It occurred to me that we are two weeks out from being 500 days into the two-week special military operation and that I have written quite a lot about over the last year and some. For a reader who has just found this blog and wants to catch up to speed, it no doubt seems like a daunting task to even know where to begin to try and make sense of it all.
With that in mind, I decided to write this primer to guide readers who want to one day become full-fledged Slavland Stalkers. Join me as I reveal the mysteries, the horrors and the arcane lore that these lands have to offer. Chances are, you did not end up here by accident, but because you have grown disenchanted by the propaganda and the mainstream narratives and are starting to suspect that there is far more to this Slavlands Civil War than meets the eye.
So, if you are ready, take the plunge with me.
I offer you great knowledge and hidden power. But it will come at the cost of your optimism, your naiveté and your faith in a brighter future. Are you willing to make that trade? If so, welcome to The Slavland Chronicles!
I hope you enjoy your stay.

Setting the Stage For the Slavlands Civil War
First, consider what you think you know about the SMO and the Not-War. Do you know what started it? Are you sure? What if I told you that the SMO wasn’t launched because of ethnic biobombs, UAF offensives, NATO concerns, Donbass civilians or de-Nazification efforts?
Red List 16 - the Real Cause of the Not-War W/ Slavsquat
Listen now (59 min) | I’m thinking of doing a fundraiser for a new mic, because if I can’t fix it, it might even get worse.
Evidence is mounting that points to this being an inter-oligarchic spat between several factions of oligarchs who prey like wraiths on the Slavlands with ease from their lair in Israel. In particular, the drama centers around one oligarch in particular, Viktor Medvedchuk, and his arrest, which was almost certainly the precipitating event that triggered the Slavlands Civil War, euphemistically referred to in some circles as the SMO, which sounds like a clinical term for a venereal disease.
Did You Know That Poroshenko Offered Russia the Donbass, But Putin Refused It?
When you guys share and repost and restack my stuff, it really helps. Don’t stop doing this, please. This one is worth spreading and I need your help as always. Let’s keep pushing and spreading the awful truth. Thanks. ** The big news back in February was the return of the Donbass oligarch, Medvedchuk to the political scene. Out of nowhere, he started gi…
Medvedchuk had many powerful friends in the Kremlin. Friends who were willing to sacrifice many lives to get him back, and, to then put him into power.
The Ukraine Debacle
It is the opinion of most patriotic voices in Russian alt-media (remember, hardcore Russian patriots are still not allowed on mainstream media in Russia) that while the special operation in Ukraine is all well and good, there is no good explanation for why Ukraine was lost in the first place. How could the Kremlin let a country split evenly between a pr…
In many ways, the SMO, which was presented as a policing operation to the public, was actually both a kind of rescue operation and an overthrow attempt of the Zelensky regime, which had arrested Medvedchuk.
By April however, the SMO was concluded and Russia pulled its police force out of the partial encirclement of Kiev after a secret peace treaty was signed. The treaty may have included special clauses for Moscow to “rent” parts of the Donbass and Crimea out from Kiev.
But while we know of the existence of the agreement, we may never learn its true contents. Either way, Kiev scrapped it as soon as the Russian army was pulled out, tricking their esteemed colleagues in Moscow, yet again. But don’t worry about Medvedchuk. He got out OK. Don’t ask too many questions. It is easier that way.
Questions ... Questions That Need Answers
Question: why is Russian oil, gas and ammonia still flowing into Ukraine? Follow-up question: why then are 5D dunces in the Western blogosphere saying that Ukraine will freeze this winter if this is the case? Prices will go up, but freezing Ukraine out? Really?
Soon after the conclusion of the SMO, the Not-War began in Donbass.
Few remember it now, but upon consulting great dust-covered, half-forgotten tomes in the Akashic archives, it becomes clear that before the current Not-War began, there was actually an Almost-War simmering in the Donbass for about 8 years prior to that. Then, as the Not-War began to teeter dangerously into becoming a Real-War, Russia’s leadership admitted that it would have been better to not wait nearly a decade to address the crisis on their borders.
