2025/02/06

Greetings, Comrades! This should be treated as the sequel to my Terminal stage of Homo Sovieticus episode. The independent Russian opposition media ‘Verstka’ did another great piece on the Russian soldiers, this time about an amputee rehabilitation center. I found the article to be extremely important and so, here’s a translation of it, with some of my added thoughts and comments. It is literally an inhuman void of complete darkness, and I also got massive PTSD flashbacks and a panic attack while

The weird story of Sokol Kazan

The Eastern Border ·

2025/02/02

This episode is very unlike my regular stuff – but a contact of mine from Russia sent me a sports story that is just so strange, that I had to include it somewhere. So, you’re getting this “footy special”. Normal news episodes and some history incoming soon, but this story is genuinely bizzare. Consider it a throwback to our early days and enjoy!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2025/01/31

A sincere and very human talk with my friend and a listener of the show, Gabriel a.k.a Lord Grapefruit about transgender issues. What the Z-vatniks and Russian propaganda say about LGBT people and why it’s important for Putin’s regime to blame them for everything, answers to listener questions, mostly from the average Latvian including very conspiracy theory one’s that would quite probably would not be considered appropriate elsewhere, and also a very human look on the LGBT issues and the political

Peculiarities of the National Special Military Operation

The Eastern Border ·

2025/01/22

This episode's named a bit differently, because I owe a moral debt to the honorable and proud nation of Louxembourg. But it fits - as today we're looking at how Z-vatniks react to Trump's inauguration...and contrast it with the real situation on the ground. There's some brutal analysis by the Rusich group at the end as well.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I finally completed the economy episode, that I had promised long ago. With some…well…economically philosophical essays by a few very well respected Russian opposition economists. So that you’d get some autoritative opinions on my views about why, in the long term, Putin’s just screwed over the regular people completely.Also, join my discord:https://discord.gg/WsYwnupcSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.
