War in Ukraine 298: Russia as a religious experience

The Eastern Border ·

2025/07/10

As everyone in the Z-vatnik community is getting more and more gloomy, Girkin’s recent text made me understand how to best formulate how Putin and vatniks see Russia. You have to treat it as a religious entity, and it starts to make a lot more sense.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast.

War in Ukraine 297: Azerbaijan

The Eastern Border ·

2025/07/03

In the past few days, Russian callousness and casual racism has led to conflicts with Azerbaijan on an unprecedented scale. Traditionally viewed as one of Kremlin's closest allies, Baku is now fed up with how it's imperialist neighbour is treating Azeri nationals and Aliyev is striking back. A lot of what's happening is amoral, dirty and outright petty - but it hits Kremlin straight into national pride.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast. See

Today, I'm bringing You an episode full of feel-good niceness, happy emotions and pleasant vibes. How? Well, because the vatnik tears in these few days have been just epic. And their hatred of SPIEF knows no bounds. I don't really understand why, though, as that too was a shitshow....Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast.

War in Ukraine 294: Value of life in Russia

The Eastern Border ·

2025/06/19

Russian government has started to nationalize private property, starting with an airfield. No surprises there, because why would people's property be of any value of the state if the lives of Russia's citizens are considered worthless by the kremlin elite. In today's episode, I'll show you the depths of exactly how far this goes. That, and, of course, vatnik comments on the ongoing events.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

Operation "Spiderweb" hut vatniks more than usual - and some showed the very basics of analytical powers. However, I'd say that this is just a prelude. The main wave of utter lack of faith in Putin is still in the future. That much is unavoidable.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast.

Russia's not taking the peace talks seriously - you can easily tell by whom they've sent there, which is not lost on the Z-vatniks as well. Girkin's posted a bunch of new analysis about what's going on in the front, and Russian economists predict further deteoriation of the economy.

Vatnik mindspace is full with discussions about the peace talks. One of Girkin's closest buddies, Pavel Gubarev, who used to be the first governor of the so-called DPR has gone completely insane, but even other vatniks now outright admit that a military victory for Russia has become impossible...but they also hate the possibility of a ceasefire.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.