Putin Admits That Donbass Should Have Been Taken Earlier, Russia Messed Up
In the last week, I had an ATM machine eat my card, a gremlin chew through my charger cable leaving me computer-less, my housing situation got blown up and some other relatively minor, but hair-pullingly annoying stuff all occurred at once. So that is why there haven't been any posts and podcasts in about a week. Sorry about that. But you didn't miss mu…
It was an honest mistake, to be sure. One that happens to everybody. And we have grown quite accustomed to hearing all about the Kremlin’s honest mistakes over the last two decades. Russia’s elite assures us that they are simply too naive and too trusting to put up much of a resistance to the West.
Putin: We Were Led By the Nose :(
President Putin gave an interview recently in which he finally answered the question: “Why did Russia wait 8 years to intervene in Ukraine?” The answer: we got fooled by our esteemed Western colleagues.
I don’t know about you, but I sleep better at night knowing that Russia’s elites are too moral to defend Russia’s interest. At the end of the day, feeling morally superior to your enemies is more important than defeating them. This is probably why the Russian Federation has never pursued “active measures” against their esteemed Western partners.
Active Measures
I’ve got a story to share with you. Don’t take what I’m about to say here on blind faith. Think about what I’m saying and consider if it squares with your conception of observed reality. I know I did, and, after some deliberation, I decided that it was worth sharing.
As a show of respect, friendship and goodwill, Russia’s elites have run the country as if it were a satrapy of the West for 30 years. Simple-minded, close-hearted and narrowly partisan bigots like myself and other Russian patriots wouldn’t understand or appreciate the tender relationship that the Kremlin has fostered with the West over these years. That is why the FSB organization (an acronym for Friendly Smiling Besties) keeps Russian patriots out of power and keeps Western-aligned rootless cosmopolitans in. Out of love, you see.
Russia’s Intelligence Community Is Almost Certainly Compromised
Back in the day, the USSR used to actually engage in what is referred to as “active measures.” That is, they would work to create networks of sympathizers in the West related to culture, business and politics. The topic of Soviet interference in the West is rather intricate and worth exploring in detail another time. To simplify it drastically, the natu…
There is a lot of lore from the Soviet era that the fledgeling Stalker needs to acquaint himself with. The most important conspiracy theory which acts as a key that unlocks the subsequent 30 years of post-Soviet rule that followed is the “Convergence” agenda.
Rumors of Heads Rolling in Russia's Deep State
As anyone who isn’t totally out of the loop knows, Russia has suffered some serious setbacks in recent months. It turns out that the people in charge of the Kiev operation and the subsequent Donbass campaign messed up and messed up big-time. But, who are these people? It’s certainly not Peskov or Lavrov or Zakharova or any of the outward-facing members …
In short, by the late Soviet Union, the dominant faction of the Communist party political elites and the ‘Deeper State’ spook state were planning to converge with their supposed Western elite enemies to usher in a new world order. To do this though, the USSR had to become more like the West and the West more like the USSR. This process was begun by Andropov and then implemented fully by Gorbachev.
But the West reneged on the equal power-sharing deal and decided to make the USSR and Russia fully subordinate to the West instead of ruling over the world as equals as was envisioned. Putin often talks about how the USSR and then the Russian political elite was tricked by the West. He mentions it in every other speech he gives.
DISASTROUS: Putin's Presser With State-Sanctioned War Correspondents Left Russia's Patriots With Their Jaws Hanging!
First things first: I look away from the battlefield for 12 hours and now they’re already dropping nukes. Note: no, they are not actually dropping nukes yet. We would hear uproar about it if they did. But there has been fierce fighting along the line of contact. Villages have switched hands. Losses are mounting. No breakthroughs by the UAF though.
When Boris Yeltsin came around, he positioned himself as a pro-Russian populist. However, judging by the results, his government had a strict “No Russians Allowed” hiring policy. This is easily verifiable by consulting the stats, which I have shared with my readers.
Russia's Oligarchs Are Becoming More Russian, Having More Kids, Basically Better Than You in Every Way
A clever blogger compiled the data and ran the stats on Russia’s elite stake in the future of the country. The results should be encouraging, or at least not as disappointing as the results that we see when compared to other countries. Here are the reproductive rates of Russia’s wealthiest.
