War in Ukraine: Episode 193
We have a special request here, as in Chechnya a friend of the show's brother is being persecuted. Russia's education system is, apparently, "being assaulted by the west" and GosDuma is trying to prevent kids from learning about the casualities as it seems to be bad for the morale. Also,  Putin gave a  dumb, nonsense speech.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

And they haven’t been sanctioned at all. (Warning: Episode contains a LOT of swearwords)Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast.
