In fairness I think Russia is also doing very well with tankies and other ultra left. Crazies on both end of the spectrum are most susceptible. It’s just there is a lot more crazies on the right.

On his show tonight, Dmitry Kiselyov says that European countries are backing Ukraine against Russia because they want revenge for the battles of Poltava (1709), Borodino (1812), and Stalingrad (1942-3)
What a fucking laugh.

Nobody gives a shit about Russia except to hope they stay to their fucking selves.

Really comprehensive but concise brief on how the Russians came to where they are.
If you're interested in that sort of thing, Orlando Figes covers it at length. The lack of rule of law, the self-absorbed national ego, etc.

The Russian Propaganda machine has a warning to the West they already have the nuclear secrets Trump gave them.

Thanks for the book recommendations.

I'm getting so far behind on my (book) reading because of brain crack like TERB, Youtube and news articles! But noting beats a well written and edited book.

At first I thought I'd just not bother to buy any more books until I catch up but this post was a good wake-up call for me! I've got a couple weeks of pure R&R ahead of me so I'm going to select a couple books to read.

Thanks for the wake-up!

I read his Crimean War book and the Russian Revolution 1891-1921 book. The latter is the most relevant.

But if you follow Kamil Galeev on Twitter, you get lots of interesting shit as well. There's stuff about traditional Russian literature being very imperialistic and very supportive of military expansionism.
