERS:----------LINKS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1TrJyUJljs&t=710shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQesztN6TeAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wixw7suSFjUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNYc7tZxa5ohttps://www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/ukraine-russia-war-donetsk-putin-b2200925.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavel_Gubarev ----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.
