In this episode: the staggering hypocrisy of project leads who build "digital prisons" for Russians while living comfortably in Vienna, Austria. Also, from behind bars, Girkin warns that the current "Peace Plan" is a suicide trap, while Kalashnikov argues that the "Raw Material Empire" is collapsing and 2026 will look a lot like 1917.

Greetings, Comrades – the time for the Migthy Potato awards has come! So, join us for this (very unscripted) first episode of the year, where we give out The Migthy Potato to the worst and funniest nonsense that we’ve seen last year – and, ehh…as usual for when I want to relax a bit, weird things happen in the world. Also, I managed to accidentally…

25. "Noble Knights" & Corruption : The Truth Behind Russia's '91-Drone Attack on Putin's House' Lie 30:53

In this emergency news episode, I tear down the "Valdai Mirage." I look at the physics that make their claim impossible, the massive bureaucratic screw-up that exposed the lie, and the hilarious meltdown of the "Z-Bloggers" who are furious that their government can't even fake a battle correctly. Happy new year, Comrades. This one's free for patron…

Today I'm back with an oldschool style episode, because I really needed a break from the news - so I give You the story of professor Igor Lipsits - if you remember, he was a guest on the show and talked about the Russian economy not so long ago - about how back in 1989, the Politburo tasked him with trying to save the financial health of the USSR. …

The "peace plan" continues dominating the news feed. In this episode I look at the Z-vatnik take on it, how Putin has reacted to that non-document personally and a quite plausible conspiracy about this whole affair that's gaining traction in the Russian opposition circles.

Well, the one good thing to come out of this peace deal thing is that it's yet another boost to European Union military efforts and unity. In all seriousness, it won't go anywhere as Putin will never sign it. Sure, it doesn't look good for the Ukrainians - and that's the only thing I've seen western media and experts cover - but it legitimately loo…

39:32

I recently made an episode about the horrific fascist ideas of Alexander Kharichev, the "Civil War 2.0"one. However, according to Girkin's buddies - club of angry patriots and Russian people's militia, who are setting up cells all over Russia, Kharichev was not only nowhere near hard enough. Their ideals are MUCH worse and they gave me a pause. Luc…

The news episode that I wanted to release before the glorious civil war article plopped up. We have a lot of Igor Girkin to catch up to – but the main story ties with the ep. 17 marvelously. Because at this point, mainstream Russian economists, the same who called Lipsits a doomsayer, now have gone past fear and openly admit that an economic collap…

A high-ranking Kremlin official Alexander Kharichev, chief of monitoring the social media in Russia, just wrote an article about the possibility of civil war in Russia. I take a deep look both at that and his previous work, which is all about the “Russian Civilization”. Let’s see what they’re building and why all of this is going to come tumbling d…

Darryl Cooper from Martyrmade whom I owe a lot to, just released an episode where he claimed that Russia is winning this war.

I had to channel my Gonzo style for this one again. You see, there was yet another article, that was just published in the west, stating that Russia's somehow adapted to this war and has modernized and innovated solutions to the problems they had in the early war. The only thing Russia's innovated are new and clever ways of graft and embezzlement -…
