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.

Perhaps you’d like to tell your story in a podcast chat?

It's worth listening to his story. The 4 interviews with him that I have heard so far have provided the facts for what I intuitively felt. That alleged ‘Peaceful Revolution’ in the GDR was the prototype for the later colour revolutions in other countries.

Seems to me Germany would have been better off with East and West Germany as two separate countries. Lots of former East Germans moved to the West but began feeling nostalgic. Maybe it's better to split a country with very different cultures within than try to blur the differences.

Expand full comment

Those East Germans who moved to the West were not nostalgic but were shocked by the inner and outer coldness of the West Germans, their naivety and lack of education and manual skills combined with the belief that they were nevertheless something better. At least the educational divide has been overcome. Today's young people in the East are just as stupid as those in the West. That's why the resistance to the coronavirus terror was led by the old, while the young dutifully went along with it.

In the East, the majority knew that they were living in an illusory world. Nobody voluntarily watched the daily propaganda news. They built their own world in the illusory world in which, despite the ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’, there were far more freedoms than in the current dictatorship of capital. Creative and skilled people lived much more luxuriously than the bigwigs in their government housing estate in Wandlitz, even though they only worked three months a year.

There are now many people who would be in favour of rebuilding the wall. Interestingly, that would even be possible. By openly breaking the 2plus4 treaty, the previous situation was restored.

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.

A couple more ive been hoping you'd cover in the future.

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

Putin's betrayal of the Russian spring

etc

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

If the situation was hopeless then the propaganda would be unnecessary.

Just a thought on self promotion, perhaps you could preview an upcoming piece & ask for “buy me a coffee” subscription’s to fund the work in advance? (Idea may require a little tweaking, for what it’s worth)

All your options & topics are acceptable, you have readers for what you write but you have subscribers for the WAY that you write.

As for metaphysics, occult & such, I personally enjoy your style and you know whereof you speak.

Detractors of this “genre” have not yet realised that, politics is bullshit, (I mean c’mon man, they’re all friggin’ liars, right) So the esoteric, Satanic, secret society folks sell us politics as a placebo head fake to lull us into a false “reality” where Democracy is supposedly “The will of the people” and corruption is like when Democracy gets a cold of flu.

Have a Great Christmas Stalkers, you have done a great thing supporting a truly talented researcher & writer, looking forward to Rurik maturing & prospering as he deserves for his fearless endeavour

I want the entire list. Chernobyl interests me particularly, though.

I guess you have also spent too long playing Stalker :-)

I still haven't got even half way with OP-2.2. It's just immense.

Merry Christmas to you too......I would like it the most if you wrote about Ded Moroz and old stories (legends as they are called), but still - I am a woman, so you know how it is....But, just kidding aside and don't get pretentious after this: everything suits me and if anger makes you write something at the moment: great, get that anger out of you, because the texts you write are excellent. Keep doing what you think is best - I won't repeat here that I was delighted by both the metaphysical series and the Soviet-Zionist relations, and the book of course....the only thing I can say - I will certainly remain your paid subscriber and from time to time I will pay for some coffee in the morning, or make an additional donation. Just keep writing. I really wish you all the best and I know it's a platitude, but take care of your health. Greetings for now

P.S. I told you to try to come here to me in Croatia - we are a strangely silly country and we are constantly in some kind of strange confrontations with each other - so no one cares too much about what someone writes or says anymore. I was reading Citizen yesterday, he showed how he also had a drop in subscribers last year - what's the reason for that, huh?! I wonder I wonder...

I’d love to come to Croatia but prices have skyrocketed everywhere unfortunately. I thought I’d be touring the balkans this spring but we’ll, money money money

Be careful though as Contemporary Nazi Croatia is as Nazi as one can get.

So, if you end up going there, try not to end up attending Nazi concert [1] or Nazi soccer match [2] or Nazi history [3] lecture full of nostalgia.

Yes, a deep dive in these modern history things is what I want.

No empty words from my side: I just booked a 1-year subscription.

Now it's your turn to deliver. ;-)

By the way: Merry Christmas and enjoy and don't overwork yourself.

You better count my recent subscription!! I would have waited five days if I had known it could count for more articles!

Metaphysics and mysticism are my favorite topics. Marcion and russian deep dives into history, as well as plato stuff was gold.

So go somewhere else. Fantasy is for those who won't face reality.

Did I say anything about fantasy? Are you stupid or something?

Are you stupid or something? Yes you did "say anything about fantasy:" You wrote "Metaphysics and mysticism are my favorite topics" which are utter fantasy, mental smoke and mirrors, unrelated to the reality of the physical universe in which we live.

Oh yeah, it is confirmed you are a fool. Please we do not have time for your childish materialism, real men are discussing things here. Go back to your juvenile richard dawkins or something Im sure there are other really bright people like you in those circles.

