Hello Rurik,

I still have something for you. The true story of the fall of the Berlin Wall – as part of the Soviet long-term strategy for world domination. Sounds crazy, but I was a witness in 1989/90 and worked in communist East Berlin in a liaison office of a Dow Jones-listed company.

On January 9, 1990 – two months after the fall of the Berlin Wall – I learned that there would no longer be a German Democratic Republic (East Germany).

However, the four foreign ministers and those of the two German states did not announce until five weeks later (on February 13, 1990) that talks were being held about German unity. By then, we in East Berlin had already prepared for reunification and had begun to transfer all business to the West German subsidiary. Now you may wonder why today, 35 years later, people still talk about the peaceful revolutionaries in East Germany who supposedly brought down the Wall.

The English edition of my book will be published on February 2025 on Kindle/Amazon.

Yeah basically everything you've been doing anything Soviet, post Soviet Yeltsin/Putin RF, all the topics you listed definitely a deep dive into Chernobyl have been thinking about the topic a bit after your writings on the Andropov detonation of the USSR and the connection there.

The 1991 coupe "attempt"

General Lebed

the Chechen wars

1993 constitutional crisis

96 election

the Kadyrovs

RF controlled op political party's

Beslan school siege and other early Putin era terrorism

Russian national unity party

etc

Looking forward to more of your work and keep highlighting the Ethnic Psychopath issue.
