Splendid Rolo and thanks for explaining the significance of Ivan Ilyin. Just one comment on the following sentence:
"I worry that the prefix “neo” might become labeled an antisemitic slur soon by the SPLC or ADL. At that point, we will have to scramble to think of another euphemism"
I hope this was sarcasm (so hard to tell in the written word). You must surely know that since the term antisemitic became a label applied to all anti-Zionists it has become a badge of honor and something to be proud of. Embrace it, set your neo-antisemitic award next to your ethno-nationalist award. This is the only way we will retain sovereignty over our language and thus in turn our thoughts. If we lose that, all other forms of sovereignty (and everything else) will be indefensible.
You bring up some good points. I didn’t understand your comment about the greens.
Putin is a product of his time, just like everyone. All things considered Russia got very lucky with him. Clearly there wasn’t enough spiritual yearning for a Zhirinovsky.
My issue with Putin is he’s a little too pragmatic, I don’t think he’s religious minded enough for this kind of rhetoric and unfortunately I desire a little more state interventionism into youth culture and some rearrangement of institutions. As far as purging liberals I believe under the right conditions they purge themselves. They’re fighting for their survival because they can’t live in a right wing world. Similar to my views on Jews. Extermination is the definition of wishful thinking. We need to create conditions where they nor anyone can thrive on usury and degeneracy.
The problem with ethnicities is that the current world status quo is creating a highly competitive dog eat dog monoculture that exacerbates racial strife. So it’s a huge gamble to lean on these other groups of people. Not too mention that I have my doubts if anyone is truly thinking big and are mere opportunists. So these constant appeals to them are nerve inducing.
He sees the real-world benefit [for solving a national leader's ever-present problem of generating economic and political dynamism, while maintaining inter-group cohesion] of religion, customs and culture as a glue that has been highly functional for millenia for binding a people together.
Some query whether he is "sincere" in his touted religious and philosophical beliefs, or whether he is "faking it" to manipulate the Russian Federations' disparate ethic groups.
For me, that kind of questioning can be applied to any and all - therefore we cut to the chase and apply the fix that Jesus urged [as Vlad quotes him], "By their fruits ye shall know them."
Putin is attempting to bind the peoples of the Russian Federation together by addressing, understanding and supporting their basic human yearnings for family, culture and customs - those things that give our short time on this planet the true gold that we all seek: meaning.
There is no doubt that many people of Earth, U.S. Americans the least, face huge problems of satisfying basic creature comforts to say nothing of higher aspirations like "freedom."
And the section of Putin's speech that makes a mockery of how the U.S. has pandered to the struggling people of Earth without actually helping them that much communicates the core of his argument for remaining independent of the West. This is not an easy argument to make, as the U.S. is still widely seen as a land of opportunity, if not actually milk and honey. So the West has its own very seductive argument, and the tension between the two arguments has torn many countries apart, and probably will continue to do so.
I personally am convinced that the West's argument is fundamentally insincere. But it remains highly seductive. Any leader that wishes to stand in opposition to the West must deal with this tension. Many have already failed to survive in the face of the pure force (as mentioned by Putin) that the West has been able to wield against them.
An excellent speech and cogent analysis. It does hearten me to see the leader of a world power speak about the reality of Western Power. Youre very right in that Pres. Putin does not go far enough in pointing fingers. Hopefully as the Liberals self-immolate, nationalist Russian voices will become louder. It would appear Russia has the same urban/rural divide as the US. Western nationalists have far more in common with our Russian brethren than many of our fellow "countrymen." Beating up Heritage Americans over our past "sins" is not a winning formula.
I do take some exception to the statement about Anglo-Saxons being generalized as the problem. The British monarchy and Cabinet are not Anglo-Saxon. How much of the current US Gov and "elites" are actually Anglo-Saxon? This is where the speech really falls short, as Rolo noted. I guess we still are not at the point where we can talk about an overrepresented minority and ethnostate that are awfully eager to push the Ukies and war. Guess that Pale still stings. For an interesting ancient history tidbit, look up the origin of the last name Kagan. Grudges really can last millennia.
How is it that when Euro governments follow US orders, Putin blames the Euro elites, but when the US government acts abominably, Putin blames the "Anglo-Saxons"?
I am as Anglo-Saxon as it gets and neither I nor my family support US government policy. Indeed, we feel our interests are more closely aligned with Russia's.
So if Putin wants to blame the ethnicity of US elites for their actions, we might wish him luck, but that ethnicity demonstrably isn't "Anglo-Saxon."
Putin is referring to the Anglo-American axis not the man in the street in either nation. Wall Street and the city of London have done much damage to the world and caused Europeans to kill each other in senseless wars in 1914 and 1939. They financed world Bolshevism and helped Maoist China come to power. they are behind all the destruction of our nation's and culture. Is the UK still the UK? My country is now captured by a neo-Bolshevism the USA currently is like Russia between 1917-1922 wilderness years and anything can happen. Stay tuned.
Excellent piece Rolo. Many people that write here seem to believe Putin is just a shill for the WEF AKA World Economic Fleecing. What's your take on this?
Irrespective the speech was great needed to be made and said it all and then some. This might not sit well with some people but in many ways Putin's speech reminded me of the speech Hitler gave on December 11th 1941 his declaration of war on the USA. You must listen to the entire speech not the cut and edited hatchet jobs that were done. Hitler doesn't talk about Satanism but he speak about the fraudulence of liberal democracy, and equates western liberal democracy with racketeering and world wide plunder. And when an authoritarian nationalist state pushes back against this, it's labeled evil and a "dictatorship" and of course Hitler has the balls to call out the Rothchild's, Churchill, Eden and the war cabinet and FDR and his regime (loaded we now know with Soviet spies like harry Dexter White AKA Harry Weiss and numerous fellow travelers) and of course he tells off world Jewry big time. In fact some of the speech will make you laugh as you can hear in the audience. Hitler actually has a sense of humor.
