Summary

Greetings, Comrades!

As the possibility of another war with Ukraine looms over us again, I dug through the weird parts of the Russian media that usually don't get covered that much in the west, especially Igor Girkin's (the ex-leader of Donbass separatists who started this whole mess back in 2014) takes on the matter, together with other, in my opinion, overlooked people and made it in a digest form. Obviously, a few things have happened since friday when this was recorded, but this should give you some understanding about the warmongering side of Russian society. Enjoy!