Happy Ded Moroz time, Rurik! Whatever you decide to focus on (I'd like more on the occult, Kabbalah and shit, but hey, that's just lil ole me), I'm down for it, ready to spread the gospel word wherever I can. Keep up the good work, Stalker buddy, thank you for existing (as they slavishly say to various politicians in my country :D)!

The occult and metaphysics is utter bullshit, political history is the reason to come here. Maybe our Rurik has time to create a separate metaphysics bullshit channel for people who need inspiration to write more fantasy computer games so the deep dives don't get polluted with such bullshit.

The Bible is a hoax, David.

Then why do you go along with the rest of the charade of "metaphysics?" Why waste time on any supernatural superstition? What's important is your expose of the apparatchiks and their masters. I have no knowledge of foreign affairs but I do know some of the nefarious actual history of the united States and everyone else should know it too. Someday you will address the fiat currency scam the central bankers use to control the world and how the current set of Jew wars is for the purpose of preserving the federal reserve note as the reserve currency of the world. The wars to control natural resources are just an extension of fiat currency monopoly.

Because the Bible is not the authority on metaphysics but its subversion

Expand full comment

I couldn't disagree more. Occult metaphysics are the root of all the political history that we find so interesting. I appreciate that they're heavy going and much less straightforward, but i think we need to grok them to grok global politics.

Maybe you should take up LSD then. Those experiences are very real it seems, at least Timothy O'Leary thought so as he promoted the religion of LSD.

It's sad how so often in history bad leaders are remembered while good leaders are forgotten.

Recent subscriber here:

Of your list the ones that jumped out at me were:

- Boris Yeltsin’s perfidy and allegiance to Tel Aviv

- The hoax wars fought over Chechnya

- The murky rise to power of Chabad thanks to Putin

- The secret Kremlin program to arm and support Banderaites, Tatars, Baltlanders and all other manner of riff-raff

and, in particular:

- The real history of Soviet-Sino relations

Happy New year and keep up the good work!

Merry Christmas!

I’m more interested in post-USSR developments and machinations. Also, if you’d like some hate mail, let me know and I’ll see what I can whip up.

Good to see that you are happy. I hope the scrips keep mounting up.

Greetings and salutations Rurik.

Everything you listed sounds interesting, but my particular interests are your conspiracy and metaphysical stuff. I'm not put off by full scholar mode as I like to read and challenge my preconceived notions of reality, what else is there for a "peasant" to do?

If it wasn't for Slavsquat Riley and yourself I'd still be pretty ignorant about Russia and the SMO, so a very big thank you. You are doing important work and I'll continue to support($) the blog unconditionally.

Good luck in your search for the "new digs".

I'll leave everyone with this thought or "revelation", if you like, in the form of a song and its chorus. By the way well crafted music is like a spell. Even a simple pop song can shift people's attitudes or consciousness, so it shouldn't be taken for granted.

Rurik, my reason for paying 1 year was your article abt Syria. It provided "logical glue" between otherwise nonsensical events.

It's the type of subject I prefer, like discovering how installing (neocolonial) AFRICOM among others often increases air pollution in the Canaries (West-Africa) to a level, orders of magnitude above that of Chinese industrial centers.

The oldest one for me was during the 1950s when "defeated" German vacationers arrived with the most expensive cars and rented the most expensive places in countries that were still in ruins due to WW2.

In the case of Russia it would be interesting to know why, when the US military already had a track record of killing 20-30 million civilians in its 4ever wars, politicians of the RF still would like to join the expensive US terror organization aka NATO.

The answer to that one is in the archives for sure. Just go backwards and you’ll find plenty.

Look for “convergence”

Expand full comment

The most frequent link, summarized, regards "one world govt" with the present wars as a way to determine "who is boss". But the owners of the US had other plans already shortly after WW2:

---

Declassified docs reveal how Pentagon aimed to nuke USSR and China into oblivion

https://www.rt.com/news/437432-us-declassified-nuclear-plans/

---

IOW that should have caused divergence instead convergence - unless the the depraved / degenerated / inbred etc. "elites" no longer can imagine what such intentions imply. It reminds of European medieval history with most rulers being related (bloodlines), running their populations into the ground (quite literally).

1) I like your Soviet/Russia deep dives the most. Although I read Russian fluently, I prefer to read your pieces on these topics instead. Great stuff.

2) A comment destroying the ZAnon/3rdRomeAnon propaganda here and there, although probably boring for you after all this time, might be a small but necessary sacrifice to keep people checking in and attracting new readers. It's that dopamine kick people get when events are unfolding before their eyes, when some weird and impressive thing is happening (like Prigozhin's march or Assad's end) and it might be wise to honor that with a (shorter?) article once in a while.

3) Podcasts with Nikola are the best.

4) There should be a link or a button for donations somewhere for those who already subscribe. Maybe some subscribers already want to extend a hand, but all they see is "Gift a subscription" button? Or perhaps a fundraiser progress bar of some sort that shows the next deep dive's topic and its funding progress. IDK how that would work on Substack though; just a thought.

Merry Christmas, or Winter Solstice, if you prefer.