Now I'm not comparing Hitler to Putin, What I am saying is that both men in their speeches, pointed out obvious similarities in western liberal democracies back in the mid 20th Century and the early 21st Century obviously much hasn't changed in 81 years. I'm not a "coincidence theorist" we can see patterns this oligarchic liberal democratic assault has been going on for a long time. I encourage you and everyone reading this to read, "World Corporation" written in 1910 by King Camp Gillette (yes that Gillette) the book lays out the entire western oligarchic WEF globalist agenda. the only world leader to push back against this has been Putin and to a lesser extent Orban in Hungary. If Russia falters she will be gutted and carved into tiny states and the world in particular the white European (wherever they live) will be subjected to a barbarism and horror unlike any that's been seen in world history. Keep up the good work Rolo. Stay healthy safe and strong.
>Putin is just a shill for the WEF AKA World Economic Fleecing. What's your take on this?
He isn't. There are people around him in his government who are.
>and equates western liberal democracy with racketeering and world wide plunder. And when an authoritarian nationalist state pushes back against this, it's labeled evil and a "dictatorship"
Wow. Never watched Adolf's speeches myself, but that's really powerful stuff. Seems everyone who spends some time thinking about politics seriously comes to the same conclusion more or less.
Thanks Rolo I'm so glad to hear this. It give me hop[e for our culture and race. The speeches of Hitler, Goebbels, Goring, Darre and Rosenberg should be listened to uncut. Most have been edited and spliced by the usual suspects. Some are on you tube other websites too. Only listen to the uncut versions you'll come away with an entirely different outlook. And realize who the real aggressors were in both 1914 and 1939. By the way Hitler didn't hate Slavs this is more western (Jewish) BS. In his speeches from 1919-1924 he praises the white Russians and even says Germany and Russia are natural allies. He met with members of the Romanov family in Germany and supported the Russian civil war. He only becomes hostile after the triumph of the Red army and the permanent establishment of the USSR. He called this out as a Jewish Marxist takeover of the Slavic lands and saw Russia held captive by Bolshevik Jews. History needs to be rewritten much of it is a pack of lies. I'm working on novellas of historical fiction as I know my work won't get mainstream recognition. You'd be amazed how fiction can teach and educate people. you'd enjoy these novellas for sure. I'll let you know when they're released sometime early next year. Stay tuned.
Yes there were faction in the NSDAP as in all political parties and movements. Goebbels had an intense affair with the Czech actress Lida Barova he even considered divorcing Magda and marrying her. In that era and earlier the words "race" and "culture" were often interchangeable. As such people wrote and spoke about the "German race" Italian race" Greek race" British race" Japanese race" "Brazilian race" etc. If you read NSDAP writings that are not post war allied edited and we know who did the editing, you'll fine culture was more important simply stated, in Germany Germans come first, German culture is supreme minorities are welcome if they accept this and don't try to change, adulterate, or "diversify" the folk's culture. In fact the Waffen SS was probably the most racially and ethnically "diverse" fighting force in world history. Putin has said made similar points hence his enemies equating him with Hitler.
The idea of "living space" was not unique to Hitler or the NSDAP. It had been an intellectual and political idea long before Hitler was born. It's roots in the borderlands wars between Teutonic and Slav since the medieval era. In the late 19th Century it was a common them in German university lectures. Academics such as Heinrich von Treitschke, Paul de Lagarde and Karl Haushofer lectured about the acquiring of living space in the east. The German General Hans von Seeckt was a strong proponent of living space. And he was thrilled with the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk that gave large areas of the Russian Empire to Imperial Germany. However we now know that the Imperial Germans didn't believe they could hold on to such a large land mass and eventually would evacuate after destroying Bolshevism. The German defeat in 1918 prevented this.
Alfred Rosenberg a Baltic German tried to influence Hitler with some success, that the Slavs would be thrilled to be liberated from Bolshevik rule. And that the Reich could win over these people under the Bolshevik yoke. Remember when Operation Barbarossa was in operation the Soviet regime was literally overthrown in the Baltic areas, Belarus and Ukraine and the Germans were welcomed with bread and salt and open arms. There are even Christmas cards in the German archives written by Russians to the "German Chancellor" thanking him for liberation from Bolshevism. What wrecked this was the non stop partisan attacks on Germans troops led mostly though not exclusively by you know which crowd that turned German policy around much to the annoyance of Rosenberg and Gauleiter Wilhelm Kube. Russian POWS were sent to labor camps and after repatriation to the USSR the NKVD arrested them Stalin called captured red army soldiers traitors to the motherland and had them put in the GULAGS. Curiously when these men were released from the GULAGS they said that the German camps were not nearly as severe as the GULAGS. Something to think about.
I think had Hitler obtained the Polish corridor and Danzig peacefully which he tried to do from 1938-1939 there wouldn't have been war in 1939. Hitler sought a grand coalition against the Bolshevik regime not the people's of the Soviet Union. As historians Viktor Suvarov and Sean McMeekin make clear in their excellent works, Hitler got the war he never wanted and realized too late the the German Soviet Pact was a Bolshevik trap. Stalin broke the pact repeatedly until it was evident that he was edging towards invasion of western Europe, prompting a preemptive strike known as Operation Barbarossa.
