The only young Russian I ever mentioned anarchism to remarked some line that seemed to be from a textbook about how "anarchists only knew how to destroy, not how to build." It's funny that in Ukraine, they have been trying to reclaim Maxho as some nationalist hero rather than an anti-statist.

British twat who speaks Russian nowhere near as good as he thinks, and especially nowhere near to be as patronising about it as he is. Balls deep into Russian culture (not the genuinely curious kind, the creepy Twitter broadsides at Russian women kind), and is paraded by separatists/opposition across various hotspots in Ukrainian war zones and conflict areas like a local village idiot. So yeah, a lovely chap filming POW degradation or blatant boots of a totalitarian mob regime, with spare time hobbies such as getting kicked from a bunch of European countries for being highly provocative (always, without error, matching an angle reported by RT or Sputnik or the like. Maybe even Zvezda, but not even Russians, even those who are paid to do so, are crazy enough for Zveda.) and, if I remember correctly, defending sex offenders on Twitter (iirc he had a raging hardon about Assange).

Oh, and that time he tried to harrass Brown Moses's relative, if I am not misremembering.

And this is, you know, broad strokes. It's been good 3 years since we've heard any much of him on a regular basis.

E: Took a bit of digging for my favourite tweet of his:

https://twitter.com/GrahamWP_UK/status/574522480511049728

After that there're like 30 posts of him backpedalling as to how he totally tricked Ukrainian loyalists with this master bait.

i liked that zvezda documentary about saddam doing lsd

There are now two теремок restaurants in NYC. It is pretty hilarious because they advertise as health food in the US.



Yelp reviews indicate they are attracting the correct clientele, however.

It's so loving stupid is what it is. My god, an ICBM that can dodge ABMs with computers. The Americans have never thought about this! It's the classic Russian strategy of making something stupid and then telling everybody. In the US they make something stupid and don't tell anybody. That's the main difference.

День Победы is once again upon us, and Kremlin watchers around the globe tune in to see what will go wrong and what new terrifying death machine the Russians will try to show off.

Things to watch for:

- To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Red Army, there will be Bolsheviki reenactor columns, not just the usual WWII reenactors. It will be interesting to see how these are addressed, as recently there has been some trends towards identifying the Russian linage with the Whites.
- Kinzhal hypersonic missile, two were shown off in the Rehearsal, these are a big new propaganda piece but many are skeptical. It seems just like a Aircraft lunched cruise-missile.
- SU-57s will apparently also make appearances in the flyby.

- The wildcard: Something catches on fire.

I wonder how exactly this happened. Did the writer just have all of that wrongness sitting in their head, did they ask an idiot for help, or did they somehow extract that anti-knowledge from Google?

People cannot grasp that everything east of west berlin was not the Soviet Union.


This also applies for honorary "east" places, like any place where slavs live.

It seems likely that Trump agreed to a referendum on partitioning Ukraine during his summit with Putin.

The administration was sent a proposal detailing an apparently agreed upon plan for a referendum, which they rejected.
