Greetings, Comrades! Was asked to write an article, explaining why the top league in football is at it's worst shape, decided to turn it into a breather episode. If you have even the slighthest interest in sports, you should check out EPL this year - because it's not about who wins, it's about who's going to lose slightly less than the other teams.

I gathered everything that we know for sure and did some proper analysis on what happened, so here you go. Prigozhin's death with all the facts, possible versions of events and proper analysis.

First news episode with our new microphone. Russia says it doesn't need democracy, Z-patriots now seriously advocate for "finding out" stuff about NATO, and why the Luna-25 mission was such an epic failure and why it matters. Oh, and Wagner Group is being pushed out of Africa too. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more inform...

News about the war. Situation on the front, the "meanwhile in Russia" segment, which contains a lot of human rights abuse, and also I got hacked yesterday.  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is the name that was chosen to be the title of Navalny's letter. The first one that he's posted via his team after the latest sentence of 19 years. The problem is - if you pick a title like that, it puts a certain responsibility on You - or more likely Your team. You have to take it seriously, any message with such a title ought to be witty, well-written, explosive and thought provoking. The...

Greetings, Comrades! I'm back from Ukraine, there are things I need to catch up on, stuff happening, articles to write, and lots to talk about. For the next few days I'll be once again releasing episodes daily - otherwise we'll reach Carlin levels of podcast lenght. This time, as I managed to talk with some economists, I wanted to talk about the material side of why I think Russia will be facing i...

I think I just experienced the most Gonzo thing in my life. This...this was a hell of a night. We got arested by Ukrainian border guards on the Transnistrian border, due to an angry, drunk man, who was wearing nothing but his underpants. Also, lost my GoPro.  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Greetings, Comrades!

In this short episode, I explain what our best enemy, Igor Girkin is and why he’s been arrested. If you’ve listened to this show for any period of time, you’ll understand why I just had to.

This started out as an investigation in some weirdness related to the Crimean bridge explosion. But, as it happens, when you go full research mode, and now I give you an episode that should outline the main societal disasters and  their potential causes and instigators that await Russia in the near future. And...sorry for the clickbaity title but it'll make sense in the end. Support this show...

The "butthurt vatniks" edition. Seriously, today, somehow, all levels of Russians who can be seen in the public sphere, managed to cry and get hurt somehow. Official Kremlin, pro war Z-scumbags including Girkin and also the so called "liberal opposition" who made one of the worst PR decisions in their carreers.  Link to German student's gofundme: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-indipendant-jo...