When Putin came to power, the assumption was that he was working to clean up the deeply Russophobic government of the late USSR and Boris Yeltsin. While some improvements undoubtedly occurred, as we see for ourselves now, the changes were largely cosmetic. Russia’s government remains predominantly non-Russian, anti-Russian and pro-West.
I began this blog as an optimist and wrote under the assumption that the situation would finally begin to improve as a result of the SMO. However, by late summer, I was forced to concede that the war was a flop and that suggesting reforms was now tantamount to treason in the Kremlin’s eyes.
Russian Patriots Exit Russian Spring and Enter Summer of Discontent
I started this blog at a heady time. The special military operation had just begun and Liberals in Russia were absolutely losing their minds. In panic, prominent Liberal lichnosti packed their bags and fled to Georgia, Turkey, Latvia and Israel, of course, among other countries. The celebrity class was the first out the door. Many prominent Liberal pro-…
Unfortunately, there is no real opposition in Russia. There is only the Permanent Opposition who are even less Russian and patriotic than the people in power now. These are the people that Washington wants to replace Putin with.
Evgeniya Albats and the Moscow "Torah Reading Circle" Conspiracy
Today, I well and truly earn the money that my beloved Stalkers have pledged to me. Your trust and faith in Rolo to deliver the goods is about to be richly rewarded. But you’re going to want to strap in for quite a wild ride. We are going to cover quite a lot of ground in this post.
It is not all doom and gloom though. There are people in Russia who say the same things that you will hear on this blog. This is not by accident. I have done my best to give these patriots a voice because I believe that they deserve to be heard.
Russia's Patriotic Opposition is Starting to Get Organized
I’m about to provide you with some good news, but before I do, let me soften the blow for the veteran pessimists that this blog has accumulated in recent months. Let me start out by stating that I do not think that Russia’s patriots have much of a chance of succeeding politically. There is also a lot of background info that needs to be understood and accepted as a possibility at least before any of what I am about to say makes sense.
Now, before the Not-War and the Almost-War that preceded it, Moscow was busy doing everything in its power to surrender Ukraine to the West. This is confirmed by the accounts of pro-Russians marooned in Ukraine with whom I spoke. It is also further proof of the overarching theory that we are working with regarding the complete surrender of the Almost-Russian elite to the West.
How Russia Lost Ukraine Before the War Even Started
Back when I was in Kiev, I took the opportunity to speak with a handful of pro-Russian journalists still stuck in the country. Most of them affectionately referred to themselves as “vatniks” as a way of owning the insult thrown at them by Liberals. This was an important learning moment for me as it opened my eyes to just how much Russia’s actual policies differed from the narrative that was being fed to Westerners by both alarmist neocons trying to drum up anti-Russia hysteria and 5D Russia apologists, trying to excuse Russian inaction.
This will come as a shock to the average Westerner whether he be pro or anti-Russia. Neither side wants to consider what I am saying here. This is because anti-Russians periodically look around the world to find the next sacrificial lamb that they can ritually slaughter. That is, it is in their interests to portray Putin as Pharaoh and Russia as Nazi Germany so that they can justify the war, the propaganda terror campaign and the looting of their own countries as well as Russia and Ukraine.
On the other side, there are people who are rightfully appalled by the behavior of their own occupation governments and look to either Christian prophecy or demagogue charlatans portraying Russia’s elite as being everything that the West isn’t.
The truth doesn’t matter to either side because both are willingly to sacrifice truth in the name of whatever Higher Truth they are pursuing. Some believe that the cause of “Human Gay Rights Love Values Democracy” is worth funding death squads in Ukraine and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Slavs. Others believe that Yahweh loves Russia and will use her as his iron rod to mete out punishment on the apostates in the West.
Does God Really Love Russia?
There are many ways to approach questions of a metaphysical nature. As I’ve written about before, the metaphysical gold standard lies in the mystical experience itself. Mysticism is the actual applied process to spiritualism in the same way that doing katas are the applied praxis of Karate or mixing stuff in beakers is the applied practice of chemistry.
