Summary
Greetings, Comrades!
I did what I had promised on social media, and translated the weirdest response to a journalist question that I had ever heard. I also look at a recently dead, ultra-conservative priest who had said that Stalin did the work of God, that female circumsision is a good thing and called for a physical purge of Russia’s internal enemies. Oh, and four CEO’s of Belarus’s sugar factories have been arrested in suspicion of a plot. This…this is a strange one.
Enjoy!

| 1:08.0 | this is a nice little collection of stories of, well, bizarre things |
| 1:12.2 | that really couldn't make it anywhere else. And they're going to be about today's politics, |
| 1:18.3 | mostly, because I want to give you a nice little update on the whole situation with Russia and Belarus, |
| 1:24.1 | since things have changed quite a bit, in fact, and I have just barely finished the book on that cool ship |

| 1:39.3 | where we're going to delve really deep into all these soviet secret about how they spied using that ship. |
| 1:45.6 | But for now, for now I'm going to, at first, attempt something that apparently was a bit too hard for the BBC. |
| 1:53.8 | Now, a little bit of backstory. |
