Episodes

Episode 198: Nude Christmas 27.12.2023

Russian conservatives, who were just informed by the evils of oral sex and other western degeneracies now have to cope with the fact that they're own "cultural elites" just organised an "almost naked" Christmas. And oh boy, that blew up. Also, don't trust anything Arestovich is posting now, he's gone completely insane. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast...

War in Ukraine: Episode 197 22.12.2023

Doom and gloom in western media, I've caught covid, and Russian officers are torturing soldiers for christmas gifts. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Russian Family as the Basis of Russian Statehood 19.12.2023

The main thesis of a real Russian academical law journal article about what's been happening with Russians. It's utterly insane. Don't listen with kids around. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

War in Ukraine: Episode 196 13.12.2023

Venezuela/Guayana crisis 07.12.2023

War in Ukraine 194: Mothers 30.11.2023

War in Ukraine: Episode 193 26.11.2023

We have a special request here, as in Chechnya a friend of the show's brother is being persecuted. Russia's education system is, apparently, "being assaulted by the west" and GosDuma is trying to prevent kids from learning about the casualities as it seems to be bad for the morale. Also,  Putin gave a  dumb, nonsense speech. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder ....

Shame. Anger. Pain. 17.11.2023

To my great surprise, it turned out that the EU and some US companies have been selling precision machine tools for ammo production to Russia throughout the war. And they haven’t been sanctioned at all. (Warning: Episode contains a LOT of swearwords) Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast.