Both are delusional, of course.

The Slavic Civil War Moves Into Russia Proper
Now, Defense Minister Shoigu was the key figure at the center of the Wagner Mutiny that marched on Moscow. According to the current narrative being promoted by the Kremlin however, the mutiny was actually an optical illusion and didn’t occur really. In other words, it was a Not-Mutiny.
We here at the blog however believe in the conspiracy that Shoigu’s running conflict with the CEO of Wagner, Evgeniy Prigozhin, had something to do with the shocking non-events that didn’t transpire on June 24th.
First, it is necessary to understand who Shoigu is.
How Shoigu Got His Post
Since the internal squabble between Wagner and the MoD is gaining traction, with more and more people now talking about it, we ought to spare a few words about who the head of the MoD actually is and how he got his position. Yes, it is time that we spoke about the Tuvin mafia conspiracy.
Then, it is necessary to understand a little bit about Wagner.
Wagner's Rising Star
There is one name that has risen above the informational shum of the Ukraine war-that-isn’t-a-war news cycle. Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin. Deputy Milonov and CEO Prigozhin - two voices that actually tell the truth from the front on occasion. In recent days and weeks, his Wagner mercenary outfit took Soledar and Sol. This was an extremely bloody fight - something that the 5D people will deny, but that Prighozhin and Wagner themselves will readily admit. The Ukrainian army is not an army of Aborigines armed with flint spears and clad in animal skins that are getting slaughtered at 10:1 K/D rations. They have also had years to erect defensive fortifications and otherwise prepare. The fighting is absolutely brutal everywhere.
Also, it is important to understand why this blog followed Prigozhin so closely. His tell-all videos and written appeals confirmed a lot of the conspiracy theories and assumptions that this blog had come to independently. Also, his information aligned with the analyses of many of his own harshest critics. This means that many different people with different convictions and backgrounds and proximity to power were trying to make sense of this bizarre and baffling war and ended up converging on the same conclusions. This blog does NOT support Prigozhin for President, but takes what he says seriously.
Also, one needs to understand that there has NEVER been disunity in the Russian elites, only friendship and smiles.
The Anti-Shoigu Campaign Continues to Escalate
So, the executive summary of the latest Shoigu scandal so far: at least 3 underling generals have been fired by Gerasimov and Shoigu over the recent war-profiteering scheme on military uniforms. In short, a well-connected uniform supplier pops up in April, lands a contract for severely overpriced and poor quality uniforms, and then, following public outcry, an investigation is launched by the people who approved the whole scheme in the first place and people further down the food chain are let go to make amends. Classic.
Anyone who told you otherwise … anyone who warned about it for literally 6 months that is … well, he was totally wrong and you should ignore his predictions going forward because even if he is right, he is morally wrong and not a team player for sharing the information with you.
As for what led to the Not-Mutiny, that would be Shoigu’s greedy and short-sighted attempt to take ownership of Wagner by July 1st. This was yet another deliberate act of sabotage by Shoigu.
Shoigu's New Anti-PMC Declaration Is Yet Another Deliberate Sabotage of the Not-War Effort
Look, I am “biased” against the MoD. By that I mean that I have been thoroughly disappointed by their performance and adjusted my opinion of them accordingly. Snakes on Twitter use this to accuse me of treason and disrespect of Russian soldiers. This is such a standard Kremlin and approved state media talking point that I am doubling down on my assumpti…
Finally, it is important to realize that because of the Not-Mutiny, the power balance in Russia has been shaken up. The Kremlin has been shown to be naked. No one tried to stop Wagner’s march on Moscow until they got to Moscow Oblast. There, the mall cops (Rosgvardia/internal police) under Zolotov, Putin’s close inner circle ally from the 90s, put up a hasty defense. However, the Kremlin, caught with its pants down and abandoned by the anti-Shoigu military quickly caved and offered to drop all charges against Wagner.
