Summary
As everyone in the Z-vatnik community is getting more and more gloomy, Girkin’s recent text made me understand how to best formulate how Putin and vatniks see Russia. You have to treat it as a religious entity, and it starts to make a lot more sense.

| 0:13.2 | Greetings, comrades, and welcome to the Eastern Border. I'll start by the fact that I just want to apologize if this episode sounds a bit strange. It's because all my nose is really, really full up this time, because I managed to get |
| 0:25.1 | into some health issues. |
| 0:26.7 | But that's because, well, I had to do quite a lot of work here because a bunch of people |
| 0:32.8 | who decided to, you know, ignore my emails when I had sent them, decided to answer all at once |
| 0:38.3 | at the same time straight up. |
| 0:39.9 | One of these people was actually, you know, guys at war fronts. |

| 1:30.3 | But, well, that's, among other things, there was a bunch of other world-related stuff. |
| 1:36.0 | But that also made me think about what exactly is the main thing that Western Ireland was get wrong, |
| 1:43.5 | because it was hard to portray this exactly, but |
| 1:47.8 | well, I read an article by Igor Girkin, and I had a train of thought going on from there. |
| 1:54.5 | I'll start with that thing, because, well, it's quite hard to start talking about this stuff before you seem to be a bit crazy. |
