Navalny's life did not have a significant impact on Russia, as much as the deceased might have wished otherwise. And his death will not have any impact either, as much as his circle might wish for it. People will discuss conspiracy theories for a while and then start forgetting.

I don't think that he was assassinated by the FSB or the CIA or the SBU. The Russian prison system really sucks & being stuck in a concrete cage in the Arctic Circle tends to cut into one's life expectancy. This is the most boring explanation & that's why nobody will believe it.

3 years ago we recorded an episode about Navalny's biography & career, shortly after his return to Russia after the weird poison incident; might be of interest now for some background info. Half hour on Youtube, full episode on Patreon.

Azov soldiers are...yeah trapped inside of a huge labyrinth-like bunker below giant soviet-era industrial plant.

Man, these procedurally-generated missions are getting out of control.

Avdeevka has fallen.

Commander-in-chief Syrsky has just announced complete withdrawal of Ukrainian troops out of Avdeevka.

"Koksohim" Industrial plant was taken by Russian troops.

Yesterday Greece became the first (and as we hope - the last) orthodox christian nation to adopt same-sex marriage.

This is how Keridis, one of the Greek ministers justified this decision:

“Even this has its significance in the geostrategic competition between the West, which approves of LGBT rights and is an open, free society, and Russia, which fights with fanaticism on these issues through its systems such as, for example, the Moscow Patriarchate.”

So yes, in case you did not know - buttfucking has geostrategic value.

New episode with Big Serge! The big man himself visited the RWA studio to tell us all about how the War in Ukraine is just like the War of the Spanish Succession. I think we kept the balance between interesting and spergy juuust right. Tune in, very fun episode!

Fleeing nazi rats with US flag patches speaking a pidgin language of rural pig noises and Russian swear words whose gfs are prostituting themselves all over the world

Aka the Losing side of History.

The difference between liberal and “imperial” approaches to nation-building is that the former is conceptually unable to differentiate between different groups of people; every minority is automatically “poor” and “oppressed”. Tuvans, Buryats, Yakuts are fierce warrior peoples with a proud martial tradition stretching back many centuries, and they have been known as great soldiers ever since they first put on Soviet/Russian uniforms. This makes them BASED, not “victims”.

The frontline is now active in Zaporozhye oblast. The Village of Rabotino, the only successful gain of the Ukrainian 2023 "counter-offensive", is currently under Russian attack.
