You have a big heart! Your observations express regret, even in your humorous passages, but I notice a good degree of hope from you. We must never despair because then we are defeated.
You know..... that Shokoladnitsa.... I had good memories of it. I went there a few times the last time I was in Moscow (which was a long time ago). Why, or why do all romantic memories of pop culture have to die?!!!! Why.
Taiwan did the same for the kids outdoor playgrounds. They even taped off the basketball and tennis courts, and just to be safe taped the hoops nets closed. I didn't dare mess with it being the only white guy in the neighborhood and with all the cameras here
The biggest virus going around is the Dumb Virus, or maybe the Evil Virus (or some combination)
"Russians understand that I am not Barack “The First African President to Destroy Libya” Obama, or Pedo Joe, and I am very grateful for that."
Yeah, the irony of the"free " world which is actually the reincarnation of the Roman empire who also thought they were "civilizing" others...
It's collapsing and it will be hell for those who believed in the system or those who thought the system was good in the past... Both are going to be fucked.
I may or may not have committed copycat crimes in Queens, NY playgrounds involving chains and padlocks at night in certain suburbs prior to my departure from the state.
Ironically, wearing a face covering as there were cameras and "white female" would have stood out.

Thank you so much for this blog, Riley. It is as if it was personally addressed to me.
One of the first things I did in the early days of the covid scam was to look at how the related policies in Russia were, and I got quite disapponted to see them no different from anywhere else. Being the fraud so obvious and the aims so evident, I had somehow assumed Russia of all countries would not go along the West-led line of restrictions, lockdowns and "health" measures. But it turned out it did. Presumedly an anti-globalist government -I had said to myself- lead by no fools, the Kremlin will surely laugh at the western paranoia and opt for sparing its population all the absolutely unnecessary pain the rest of the world was being submitted to by each and every of their leaders. But how wrong I was! Russia not only complied with all of the WHO "recommendations", but in some aspects doubled down on stupidity and autoritarianism, keeping -for instance- the country's borders shut for foreign tourists much longer than many other nations.
Up until now, such policies have remained a paradox to me for the last three years; the more so when I see -same as I think you do- the not so obvious connection between the Global Agenda, the covid swindle and the war in Ukraine. "If Moscow is on the path of bringing to its people the same safe, sustainable, digital and brave new world the WEF advocates for, whom and what, then, is Moscow fighting against on the Donbass?", I asked to myself. Surely not any de-nazification, which I did not buy for a single minute. And no matter how many Russian citizens I have personally addressed to for insight into this sort of questions, so far they have remained unanswered. Same among the most westernised and "progressive", protiv-Putin Russians as among his staunchest supporters, I found no echo to my puzzlement: nobody seemed to see any contradiction between engaging in a war against the Collective West and striving to achieve the same neurotic social model that very West promotes, and most of the people I wrote to regarded the autocratic, alienating and freedom-killing covid rules implemented in Russia a "minor issue", a negligible "fiasco", something V. V. Putin had endorsed out of love for his people or, in the best case, at the behest of ill-meant advisors and West-subservient oligarchs, but he really didn't mean to.
Those rules, however, have been for me since 2020 the piece that did not fit in the overall idea I had of Russia and its leader, seeding in me the suspicion that something smelled rotten south of Denmark, and that the likes of me (gullible "pro-Russians") are being deluded by a nice-looking anti-globalist speech.
I came to your blog after listening to you in some video out there, and thanks God I did. Here I have found not only an answer to the "covid enigma" that had me befuddled, but also a lot of information (like the CBDCs or the "sustainability" program) pointing to the true path the Russian rulers are on. "Do not listen to what they say, but rather look at what they do".
Vax pass: get drafted, die for your country because it's the Right Thing to Do. Chopping off your balls for a yuppie gig with perqs is nothing next to getting them pureed through your chest cavity via landmine.
Yeah, we're a gullible lot.
"We have to stop this dangerous spiral into Sadness, guys. Think of the ancient eunuchs."
Amen. Ball-less or not, let us enshrill our ways to higher and gladder spheres!
"...it would have been cool if a glider full of heavily armed Spetsnaz landed on Igor Kolomoisky’s roof as part of a dashing operation to handcuff Ukraine’s most prominent scumbags".
Taking words right out of my mouth, I've been saying it from the first day of the "special operation". It would have been a very logical thing to do, and I know I wouldn't be much upset.
On a positive note, this post sounds like a great beginning of that book you promised to write and send to me :)
You obviously have much better local intel, but I don't think any of your prognostications are out there. You could, of course, be wrong (as you said), but I'd put my money on your predicted outcomes at this point.
My main concern as an American living in America is whether Brandon takes us down this road too. And at this point, I honestly can't guess. One of the fascinating things about having a graphically incompetent executive branch is the fog of war is incredibly thick: from the outside, you have absolutely no idea how bad things really are.
I have mixed feelings on Putins invasion. It seems clear War was inevitable and he saw nothing to gain by waiting. OTOH, unless he takes all territory along Russias border with Ukraine to the Dnepier River and the coast to Moldova then Russia will be even more insecure and will face another Afghanistan
Rt demonstrated its inconsistencies all throughout the years, in the storyboard Holy Russia Vs. the Ugly and Disgusting West.
Funny to consider that both MSM and Alternative european medias released info or denounced the censorship of RT and Sputnik (to victimize Russia and these two media) but NONE OF Western media talks about the current closure of two french radios that denounced the crimes and murders of the Wagner group in Mali doing their dirty business while the war is raging in Ukraine
The false dichotomy West East justifies rivers of blood.
Don't let them rape your brain and impose their views because there is nothing more demoniac and cynical than leading people to applause for wars. On Tv and internet, our screens are 99% occupied with warmongers, whatever in which camp they are, but they legitimate a war which must not be legitimate. These warmongers are dangerous and should be neutralized, whatever the way.
And while blood flows, G7 and russian political leaders are getting fun playing their respective part in front of cameras, on a cynical theater scene. War is deeply vulgar and obscene.
Thank you for this brilliant piece. As an aside, one of the things I appreciated most about Russia was this observation: "Despite the stubborn March cold, heroic young ladies in the Russian capital have already shortened (one might say improved) their skirts by at least 15 centimeters." That seems to be a pan-Russian theme as I observed in Novosibirsk.

it’s all rotten to the core... God help the kids.

That was epic, my guy. I hope we’re all still standing on the other side where шоколадници was the only threat to our children’s health.

Baltika #6 is still one of my favorites.
This was brilliant. Thank you. Made my day.
Raises many questions for me though. A bit troubling.
Still... good. :)