As an aside I've seen reports that if Putin hold on to the newly acquired territories the rump state left of the Ukraine may be annexed in a plebiscite by Poland. Putting a NATO country on Russia's borders. Have you heard about this in the voice stream? Reminds me of Stalin forcing Romania to cede Bessarabia and northern Bukovina to the USSR and placing Red army troops within easy range of the oil fields of Ploesti Romania. If these fields were captured, the entire German nation and war machine would grind to a halt within three months. This was one of the main triggers to launch Operation Barbarossa. Are we watching a similar play out in the proxy war?
Russians and Chinese seem to have a clear big picture of what is going on in the US but are befuddled by the details. Just like the Serbian thinking that the democrats are more friendly to them, Russians and Chinese have a hard time understanding how deep American (really Jewish) propaganda goes in the US. So you come across these denunciations of American racism, praise of BLM and condemnations of American treatment of women rather than their realizing America is a gynocracy and that the press is trying to start a racial war against Whites and doing a good job of it.
I find that Eastern Asians, for example, understand that their own press is untrustworthy and the US press coverage of their own countries is filled with lies but then they assume that the domestic coverage of the US is accurate because American has a "free press." Shows that Crichton's Gell Mann amnesia is worldwide.

****************************
Ultimatly, we, western pro-Russian, are saints and gods of patience to endure AND the covidic stupidity of pro-Ukrainian herd and leftoïd rethoric of so much Russian people, even our beloved leader Vladimir the third.
(I even know a gorgeous Georgian girl, quite antisemitic, very proud of her country -and she was right, Georgia have a glorious millenial history_ but she whined about "west colonizations", and "you deserve immigration as punishment for your CRIMES". Even uncolonial Finland, I asked ? "come on, that's not an argue', she answered (I still not understand why this is not an argue but well...)
I appreciate you going through the whole speech and giving your reactions.
For the most part, I agree with your comments.
However, your reaction to this part jumped out at me:
"As I have already said, we have many like-minded people in Europe and the United States, and we feel and see their support. An essentially emancipatory, anti-colonial movement against unipolar hegemony is taking shape in the most diverse countries and societies. Its power will only grow with time. It is this force that will determine our future geopolitical reality."
"Is Putin saying that the Greens are going to end the war with Russia? Strange, seeing as it is the populists that likes Russia. The diverse, anti-colonial people are literally Satanists Putin mentioned earlier.
Did the Bernie Bros over at the FSB advice him to add this part?"
Nah. I don't think Putin is referring to the woke crowd.
I believe Putin is referring to those people who are on the anti-woke side, such as Steve Turley [whose message focuses on the central importance of a nation's country, customs, and culture] who is a vocal supporter of Putin's efforts to resist the Satan-worshipping elites' efforts to subsitute Russia's customs and culture with the horrors we see in the West.
Absolutely. I will be delivering the relevant parts of the speech to the TV screen addled subjects of New Zealand and Australia . They know nothing about the Minsk agreement, the bombing of
Russian people in Donbass, and the stupidest of them believe that Russia would blow up Nordstream. Most New Zealanders are so far gone they just need another booster ,and then the strongest of us can get down to business. That business will be pro freedom and pro Russia.
Those of us who support Russia are conservative, family oriented, generally aware of the insanity of the Zionst powers . We we carry with us some of the disaffected under class, who have seen progressive western Governments have the least care of the people . our common enemy is Globalism by Zionist bankers.
I think so, too. Unless you purposely follow such voices, it is quite possible you are not even aware they exist. But these people are working - some more quietly and some less so - and they have made their wishes felt among large sections of the general population. The corporate media tries to ignore them or label them all as "conspiracy theorists," if not "domestic terrorists."
"So, even though in one breath Putin says that Western citizens are being forced to confess for crimes that they didn’t commit, he then reminds the world of the crimes of Westerners."
I think he is referring to past crimes of Western Elites blamed on current Western Citizens and other peoples - so there's two degrees of separation. You can interpret it a couple different ways, but I see no contradiction.
This is an English transcript of Putin's latest speech to the Duma? I would NEVER have access to such a thorough rendition of what Putin said if it were not for sources such as yourself.
We have no real idea (do we?) of how much any present or past world leader (or behind the scenes influencer for that matter) knows about how the world really works. But anyone who plays at being the leader of a country, especially a superpower, has to walk a fine line between what they know and what they say to the people. Did JFK cross that line?
The idea that "Putin knows" has been a part of alternative community narratives for many years. Many in these communities have been waiting impatiently for the time when Putin will start to expose the secrets of the West. But how can he fully expose those secrets without leaving his own people very confused, as such an exposure would do across this globe?
I follow elements of that community who I feel are a bit more level headed, or have good track records of digging deep without getting too dogmatic. Most of them tell stories of "bad guys" and "good guys" though these terms mean slightly different things to different people. Most of those I follow are interested in the "truth," learning what it is, and exposing, or "disclosing" it. If they got in as UFO enthusiasts, they want the truth about UFOs disclosed. If they got in as Secret Society enthusiasts, they want the truth about Secret Societies disclosed. If they got in as ET enthusiasts they want the truth about ETs exposed. If they got in as paranormal researchers....
Some in the community laugh at all the talk of Trump, Putin and Xi being connected in some way to the "good guys." It is also asserted that large sectors of the U.S. military are aligned with the "good guys." Some laugh at this too. And it is quite possible that this whole "good guys" narrative is in place mainly to keep the more inquisitive from digging deeper.
A few are aware that Earth is a prison planet. This is no joke and has been verified in several different ways. No world leader, of course, wants to tell their people that they are being held here in perpetuity and there's nothing the leader can do about it. So they invent more hopeful stories about freedom and cultural sovereignty.
