"Three days to Kiev"? How about

Would you like me to record something about a powerful Russian mystic/conman Gurdjieff?

In any case, "The Romanovs №4: Game of Thrones" episode will be out in 2 hours or so. Get ready!

Most of this war's footage can be boiled down to this: both sides are launching armadas of drones, mining the territory to all hell, relying on tube artillery, trying to kill each other and swearing in Russian profusely

This conflict is a net loss for both of us - that much is true. But it didn't start in 2022 or 2014. The entire thing is bonkers. You get part of your country chopped off and separated from you. Then you're supposed to act like nothing's wrong with it and we're still friends. Then the separated country starts rewriting its history, tries to divert its culture and eliminate native tongue of the majority of its population. Then they start a real war against their countrymen who refused to toe the line and convert to this new concocted identity. Then they threaten you with starting a nuclear program and inviting a hostile military block to their premises

We lost at Step 1 already. We just preferred not to acknowledge that we became the biggest losers on this planet when certain soviet imbeciles agreed to chop up the body of our country and sell some of its parts for scraps. Psychotherapy says that it's crucial not to sweep your problems under the rug but the 90s were about pure survival - not mindfulness. We recovered a bit in the 00s, got a bit carried away with petty bourgeois lifestyle and stuffing our guts and souls with basic commodities. Then we finally realized that something is missing. We have the lower half of our body amputated by a drunk surgeon with a rusty saw. And get this - the lower half has gained a consciousness of its own and is trying to kick our crippled ass - or what is left of it

A rude awakening for sure, but it was inevitable. It can end in three ways.

The likeliest scenario is low intensity forever war. Would be great for the West, a thorn in our side, it would also turn Eastern Ukraine into a wasteland - and everyone would cheer for it

Second scenario is "nuclear exchange billions must die" wojak dream. Although the chances are slim, it still is far likelier than Ukrainian military victory, reparations and a hipster revolution in Moscow

Third scenario is re-unification of Russian lands. Too bad it couldn't be done via negotiations and cool swift maneuvers in the Kiev suburbs but as Putlor says "курочка по зёрнышку клюёт тук тук тук"

I guess we will see

Bogdan here. Diz vooman - Sara Kirillo - has just announced that P****r's favorite propagandist will be assassinated next week

As i already told you in Bogdan Vision #1 she IS a Putin favorite asset - so i guess this is her personal SUICIDE letter. Stay woke, fellow kozaks. Bogdan OUT!

New episode is out!

The great uprising of Stepan Razin, the short rule of Fyodor III, the succession crisis, the dual reign of Ivan V & a young Peter I, Russia's first female ruler Sophia stepping onto the stage & having the Tsardom join the Holy League — the closing decades of the 17th century were a very eventful time in Russian history. From mass executions and bloody palace coups to shadowy court intrigues and dramatic verbal confrontations: we get a little bit of everything. You won’t want to miss this deep dive into the years that eventually led into the great transformations under Peter the Great.

I have just baptized my son at a local church. Now he's a proper Orthodox Christian with Godparents! He almost did not cry.

Two days ago Azeri soldiers have ambushed a car of a Russian peacekeeping force unit in Karabakh. All of the Russian peacekeepers inside the car were killed. Azeri president has issued an apology to Putin for "mistakenly" killing Russian troops. It happened during the latest attempted Azeri Reconquista of the majority Armenian region

No idea what to say on the matter really. It's foolish to have a peacekeeping force on the ground that lacks any purpose and is instructed not to fire first. It's tragic to die in Karabakh for no reason whatsoever when there are tens of thousands of men who successfully return home from the actual frontline in Ukraine. The disregard for human life and the swamp of diplomatic relations go together, i guess

But it's also important to understand that the very same scenario would have happened in Lugansk and Donetsk if Russia had not intervened and started the SMO. As of January of 2022, Ukraine could have easily conquered the entirety of LDNR - and they did express their willingness to do so at every step of the way. They have ramped up the shelling of the breakaway region in February 2022 as a preparation for an invasion. If the Ukrainians had dealt the first blow in full force, the LDNR defences would crumble. The few and far between Russian soldiers of fortune and military specialists would have been slaughtered along the way - just like our peacekeeping unit in Karabakh. And Russian Federation would have done exactly nothing about it

Thanks to SMO, we have pushed back the "fist" of Armed Forces of Ukraine and achieved a relative operational depth on their soil. Which is why the Ukrainian army - which is much more powerful than the Azeri forces - cannot just roll in and blast away any given Russian target. Because we have served the first serious blow to them and, more importantly, we have outlined what we're actually fighting for in this area

In "Karabakh", though, Russian peacekeepers have no agenda of their own. They're just stuck in there - hated by both armenians and azeris. The place itself is of no crucial interest to us and i really do hope that we either pull back altogether or establish our position clearly. As of now though it's just two Anti-Russian countries fighting for an irrelevant mountain range deep down in Southern Caucasus. Russian peacekeeping force is caught up there like deer in the headlights. I think it's time snap the fuck out of it

Russian MOD starting to give less of a shit with respect to the footage they publish. Usually they never show closeups of dead bodies. This is from Klesheyevka south of Bakhmut, which, despite claims to the contrary, is still very much in the grey zone, not under Ukrainian control. Don't watch if you are sensitive to this kind of thing https://t.me/ukraina_ru/170287

"I noticed a strange coincidence.

Whenever Ukrainians strike at some significant Russian target, a peculiar retaliation follows in a day or two: either a hotel with tourists is hit, or some abandoned facility in an industrial area is destroyed. Open the news a week later, and you'll see that a yacht has sunk with a group of Western intelligence agents somewhere in Italy, or an American general crashes in a light aircraft, or a group of high-ranking NATO officers get into a fatal car accident.

It's all very mysterious." https://t.me/istrkalkglk/4706
