This time, we are joined by Shawn from American History Podcast, about Reagan, Cold war, collapse of the USSR…and what similarities that has with today’s Russia and much more. Enjoy! Oh, and here’s the link to the article about the Soviet space laser pistol, which totally is a thing: https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/satellites/a21527129/the-soviet-laser-space-pistol-revealed/ Support th...

Greetings, Comrades! Our page is back online, after the attack…and we’re back too, after our sore throat. Navalny’s having it worse. Lukashenko’s having it MUCH worse, but on a mental level, because I simply don’t believe he’s really sane anymore. Enjoy! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder .

Greetings, Comrades! I wanted to end this month on a positive note, so there’s a historical ep about how Russia conquered Eastern Siberia and who were the pioneers and colonisers. I’ve lots of work ahead of me, but I’ll manage. Thanks to everyone for your mails and stuff! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast.

Greetings, Comrades! This episode is basically news updates on what’s up with Navalny and goings on in Belarus as that’s all over the news here. And then, after that some “thank you’s” and as it was my birthday when I recorded this, some general podcast/life talk. Enjoy! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder .

Greetings, Comrades! Continuing from our previous week, I talk about protests in Belarus and of course the #1 event in Russia this week – poisoning of Navalny. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Greetings, Comrades! We’re done with western Siberia. Time to march forward and expand isaiak ever further into the east, while Tzar establishes cities, industrial centers and, of course, all sorts of places where they’ll later exile various revolutionaries.

Greetings, Comrades! This is our take on the protests in Khabarovsk – and of course, their new governor, which is a candidate for “weirdest bills introduced in a parliament ever” award. It’s crazy. Also, don’t forget that we just published a new historical episode too – so, check it out, your feed should contain both! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder .

Greetings, Comrades! Welcome to part 5 of our episodes of Russian colonial efforts, expanding east. This one took a long time to make, so it’s supplemented by a political episode too, posted separately. Enjoy! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast.

Greetings, comrades! So, that voting thing passed. I want to go back to Siberial colonisation. But I asked online, on socilal media, do you really NEED an episode on the utter amd complete nonsense that just happened…and the answer was “No, but we need You to tell us about it”. And I am telling you about the ultimate farce in election rigging that has ever happened. And continuation on the super a...

Greetings, Comrades! This is our cathch-up on the Russian politics and it ain’t pretty. Enjoy! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Greetings, Comrades! Today we continue digging into Russian exploits of colonizing Siberia. In this episode we look at first major battles, deaths of prominent people and how the native people’s got dehumanized. Enjoy! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder .

Greetings, Comrades! We’re experiencing electricity loss here in Ludza, due to hail and a massive storm. So, I literally couldn’t record all I wanted in this episode, but please enjoy the stories of Siberian colonisation up to the mid 17th century. Enjoy!

Greetings, Comrades! Obviously, I wasn’t going to tackle all of Russian Alaska in one episode. Because the subject is so huge, that it involves ALL of Russian Empire’s colonial policy. So, for this reason, have one of the darkest ep’s on the show, about how and why I’m not gonna use any Soviet sources in these series. And I also try to give voices to the unheard people’s of the Russian empire. Enj...

Greetings, Comrades! In this minisode, I explain what sort of bizzarre weird reaction happened JUST after I posted my Kadyrov ep. That is, how we're all evil now, and why I, too, apparently have issues with cops. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast.

Greetings, Comrades! This episode is another topical one, but that’s because I had intended to do my Latvian episode, but Delfi, the hosting site cancelled all indie podcasts there. Oh well.  Anyhow, this is news, because I was nervous and also a Russian National-Bolshevik, which is basically a Pro-Putin, Pro-Stalin Neo-Nazi who’s funded by Russia, working for Sputnik.tv as a blogger has...

Greetings, Comrades! The author’s family, turns out, wasn’t happy about our show. They forbade me to use their matherials…so I brought another KGB spy story for you this time. And man…I HATE people’s personal memoires. Interviews are way easier to process into a script. But…at any rate, enjoy! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast.

Greetings, Comrades! This episode has everything. Protests, rioting, conspiracy theories, warmongering, hatred of america, absolute mad lads from Russian GosDuma…everything. At this point, Russia has 3 out of 4 apocalypse riders, and Death doesn’t seem to be that far away. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast.

Greetings, Comrades! Some episodes make me feel bad – but for various reasons. Some have awful subject matters, some…like this one, was created from a source so awful and incoherent – even though the subject matter is really interesting – that making a coherent narrative was just a massive pain in the backside. Oh, and we don’t even get to the boat itself. Because seriously, if I’d try to mix that...

I'm recording the boat ep, but this just happened, and I simply had to put it for your consideration Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Greetings, Comrades! Boat is coming. Meanwhile, we take a look at how to not to run a country. If it’s being run at this point. It’s all a tad bit weird. Russia’s getting some extra stuff even not counting the virus. Enjoy! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