What is ironic about all of this is that it appears that the "West" really is driven by an insatiable appetite for power and hegemony over Earth. Of course, it is the leaders of the West that are captivated by this idea, not everyone. That the United States "land of the free and home of the brave" now leads a sinister plot to enslave the entire planet is the ultimate joke. Yet it could, basically, be true.
To the extent that other nations around the planet became aware of this insane drive for world domination, it only makes sense that they would react in various ways calculated to defend themselves from it, if only to preserve some semblance of control over their own people.
I personally believe quite thoroughly that the planet is being used as a prison and that many in the West, at this point, are working for the prison wardens. Whether there really exists any sort of armed and organized resistance to this prison system, beyond the small groups that are publicly vocal about it, remains to be seen. But all else, as dire and disturbing as it may be, is only drama when compared to this major struggle. We have spent thousands of years battling each other in the hope of finding greater freedom. I suppose it is too much to ask those involved to put all that behind them and start dealing with the actual situation that exists here. But that is what I ask.
I thank Slavland very much for publishing this speech and the accompanying comments. It is a truly remarkable speech . For people who want to consider the sickness of the Western leadership one could frefer to crippled Biden's 1930's like Reichstag speech from the red room in Philadelphia last month.
Absolutely. I will be delivering that part of the speech to the TV screen addled subjects of New Zealand and Australia . They know nothing about the Minsk agreement, the bombing of
Russian people in Donbass, and the stupidest of them believe that Russia would blow up Nordstream. Most New Zealanders are so far gone they just need another booster ,and then the strongest of us can get down to business. That business will be pro freedom and pro Russia.
To those who understand the harsh reality of war, it probably makes perfect sense - if you don't have the manpower and resources to hold a position, you retreat back to a more defensible position.
Only the Ukraine army holds indefensible positions.
This is probably one of the main reasons why it loses so much materiel.
It is also probably why it cold-bloodedly and needlessly sacrifices and destroys the lives of its poor unfortunate soldiers [due to the fact that Zelensky may need any kind of win to brag about to his masters in order to bring in more cash to keep the money laundering operations going?].
Let's remember what Mike Tyson said: "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."
Expect snafus - they will undoubtedly happen.
However, I expect some rapid changes are in the offing.
I am not talking about the Kharkov Russian retreat of a month ago, nor of the Lyman one of a week ago, but of a new one in Kherson that happened yesterday.
I don't think this retreat is a smart 5D move to "shorten the line": the new line is not that shorter, plus the fact that they spent a month or so on the old line - doggedly defending places like Davidov Brod, which they now have abandoned, leads me to think Russian militias there are nearing exhaustion. If they can't hold the old line against the AFU onslaught, they won't fare much better on the new one.
NGL, its a bad look. There will be many angry new citizens of Russia in those regions. I initially took you for a pro-Ukie type, my apologies, but instead I found a fellow pragmatist. Not every plan works; the enemy gets a say in things too. It is not looking good for Russia right now. The 5D nonsense is exactly that, nonsense. I will be positive about things because the noosphere needs it. This is going to be a rough time for the new Oblasts (is that the right term?) but I do feel increasing the combat force by 150% will make the difference. Right now the Russians are fighting against 4:1 odds. October is going to be a tough month for those of us on Team Humanity. What happens when regulars take up the line so those 200k "professional" soldiers can go on the offensive in winter? Dont forget that the Nazis used to celebrate when spring came so the Soviets had to relent for a bit. Russia likes winter offensives. It has broken better men than the NATO whores.
I understand the frustration, and share it. But a battle does not a war make. I, as I hope others shall do, will wait to judge as my knowledge of the current circumstances is so limited.
Thanks for this translation of this speech…..you start off by quoting King (I have a dream … that one day … Nationalists will no longer have to suffer under the yoke of Liberalism!). Please correct me if I am wrong, but King didn’t say in this speech“ … Nationalists will no longer have to suffer under the yoke of Liberalism!” If he did I can’t find it anywhere in his speech and perhaps you can direct me to where you found this quote if I am wrong…..That said (again I really thank you for the translation of Putins speech) ……it makes me wonder and perhaps you can clear up for me…..is the translation you present here of Putins speech Putins words ? Have you embellished It any?
….thank you for this blog….my wife is Russian and we have a hard time finding sources of such current stuff that’s going on there politically….we enjoy it,,,,thx
Very compelling, but deeply disappointing for one reason - the big pink elephant in the room - GLOBALISM . Putin is speaking like it's 1974 and there is no Davos or WEF or Herr Schwab (close friend of Putin's some say) or The Great Rest - etc. The closest I see is almost a charge that the US is standing in the way of the globalist project: "their attempts to undermine international and integration processes,...."
And that's why the vax/pandemic compliance issue is so crucial - that IS the tip of the spear in the globalist project and Russia, as of now, is the most vigorous nation in compliance with that project - developing mRNA vax (Denmark is close to shutting down their vax effort) and vaxing the 300K draftees - (USA has quietly dropped the military mandate) - Covid "restrictions" at an end in even captured nations like New Zealand.
I say to Putin/Russia - at a minimum - shut down the vax program - use the word "Globalism" - tell us where you stand ... and for extra credit tell us just a bit - just some hints - about what your intelligence agencies REALLY think about Sept 11 2001 - who really did it, why and how.
And by the way - is THIS a "9/11" hint: ".... using various schemes to pump trillions of dollars out of the country. ..." - was 9/11 a "pumping" operation? or rather a "scheme" to repatriate stolen funds into the US? - you know: eliminate almost the entire corp of foreign exchange traders from NYC (Cantor Fitzgerald Fl 102 WTC) - create an emergency, suspend, as a result, SEC trading rules and controls - ... and start "pumping". I'm just guessing - what do I know? - Mr Putin - help us out here - establish once and for all your nation state sovereignty credentials - just what were those schemes?