PSA: The Slavland Chronicles Has Not Endorsed Any Warlord Yet
The sheer amount of unbridled hate that I’ve been getting ever since Wagner marched on Moscow, proving one of my predictions right, yet again, has led to some soul-searching on my part. First, I made sure to lash out at my criticizers, just to make sure that they knew what utter contempt I held them all in, just in case they were new or missed the memo.…
This brings us to the present moment where the Kremlin is scrambling to figure out who still supports them, how to get the military back into line, and what to do with Wagner, the UAF, and President Lukashenko. I predicted the Slavlands sliding into warlordism going forward and hold to that view in light of recent events.
The Worst Case Scenario
I wanted to start this post by linking to an interview that I watched recently of a very prominent doomer blogger on the Russian side named Andrei Morozov.
Congratulations!
If you read this far and took the time to acquaint yourself with the material, you can now consider yourself officially caught up to speed.

World Class Slavland Interviews Found Nowhere Else
This blog does its best to provide alternative patriotic perspectives coming out of Russia. These kinds of interviews cannot to be found anywhere else on the English internet.
On the disastrous Kiev Coup Campaign:
The Adventures of Comrade Krieger
I’d like to introduce “Comrade Krieger,” a soldier who was deployed into Ukraine in the early days of the special operation. Comrade Krieger is, quite obviously, a nom de guerre of this young man. I spoke to him to get his account of what went down during the push to Kiev. He is currently not deployed and filling up on shashlik and Vitamin D at his dach…
On the nature of the Kremlin elite:
Russia's Elites Are Suffering From Extreme Cognitive Dissonance
I had a nice call with Andrei Tsiganov, a journalist and popular conservative-patriot in Russia about 10 days ago. Tsiganov’s “Katyusha” news portal is a good source for alternative patriotic viewpoints from within Russia. They did heroic work during the insane COVID lockdowns and forced vaccination rollout in Russia trying to resist these WEF-inspired …
On the anti-White migration policies of the Russian Federation:
Why Isn't Russia Letting Western Migrants Into Russia?
A few weeks ago, I started conducting a series of interviews with Russian conservatives. I shopped around and tried to find an outlet with a larger audience that would be interested in publishing them. But, no doubt because these interviews presented an alternative, patriotic perspective coming from within Russia, that contradicted the 5D narrative prom…
On the grassroots patriotic Orthodox opposition in COVID Russia:
Russia From the Right — Alexander Porozhnyakov of the “Tsar’s Cross” Movement
Alexander Porozhnyakov is a young, conservative grassroots activist in Russia. He’s been in the wider right-wing movement for a decade, which makes him a veritable veteran of right-wing Russian politics. Alexander Porozhnyakov He runs a media project called “Tsar’s Cross” that promotes Orthodoxy, Russian nationalism and criticizes Liberals in both civil s…
On the betrayal of Donbass by Moscow’s oligarchs:
Russia From the Right — Vladislav Ugolniy: Donbass Cyber Guerrilla and “Russkiy Mir” Nationalist
I’d like to introduce Vladislav Ugolniy, a Russian nationalist in Donetsk and a founder of OPCB — a humanitarian aid and media project which I can’t for the life of me translate. When I asked Ugolniy to help me out he just chuckled and said it was an inside joke. So there, sorry, I tried.

This blog is world-famous for its prophetic predictions.
Rolo believes that the accuracy of these predictions ought to be proof enough of the veracity of his analyses and why his future predictions ought to be taken seriously. Readers are encouraged to check for themselves and make up their own minds on whether or not Rolo is a political shaman on all things related to Russia. Also, all of these predictions were made in the face of stiff opposition from literally every single other English-language Russia analyst. They earned Rolo the enduring hatred of the rest of the analyst community who were proven to be frauds and the everlasting admiration of the Stalkers, who supported Rolo throughout his informational terror campaign to wake people up to reality.
This is not an exhaustive list by any means.
Rolo predicted that Russia would retreat from Kherson without a fight about a month out.
Seems I Was Right About Kherson
It seems that the official decision has been made. Shoigu met with Surovikin and they decided that Kherson would be abandoned. DW: Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered his troops to withdraw from the southern city of Kherson on Wednesday, marking a significant retreat for Russia.
