The Eastern Border

Episode about events in Kursk oblast is coming very soon – it’s just that in my case, I literally am waiting until some people call me back and confirm concrete facts that I could talk about, instead of a surpirises and rumours that you’ve probaby heard everywhere else. However, I also recorded a very lengthy discussion about Russian economy with my buddy Heaton from Political Orphanage. Our discussion veered into global geopolitics, which is why I split it in two parts, about an hour long each. So, Comrades, I hope that You’ll enjoy this discussion while I’m getting the facts straight and making the news episode.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast.