Splendid Rolo and thanks for explaining the significance of Ivan Ilyin. Just one comment on the following sentence:
"I worry that the prefix “neo” might become labeled an antisemitic slur soon by the SPLC or ADL. At that point, we will have to scramble to think of another euphemism"
I hope this was sarcasm (so hard to tell in the written word). You must surely know that since the term antisemitic became a label applied to all anti-Zionists it has become a badge of honor and something to be proud of. Embrace it, set your neo-antisemitic award next to your ethno-nationalist award. This is the only way we will retain sovereignty over our language and thus in turn our thoughts. If we lose that, all other forms of sovereignty (and everything else) will be indefensible.
You bring up some good points. I didn’t understand your comment about the greens.

So these constant appeals to them are nerve inducing.
Putin is pragmatic.
He sees the real-world benefit [for solving a national leader's ever-present problem of generating economic and political dynamism, while maintaining inter-group cohesion] of religion, customs and culture as a glue that has been highly functional for millenia for binding a people together.
Some query whether he is "sincere" in his touted religious and philosophical beliefs, or whether he is "faking it" to manipulate the Russian Federations' disparate ethic groups.
For me, that kind of questioning can be applied to any and all - therefore we cut to the chase and apply the fix that Jesus urged [as Vlad quotes him], "By their fruits ye shall know them."
Putin is attempting to bind the peoples of the Russian Federation together by addressing, understanding and supporting their basic human yearnings for family, culture and customs - those things that give our short time on this planet the true gold that we all seek: meaning.
There is no doubt that many people of Earth, U.S. Americans the least, face huge problems of satisfying basic creature comforts to say nothing of higher aspirations like "freedom."
And the section of Putin's speech that makes a mockery of how the U.S. has pandered to the struggling people of Earth without actually helping them that much communicates the core of his argument for remaining independent of the West. This is not an easy argument to make, as the U.S. is still widely seen as a land of opportunity, if not actually milk and honey. So the West has its own very seductive argument, and the tension between the two arguments has torn many countries apart, and probably will continue to do so.
I personally am convinced that the West's argument is fundamentally insincere. But it remains highly seductive. Any leader that wishes to stand in opposition to the West must deal with this tension. Many have already failed to survive in the face of the pure force (as mentioned by Putin) that the West has been able to wield against them.
An excellent speech and cogent analysis. It does hearten me to see the leader of a world power speak about the reality of Western Power. Youre very right in that Pres. Putin does not go far enough in pointing fingers. Hopefully as the Liberals self-immolate, nationalist Russian voices will become louder. It would appear Russia has the same urban/rural divide as the US. Western nationalists have far more in common with our Russian brethren than many of our fellow "countrymen." Beating up Heritage Americans over our past "sins" is not a winning formula.
I do take some exception to the statement about Anglo-Saxons being generalized as the problem. The British monarchy and Cabinet are not Anglo-Saxon. How much of the current US Gov and "elites" are actually Anglo-Saxon? This is where the speech really falls short, as Rolo noted. I guess we still are not at the point where we can talk about an overrepresented minority and ethnostate that are awfully eager to push the Ukies and war. Guess that Pale still stings. For an interesting ancient history tidbit, look up the origin of the last name Kagan. Grudges really can last millennia.
How is it that when Euro governments follow US orders, Putin blames the Euro elites, but when the US government acts abominably, Putin blames the "Anglo-Saxons"?
I am as Anglo-Saxon as it gets and neither I nor my family support US government policy. Indeed, we feel our interests are more closely aligned with Russia's.
So if Putin wants to blame the ethnicity of US elites for their actions, we might wish him luck, but that ethnicity demonstrably isn't "Anglo-Saxon."
Putin is referring to the Anglo-American axis not the man in the street in either nation. Wall Street and the city of London have done much damage to the world and caused Europeans to kill each other in senseless wars in 1914 and 1939. They financed world Bolshevism and helped Maoist China come to power. they are behind all the destruction of our nation's and culture. Is the UK still the UK? My country is now captured by a neo-Bolshevism the USA currently is like Russia between 1917-1922 wilderness years and anything can happen. Stay tuned.
Excellent piece Rolo. Many people that write here seem to believe Putin is just a shill for the WEF AKA World Economic Fleecing. What's your take on this?
Irrespective the speech was great needed to be made and said it all and then some. This might not sit well with some people but in many ways Putin's speech reminded me of the speech Hitler gave on December 11th 1941 his declaration of war on the USA. You must listen to the entire speech not the cut and edited hatchet jobs that were done. Hitler doesn't talk about Satanism but he speak about the fraudulence of liberal democracy, and equates western liberal democracy with racketeering and world wide plunder. And when an authoritarian nationalist state pushes back against this, it's labeled evil and a "dictatorship" and of course Hitler has the balls to call out the Rothchild's, Churchill, Eden and the war cabinet and FDR and his regime (loaded we now know with Soviet spies like harry Dexter White AKA Harry Weiss and numerous fellow travelers) and of course he tells off world Jewry big time. In fact some of the speech will make you laugh as you can hear in the audience. Hitler actually has a sense of humor.
Now I'm not comparing Hitler to Putin, What I am saying is that both men in their speeches, pointed out obvious similarities in western liberal democracies back in the mid 20th Century and the early 21st Century obviously much hasn't changed in 81 years. I'm not a "coincidence theorist" we can see patterns this oligarchic liberal democratic assault has been going on for a long time. I encourage you and everyone reading this to read, "World Corporation" written in 1910 by King Camp Gillette (yes that Gillette) the book lays out the entire western oligarchic WEF globalist agenda. the only world leader to push back against this has been Putin and to a lesser extent Orban in Hungary. If Russia falters she will be gutted and carved into tiny states and the world in particular the white European (wherever they live) will be subjected to a barbarism and horror unlike any that's been seen in world history. Keep up the good work Rolo. Stay healthy safe and strong.
