Episodes

Lukashenko’s crazy adventures 14.09.2020

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 .

Russian Alaska 7 – Who lived there? 31.08.2020

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.

Updates on Navalny/Belarus and Birthday thoughts 30.08.2020

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 .

Russian Alaska 6 – God is in heaven and the Tzar is far away 01.08.2020

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.

Khabarovsk and Russian Sauna 26.07.2020

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 .

Russian Alaska 5 – Tribal Adventures 26.07.2020

The Day Russia Wasn't 10.07.2020

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...

Russian Alaska 1: Into Siberia 31.05.2020

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...

May Madness Minisode 31.05.2020

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.

Ramzan Kadyrov has Covid! 26.05.2020

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...

Boats 2. Kind of. 19.05.2020

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.

Glorious Incompetence 27.04.2020

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.

Spy Boat 1: We don't even get to the boat 17.04.2020

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...

Prison Riot Mini 11.04.2020

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.

A cursed episode 08.04.2020

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.

Covid 19 is a tool for democracy 30.03.2020

Greetings, Comrades! We’re fully awake from our infection. And might even read the comments on our website and respond to them, which I haven’t in a while. But anyways, this is all about how Putin’s regime is acting like a fish out of water, and don’t know what to do with this situation. This virus…just might be their downfall. Enjoy!

Fever Dreams 26.03.2020

So, I’m in quarantine now. And I’m feeling very ill too. 🙁 To stay alive, and not just sleep all the time, I’ve decided to produce podcasts, so that you also go through this agony.

Quarantine 16.03.2020

Greetings, Comrades! In the light of the Covid-19, storming arount the world, our buddy, Vovochka, has decided to basically nullify his own presidental terms. Together with oil prices and rouble. It’s more funny than you think. By this point, Putin's carreer needs to be a Blumhouse movie. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder . Hosted on Acast.
