Summary

In a special edition of Trashfuture recorded in early May, Riley (@raaleh) and Milo (@Milo_Edwards) hung out in Moscow with Russian comedian Yevgeniy Chebatkov and discussed the Russian comedy scene, why you can’t make jokes about Putin on TV, Tsarist-nostalgia restaurants, and Milo’s controversial opinion that maybe Stalinism was a bit much. Hussein (@HKesvani) was unable to make the trip to Russia as he ‘works’ a ‘job.’ You can commodify your dissent with a t-shirt from http://www.lilcomrade.com/, and particularly you should buy this tote bag because it’s basically our show’s ethos: http://www.lilcomrade.com/product/tech-won-t-save-us-tote-bag Nate (@inthesedeserts) produced this from Brooklyn, where the trains don't work but where artisanal roasters make the highest-quality coffee (soup).

0:40.8	Well, it's like we were hired, of course, by Putin to undermine his most dangerous foes in the West,