>Putin is just a shill for the WEF AKA World Economic Fleecing. What's your take on this?
He isn't. There are people around him in his government who are.
>and equates western liberal democracy with racketeering and world wide plunder. And when an authoritarian nationalist state pushes back against this, it's labeled evil and a "dictatorship"
Wow. Never watched Adolf's speeches myself, but that's really powerful stuff. Seems everyone who spends some time thinking about politics seriously comes to the same conclusion more or less.
Thanks Rolo I'm so glad to hear this. It give me hop[e for our culture and race. The speeches of Hitler, Goebbels, Goring, Darre and Rosenberg should be listened to uncut. Most have been edited and spliced by the usual suspects. Some are on you tube other websites too. Only listen to the uncut versions you'll come away with an entirely different outlook. And realize who the real aggressors were in both 1914 and 1939. By the way Hitler didn't hate Slavs this is more western (Jewish) BS. In his speeches from 1919-1924 he praises the white Russians and even says Germany and Russia are natural allies. He met with members of the Romanov family in Germany and supported the Russian civil war. He only becomes hostile after the triumph of the Red army and the permanent establishment of the USSR. He called this out as a Jewish Marxist takeover of the Slavic lands and saw Russia held captive by Bolshevik Jews. History needs to be rewritten much of it is a pack of lies. I'm working on novellas of historical fiction as I know my work won't get mainstream recognition. You'd be amazed how fiction can teach and educate people. you'd enjoy these novellas for sure. I'll let you know when they're released sometime early next year. Stay tuned.
I think there were factions in the reich. I know Goebbels liked slavs.
But living space was a real German ambition. Doesnt mean he planned on exterminating everyone though.
Yes there were faction in the NSDAP as in all political parties and movements. Goebbels had an intense affair with the Czech actress Lida Barova he even considered divorcing Magda and marrying her. In that era and earlier the words "race" and "culture" were often interchangeable. As such people wrote and spoke about the "German race" Italian race" Greek race" British race" Japanese race" "Brazilian race" etc. If you read NSDAP writings that are not post war allied edited and we know who did the editing, you'll fine culture was more important simply stated, in Germany Germans come first, German culture is supreme minorities are welcome if they accept this and don't try to change, adulterate, or "diversify" the folk's culture. In fact the Waffen SS was probably the most racially and ethnically "diverse" fighting force in world history. Putin has said made similar points hence his enemies equating him with Hitler.
The idea of "living space" was not unique to Hitler or the NSDAP. It had been an intellectual and political idea long before Hitler was born. It's roots in the borderlands wars between Teutonic and Slav since the medieval era. In the late 19th Century it was a common them in German university lectures. Academics such as Heinrich von Treitschke, Paul de Lagarde and Karl Haushofer lectured about the acquiring of living space in the east. The German General Hans von Seeckt was a strong proponent of living space. And he was thrilled with the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk that gave large areas of the Russian Empire to Imperial Germany. However we now know that the Imperial Germans didn't believe they could hold on to such a large land mass and eventually would evacuate after destroying Bolshevism. The German defeat in 1918 prevented this.
Alfred Rosenberg a Baltic German tried to influence Hitler with some success, that the Slavs would be thrilled to be liberated from Bolshevik rule. And that the Reich could win over these people under the Bolshevik yoke. Remember when Operation Barbarossa was in operation the Soviet regime was literally overthrown in the Baltic areas, Belarus and Ukraine and the Germans were welcomed with bread and salt and open arms. There are even Christmas cards in the German archives written by Russians to the "German Chancellor" thanking him for liberation from Bolshevism. What wrecked this was the non stop partisan attacks on Germans troops led mostly though not exclusively by you know which crowd that turned German policy around much to the annoyance of Rosenberg and Gauleiter Wilhelm Kube. Russian POWS were sent to labor camps and after repatriation to the USSR the NKVD arrested them Stalin called captured red army soldiers traitors to the motherland and had them put in the GULAGS. Curiously when these men were released from the GULAGS they said that the German camps were not nearly as severe as the GULAGS. Something to think about.
I think had Hitler obtained the Polish corridor and Danzig peacefully which he tried to do from 1938-1939 there wouldn't have been war in 1939. Hitler sought a grand coalition against the Bolshevik regime not the people's of the Soviet Union. As historians Viktor Suvarov and Sean McMeekin make clear in their excellent works, Hitler got the war he never wanted and realized too late the the German Soviet Pact was a Bolshevik trap. Stalin broke the pact repeatedly until it was evident that he was edging towards invasion of western Europe, prompting a preemptive strike known as Operation Barbarossa.
As an aside I've seen reports that if Putin hold on to the newly acquired territories the rump state left of the Ukraine may be annexed in a plebiscite by Poland. Putting a NATO country on Russia's borders. Have you heard about this in the voice stream? Reminds me of Stalin forcing Romania to cede Bessarabia and northern Bukovina to the USSR and placing Red army troops within easy range of the oil fields of Ploesti Romania. If these fields were captured, the entire German nation and war machine would grind to a halt within three months. This was one of the main triggers to launch Operation Barbarossa. Are we watching a similar play out in the proxy war?
Excellent review of the speach.