Rolo predicted that there would be no major “big arrow” winter offensives from Russia’s side and or indeed at any time in the foreseeable future.
Hedging My Bets on the Russian Winter Checkmate
I found another Russia commentator recently who blogs on Substack. He believes that it’s all about to go down in a big way very soon. Since his opinion contrasts so vastly from mine, I figure it’s worth looking into his analyses in more detail. Let’s see what he has to say together:
Rolo predicted in winter that the UAF would attack Zaporozhye and was only off by 5 days.
Ukraine is Going to Go On the Offensive ... in the South Probably
With one prediction of mine expiring upon coming to fruition, we have one left in the air that is pending. Yes, the Russian “Jeet-Kun-Do” Winter offensive has failed to materialize, just as I predicted. But, all signs point to a looming Ukrainian counter-attack. In particular, if the preparations we see now are not a feint, the attack looks to be set to…
Rolo took Prigozhin seriously and argued that a) the conflict wasn’t “kayfabe” to confuse Kiev and b) that Prigozhin’s threats and accusations were serious and largely true.
I Told You So
Late is the hour in which Rolo chooses to appear. Yes, I have been glued to the screen and following developments. I’ve also been streaming in Russian and getting showered with donations and people finally admitting that I was right about everything all along. I decided to take a break from my much-deserved award ceremony to check in with you guys and t…
My current running prediction is my interpretation of the events that transpired during the Not-Mutiny. I am the only blogger NOT claiming either a) that it didn’t happen or that b) it was a clever psyop to trick Kiev or that c) it was resolved because Putin decided to show mercy to Prigozhin out of the goodness of his heart.
Also, I stated that the battle for Zaporozhye would be decided by the amount of prepared reserves and the decision on whether to commit them by the MoD or not. I expressed skepticism about Russia’s odds of making the correct decision under the current MoD leadership.
Needless to say, we are still waiting to see what happens there.
Now, for fairness’ sake, Rolo made two big mispredictions as well.
Rolo predicted that Russia would announce another mobilization wave in the winter and that Putin would make a big announcement around the 1 year start date of the SMO announcing the implementation of an “anti-terrorism operation/state”.
Now, further mobilization did occur, but it was done on the sly, unofficially and we don’t know the full number of men that eventually got mobilized, only that they kept mobilizing quietly after the official end of the first wave. Also, volunteers have continued signing up, to fight voluntarily and for pay as Putin himself has bragged quite recently. As for the second point, I ended up getting my announcement of an ATO, but only half a year later when Wagner took Rostov and marched on Moscow. This only proves to me that the Kremlin fears Wagner more than they ever did their esteemed Western partners in Kiev and Washington and Tel Aviv.

The Slavland Chronicles carries in-depth deep dives on very important hidden conspiracies that underpin the crisis that the Slavlands face now, but that don’t come up much in the news cycle. I am particularly proud of these longer pieces and I am certain that you will appreciate them as well:
On the anti-Russian sentiment fostered in Ukraine:
Gongadze - The Domino That Decided the Fate of Ukraine
You have to admit, Ukraine has had an action-packed 30 years of existence as a so-called sovereign state. In that time, a lot of bad stuff happened, a lot of bad (and good) people were killed and a lot of hard times were had. Like all people do, Ukrainians formed a very particular and idiosyncratic view of their own tumultuous recent history, focusing on certain aspects, forgetting others, and putting it all in a special emotional context which formed the national meta-narrative going forward.
On the looming Kazakhstan crisis and the anti-Russian policies of the FSU:
Solzhenitsyn and Limonov Could Have Saved the Russians in Kazakhstan
This is not going to be an extensive overview of the post-Soviet history of Kazakhstan. Like I did with my article on Gongadze, this is just a human interest piece, but one that ties many different threads and themes together. It is worth mentioning the volatile situation that Kazakhstan finds itself in today and the eerie parallels that it has to the Ukraine situation, which you should already be familiar with if you read my previous deep dive articles from behind the paywall.
The murky and “spooky” origins of the so-called Russian nationalists fighting on the side of Kiev:
Who Are the So-Called "Russian Nationalists" Fighting on the Side of Kiev?
