Rave Reader Reviews for Rurik Skywalker's Slavland Chronicles!
Thank you for the kind words, Stalkers.
When you sign up to be a paid reader of this blog, you are given the option to send a message along with your subscription. I thought I might share a few messages that I have received pour faire encourager les autres. I know that many people are very concerned about being on the popular, winning narrative’s team and so might be loath to support me and the blog because the other cool kids might make fun of them if they were to find out.
I don’t know what you’ve read about me elsewhere, but here is what some of my own readers have to say. It might set your mind at ease. You are in good company, it turns out. No names and no revealing information, of course, don’t worry:
"I think you have easily the most interesting analysis of Russia out there, so you definitely deserve a paid sub. However, I am stingy, so I subbed for a year. I hope you keep the great output up."
Stinginess when it comes to not indulging in vice is no sin! But Slavland Chronicles is the meat that you have to chew before you can have ice cream. The hard workout that you need to put in before you can have a lazy video game Sunday. The twenty ugly chicks that you need to plow to get better at manipulating the hotter women!
"Alternative news source to blindly (?) pro-Russian The Duran. (Please don't be offended) Your posts are good but sometimes a little whiny. Between your substack and Edward Slavsquat's substack I am getting a more accurate narrative. Thank You!
Whiny??? I am offended, sir. W-w-why are you being so mean to me? You’re lucky that beggars like me can’t be choosers otherwise I’d throw you out of this fine establishment by the scruff of your neck, ruffian!
"Keep up the good work."

"I haven’t subscribed till now because my funds and time for reading are limited but I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. Thanks for having the courage to be reality-based in a sea of convenient ignorance. BTW we will win. “Truth lives a ragged life but always outlives a lie.”"
Ah geez, thanks. I hope you have enough money to feed your pets, your family and maybe a dinner out once in a while! If not, ask for a refund, I’ll give you the sub for free. Thank you!
"Your post today convinced me to finally become a paying subscriber!"
Don’t thank me, sir. Thank Shoigu’s voice in my head.
"Terrific Writing. Showing how ambiguous our shared reality is. Maybe its a shared hallucination. We are actually all semi-independent sub-totalities. Or something like that. Who the fuck knows."
There is so much that we don’t know. But at least we know that we don’t know here. Others are convinced by the propaganda and supremely confident in lies. This difference can be applied to many things in life, I’ve found.
"Yer different Mind you I reached the conclusion we have a sort of gendarmerie rule by the IC in America- sort of - awhile ago. Also fresher on Russia et al, et slav"
I am different. But I get the sneaking suspicion that I could have turned out normal somehow if I hadn’t made a wrong turn somewhere. This thought haunts me.
"You broke me out of a mental prison. Take these shekels and put them to good use, my brother."
Shalom and mazel tov, brother. I will.
"You're a volatile man, Rolo. But you deliver the goods, so here is the cash."
VOLATILE??? I’LL SHOW YOU VOLATILE.
(thanks)
"I used to be a big fan of Ritter, the Duran, Bertolic. Now, thanks to you and Riley, I see how full of shit they are and am starting to get a clue about how things really work, for which I am grateful. "
Another soul saved.
"It seems to be the only blog out there that isn't clouded by ideology or propaganda (except maybe the Corbet report) "
Ideology is a dirty whore! You use her and then you leave her! Very sad!
"Deari Rolo, Bored of both sides ridiculous propaganda, it happened to me me to find you like a a drop of water in the desert. Hope to read and hear a lot from you about this historic event and other matters… like spirituality (am myself a zen practitioner). And practice my English by the way… Best regards
We’ll reach satori together someday, brother, and leave these hylics behind!
"I've been stealing your reseach to hit irritating zanon fanatics over the head for months now. You deserve it. btw, I started calling them 'putinanon' a few months before you uttered zanon;) oh, idk, why you keep calling Zelensky a 'peace candidate' He posted on his campaign website that Crimea needed to be returned Roger waters and noam chomsky also erroneosly say that. Im outta space.."
This blog is a weapon. I have distributed the equivalent of IEDs and homemade napalm (metaphorically, FBI) to my readers. Go forth and lay waste to the propaganda, my minions!!!
And there were others, I just took a more recent sampling.
Now you know that you are in good company and can subscribe with a clean consciousness! I await you on the other side of the paywall!
Hurry on over before all the good seats are taken!
UPDATE: got one more:
"Grateful for your Work-all of it. It was a while before I had the cash to subscribe. But I always look forward to your HONEST work first thing in the morning. Whole new perspective on the whole "Po-po action" going on over there in Khazaria 2.0...Former Z-Anon, brain-bailed by your efforts. And LOVE your touch on the Esoterica of all things, regardless of the Non War. Yer badass, Rolo/Rurik,!"
Dang, are all my readers broke writers/artists like myself?
That makes the support even more significant. I thought I was just getting 401k money and didn’t feel bad. Thanks, brother.
Hey, at least we have each other. Gang4lyfe.
You're worth every dime I've spent on you. It's truly an education reading your work, and the humor you put into it is wonderful and amusing.
Your threats and insults finally worked on me. I have graduated from stalker to paying for the abuse. Seriously keep up the insults of us sub 140 IQ folks...highly entertaining. Bonus I get an education as well.