Russians and Chinese seem to have a clear big picture of what is going on in the US but are befuddled by the details. Just like the Serbian thinking that the democrats are more friendly to them, Russians and Chinese have a hard time understanding how deep American (really Jewish) propaganda goes in the US. So you come across these denunciations of American racism, praise of BLM and condemnations of American treatment of women rather than their realizing America is a gynocracy and that the press is trying to start a racial war against Whites and doing a good job of it.
I find that Eastern Asians, for example, understand that their own press is untrustworthy and the US press coverage of their own countries is filled with lies but then they assume that the domestic coverage of the US is accurate because American has a "free press." Shows that Crichton's Gell Mann amnesia is worldwide.

****************************
Ultimatly, we, western pro-Russian, are saints and gods of patience to endure AND the covidic stupidity of pro-Ukrainian herd and leftoïd rethoric of so much Russian people, even our beloved leader Vladimir the third.
(I even know a gorgeous Georgian girl, quite antisemitic, very proud of her country -and she was right, Georgia have a glorious millenial history_ but she whined about "west colonizations", and "you deserve immigration as punishment for your CRIMES". Even uncolonial Finland, I asked ? "come on, that's not an argue', she answered (I still not understand why this is not an argue but well...)
I appreciate you going through the whole speech and giving your reactions.
For the most part, I agree with your comments.
However, your reaction to this part jumped out at me:
"As I have already said, we have many like-minded people in Europe and the United States, and we feel and see their support. An essentially emancipatory, anti-colonial movement against unipolar hegemony is taking shape in the most diverse countries and societies. Its power will only grow with time. It is this force that will determine our future geopolitical reality."
"Is Putin saying that the Greens are going to end the war with Russia? Strange, seeing as it is the populists that likes Russia. The diverse, anti-colonial people are literally Satanists Putin mentioned earlier.
Did the Bernie Bros over at the FSB advice him to add this part?"
Nah. I don't think Putin is referring to the woke crowd.
I believe Putin is referring to those people who are on the anti-woke side, such as Steve Turley [whose message focuses on the central importance of a nation's country, customs, and culture] who is a vocal supporter of Putin's efforts to resist the Satan-worshipping elites' efforts to subsitute Russia's customs and culture with the horrors we see in the West.

Absolutely. I will be delivering the relevant parts of the speech to the TV screen addled subjects of New Zealand and Australia . They know nothing about the Minsk agreement, the bombing of
Russian people in Donbass, and the stupidest of them believe that Russia would blow up Nordstream. Most New Zealanders are so far gone they just need another booster ,and then the strongest of us can get down to business. That business will be pro freedom and pro Russia.
Those of us who support Russia are conservative, family oriented, generally aware of the insanity of the Zionst powers . We we carry with us some of the disaffected under class, who have seen progressive western Governments have the least care of the people . our common enemy is Globalism by Zionist bankers.
I think so, too. Unless you purposely follow such voices, it is quite possible you are not even aware they exist. But these people are working - some more quietly and some less so - and they have made their wishes felt among large sections of the general population. The corporate media tries to ignore them or label them all as "conspiracy theorists," if not "domestic terrorists."
"So, even though in one breath Putin says that Western citizens are being forced to confess for crimes that they didn’t commit, he then reminds the world of the crimes of Westerners."
I think he is referring to past crimes of Western Elites blamed on current Western Citizens and other peoples - so there's two degrees of separation. You can interpret it a couple different ways, but I see no contradiction.
I thought the speech was great. I only wish he said "Iran refers to US as the great Satan, I refer to US as the gay Satan "
This is an English transcript of Putin's latest speech to the Duma? I would NEVER have access to such a thorough rendition of what Putin said if it were not for sources such as yourself.
We have no real idea (do we?) of how much any present or past world leader (or behind the scenes influencer for that matter) knows about how the world really works. But anyone who plays at being the leader of a country, especially a superpower, has to walk a fine line between what they know and what they say to the people. Did JFK cross that line?
The idea that "Putin knows" has been a part of alternative community narratives for many years. Many in these communities have been waiting impatiently for the time when Putin will start to expose the secrets of the West. But how can he fully expose those secrets without leaving his own people very confused, as such an exposure would do across this globe?
I follow elements of that community who I feel are a bit more level headed, or have good track records of digging deep without getting too dogmatic. Most of them tell stories of "bad guys" and "good guys" though these terms mean slightly different things to different people. Most of those I follow are interested in the "truth," learning what it is, and exposing, or "disclosing" it. If they got in as UFO enthusiasts, they want the truth about UFOs disclosed. If they got in as Secret Society enthusiasts, they want the truth about Secret Societies disclosed. If they got in as ET enthusiasts they want the truth about ETs exposed. If they got in as paranormal researchers....
Some in the community laugh at all the talk of Trump, Putin and Xi being connected in some way to the "good guys." It is also asserted that large sectors of the U.S. military are aligned with the "good guys." Some laugh at this too. And it is quite possible that this whole "good guys" narrative is in place mainly to keep the more inquisitive from digging deeper.
A few are aware that Earth is a prison planet. This is no joke and has been verified in several different ways. No world leader, of course, wants to tell their people that they are being held here in perpetuity and there's nothing the leader can do about it. So they invent more hopeful stories about freedom and cultural sovereignty.
What is ironic about all of this is that it appears that the "West" really is driven by an insatiable appetite for power and hegemony over Earth. Of course, it is the leaders of the West that are captivated by this idea, not everyone. That the United States "land of the free and home of the brave" now leads a sinister plot to enslave the entire planet is the ultimate joke. Yet it could, basically, be true.
To the extent that other nations around the planet became aware of this insane drive for world domination, it only makes sense that they would react in various ways calculated to defend themselves from it, if only to preserve some semblance of control over their own people.