It appears that Kiev continues to be able to send people into Russia or recruit them from within Russia. Moscow, in particular, is crawling with agents. A cell got caught the other day: Today in Moscow, law enforcement officers detained members of the Russian Volunteer Corps (an organization banned in Russia). Let me remind you that the RDK is a unit of Russian volunteers formed in August 2022 who have been fighting on the side of Ukraine since 2014 (immigrants from the Azov regiment). RDK is subordinate to the GUR.
These articles took time, effort, and research to write. I would dearly appreciate it if you picked up a paid subscription to support my work and read them. I wrote a heartfelt appeal here that, if you read nothing else, I hope you will take the time to read this:
A Slavland Stalker Appeal
I’ve stopped aggressively shilling for paid subs on this blog in recent weeks. I guess I was just too busy following the Wagner drama and posting a lot of public articles, trying to get my stuff out there and involved in the larger discussion. This has largely failed. Growth in readership spikes when people read what I have to say, but many then turn aw…
Finally, I appeared on a Rumble debate with Aussie Cossack recently:
I was grateful for the opportunity to get my voice heard and I was very appreciative of Boikov’s openness and honesty with me during the talk. In particular, he took the time to explain to me, in no uncertain terms, that I would be punished for breaking rank and sharing this information with my audience. He stated that there would be no future in journalism, or government or politics in Russia and no guarantee that I would even be allowed to return to the country at all.
I think Boikov was telling the truth, and has good reason to know what he is talking about, even though it hurt to hear it explained so plainly to me.
For my part, I have always done what I can to promote a healthy sense of Russian identity, pride in Russia’s history and traditions, and, defend the Russian people against smears directed at them from all parts of the political spectrum in the West.
I defended Russia against nationalists who labelled all Russians as mongrels or mongols. I defended Russia against liberals who attacked all Russians as backwards oppressors and occupiers. I defended Russia against anti-Communists who laid the blame for Bolshevik atrocities at the feet of the actual Russian people. Finally, I defended Russia against the ethnic neocon hate campaign that fomented civil war among the Slavs and brought the West to the brink of war with Russia as we speak now.
I will always continue to defend Russia and the Russian people.
If what I have written so far makes me an enemy of the spook state, then that says more about them than about me. I have broken no laws and I have never taken money from or worked with Russia’s enemies. But they know that. The Russians I have worked with over these years and my readers know it as well. So, I’ll save my breath for the troika trial if it comes to that, for all the good it will do me.
Me, I live a simple life and I don’t ask for much because I don’t desire much. I don’t want apartments in Moscow or an expensive high-end silicone wife. My hobbies are writing, meditating and drunk driving, and they keep me honest, grounded, and amused. Nobody pays me but my readers. So long as that support continues, I will continue writing and podcasting.
Thank you for the support you have already shown me and thank you to my future supporters as well.
I wrote this piece so that you could have a primer to share with people who are starting to wake up from the disinfo being promulgated by NAFO or ZAnon. So, please, share this piece on Substack, on Twitter, and on the blogs of disinfo agents in the “alternative” media.
The enemies of the Slavlands recoil with anger and with fear when they hear my name.
It's been quite a wild ride, Rolo. I remember the initial optimism which began to shift as time and territory moved. Russia as a nationalist bastion was so appealing and while the people have much to commend about themselves and culture, you and Riley have really driven home how captured we all are. Russia's actions are just as fake and gay as NAFO's. So far you've been wrong about the strength, or perhaps effectiveness, of the UAF counter-offensive but the summer is still young and honestly no one really knows WTF is going on along the battlefront. You were definitely right about Zaporizhe being a push area. Keep pushing the truth and your solid analysis. You still owe us some conspiracy theory posts and talk of Agarthe.
I just listened to the debate with Aussie Cossack. My jaw practically dropped to the floor, I could hardly believe what I was hearing. He all but admitted that he didn't give a rat's ass about telling the truth, and that he only cares about parroting Russian Government propaganda. He absolutely verified everything you've been saying about him and all his 5D friends.