I personally believe quite thoroughly that the planet is being used as a prison and that many in the West, at this point, are working for the prison wardens. Whether there really exists any sort of armed and organized resistance to this prison system, beyond the small groups that are publicly vocal about it, remains to be seen. But all else, as dire and disturbing as it may be, is only drama when compared to this major struggle. We have spent thousands of years battling each other in the hope of finding greater freedom. I suppose it is too much to ask those involved to put all that behind them and start dealing with the actual situation that exists here. But that is what I ask.
Among his other laurels, with that speech Vladimir Vladimirovic has now become a featured Unz author https://www.unz.com/article/speech-on-the-accession-of-the-new-regions-to-russia/
Check the Kremlin website. That's where I get Putin's speeches.
I thank Slavland very much for publishing this speech and the accompanying comments. It is a truly remarkable speech . For people who want to consider the sickness of the Western leadership one could frefer to crippled Biden's 1930's like Reichstag speech from the red room in Philadelphia last month.
Oh the irony of that speech being presented outside of Independence Hall.
> and I want everyone to remember this: the people living in Lugansk and Donetsk, in KHERSON and Zaporozhye have become OUR citizens, FOREVER.
LOL

Yeah, I agree.
That did not look good to non-military people.
To those who understand the harsh reality of war, it probably makes perfect sense - if you don't have the manpower and resources to hold a position, you retreat back to a more defensible position.
Only the Ukraine army holds indefensible positions.
This is probably one of the main reasons why it loses so much materiel.
It is also probably why it cold-bloodedly and needlessly sacrifices and destroys the lives of its poor unfortunate soldiers [due to the fact that Zelensky may need any kind of win to brag about to his masters in order to bring in more cash to keep the money laundering operations going?].
Let's remember what Mike Tyson said: "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."
Expect snafus - they will undoubtedly happen.
However, I expect some rapid changes are in the offing.
I am not talking about the Kharkov Russian retreat of a month ago, nor of the Lyman one of a week ago, but of a new one in Kherson that happened yesterday.
I don't think this retreat is a smart 5D move to "shorten the line": the new line is not that shorter, plus the fact that they spent a month or so on the old line - doggedly defending places like Davidov Brod, which they now have abandoned, leads me to think Russian militias there are nearing exhaustion. If they can't hold the old line against the AFU onslaught, they won't fare much better on the new one.
Pro-Ukraine commentators are gloating https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB0dlEUcq6A
Hopefully, no civilian remained living in these Kherson villages which changed hands yesterday.
NGL, its a bad look. There will be many angry new citizens of Russia in those regions. I initially took you for a pro-Ukie type, my apologies, but instead I found a fellow pragmatist. Not every plan works; the enemy gets a say in things too. It is not looking good for Russia right now. The 5D nonsense is exactly that, nonsense. I will be positive about things because the noosphere needs it. This is going to be a rough time for the new Oblasts (is that the right term?) but I do feel increasing the combat force by 150% will make the difference. Right now the Russians are fighting against 4:1 odds. October is going to be a tough month for those of us on Team Humanity. What happens when regulars take up the line so those 200k "professional" soldiers can go on the offensive in winter? Dont forget that the Nazis used to celebrate when spring came so the Soviets had to relent for a bit. Russia likes winter offensives. It has broken better men than the NATO whores.
I understand the frustration, and share it. But a battle does not a war make. I, as I hope others shall do, will wait to judge as my knowledge of the current circumstances is so limited.
Thanks for this translation of this speech…..you start off by quoting King (I have a dream … that one day … Nationalists will no longer have to suffer under the yoke of Liberalism!). Please correct me if I am wrong, but King didn’t say in this speech“ … Nationalists will no longer have to suffer under the yoke of Liberalism!” If he did I can’t find it anywhere in his speech and perhaps you can direct me to where you found this quote if I am wrong…..That said (again I really thank you for the translation of Putins speech) ……it makes me wonder and perhaps you can clear up for me…..is the translation you present here of Putins speech Putins words ? Have you embellished It any?
….thank you for this blog….my wife is Russian and we have a hard time finding sources of such current stuff that’s going on there politically….we enjoy it,,,,thx
Very compelling, but deeply disappointing for one reason - the big pink elephant in the room - GLOBALISM . Putin is speaking like it's 1974 and there is no Davos or WEF or Herr Schwab (close friend of Putin's some say) or The Great Rest - etc. The closest I see is almost a charge that the US is standing in the way of the globalist project: "their attempts to undermine international and integration processes,...."
And that's why the vax/pandemic compliance issue is so crucial - that IS the tip of the spear in the globalist project and Russia, as of now, is the most vigorous nation in compliance with that project - developing mRNA vax (Denmark is close to shutting down their vax effort) and vaxing the 300K draftees - (USA has quietly dropped the military mandate) - Covid "restrictions" at an end in even captured nations like New Zealand.
I say to Putin/Russia - at a minimum - shut down the vax program - use the word "Globalism" - tell us where you stand ... and for extra credit tell us just a bit - just some hints - about what your intelligence agencies REALLY think about Sept 11 2001 - who really did it, why and how.
Lacking that - I say 4/10 - just boilerplate.
And by the way - is THIS a "9/11" hint: ".... using various schemes to pump trillions of dollars out of the country. ..." - was 9/11 a "pumping" operation? or rather a "scheme" to repatriate stolen funds into the US? - you know: eliminate almost the entire corp of foreign exchange traders from NYC (Cantor Fitzgerald Fl 102 WTC) - create an emergency, suspend, as a result, SEC trading rules and controls - ... and start "pumping". I'm just guessing - what do I know? - Mr Putin - help us out here - establish once and for all your nation state sovereignty credentials - just what were those schemes?
Some food for thought:
