i learned to surf with my russian friend anna glasvow from moscow...i hate all governments...i do not hate the people...anna was vegan and did yoga like me and loved animals...everytime i hear about 'russia is a threat russia is the enemy,' i'm like nah bro! anna was awesome! and she's my friend!
Putin will not be alive to see his future army grow up. I remember the US ban of adoptions. That sad story of the child who died in a hot car but it was US Magnitsky Act, the political act that pissed Putin off and the adoptions were the result. Putin is the greatest threat to Russia. China and India have already told Putin not to do it. They will make sure. Russian economy is going down the drain. It will slide faster and faster until it goes splat! Non functioning. Wait til the boys get a little older and they discover girls. A whole new perspective.
I know it’s been building, the “trad values” thing. People getting locked up for their music, their writings, their art work. It’s fascism which is at play. The increasing bigotry/racism towards Muslims should really be taken seriously. Today is being chased by thugs, but tomorrow could be much worse. Get out of Russia any way you can. Maybe you can go back one day but I would plan on a least 10 years. Try Canada. At least send your kids for education. The ginger with the square glasses who likes to joke about Darwin is sitting on an Ikea chair. It does seem incongruous and really he should get rid of it and get a straight backed utilitarian chair more suited to his opinions. I’m betting he has the footstool that goes with that chair. He might be funny to you Zack, but he is a total dick-head. Yes, The police are to keep the khulio safe from women and children. They only held them for long enough to scare them a little. They have to go home and make dinner for the other children. The Journalists I expect were held a lot longer, but eventually let go with a fine and a warning. Like I said...fascist tactics. Not funny Zack. Putin taking advantage of meat. meat for his war machine. Lies, lies, lies....all the time every time.
the priest is a joke he has no true knowledge of scripture. anyone that can read true christian scripture can easily call out the hypocrisy in his statements. what an actor.
You shouldn't mix up Rus and "Russia". Rus is current Ukraine and Belarus. Jews could live there, although anti-Semitism undeniably did exist. Russia has nothing to do with Rus. That country was originally called Muscovy and officially Jews had not been allowed to live on its territory until World War One. Muscovy changed its name to justify grabbing Ukrainian and Belarus lands.
17:20 you are misreading the legend - the numbers on the map correspond to the regions ordered by the number of victims, not to the number of victims itself. The color coding and the legend below the map tell the exact number of victims, with 1 (Kostroma Region) and 15 klled people, colored in dark purple, has the highest documented number.
Thank you Zack for the update. I guess the Russian orthodox church isn't the same as before communism. They are infested by KGB/FSB, and been for a long time. I don't think Putin is a communist, he is a mafia boss with an KGB education.
I think the "priest" Katchof is affraid that meatgriner will be adding prieasts to the mix soon, and when he thinks Stalin is awakening he might be right, that abondance of priests around the country is not insignificant.
In the USA, we say Social Sciences at the university level and Social Studies in education at the K-12 graduate (elementary school, middle school and high school). At the university level, Social Sciences include Political Science (which could be called Civics or Government), Economics, Psychology and Sociology. Social Studies is mostly just History but also includes Geography (both of which are part of university level Social Sciences). At the lower levels, Social Studies is much general and doesn’t focus as much on more specific fields or disciplines.
Thank you Zack. These news reports are important now. Birth rates in Russia have plummeted because of Putin’s genocidal war and the severe economic disruptions it has brought to Russia. Young families do not feel secure enough to bring new children into this world. This will not be changed by laws and programs created by the Russian state. Propaganda will not make people feel safe enough to begin raising new families.
The USA SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) has two parts, English and mathematics. These are the foundations of learning. Are Russian standards Russian, history, social studies? Why is mathematics not stressed?
34:20 Is this in East Karelia or Finnish Karelia (most of the Finnish Karelia on the russian side of the border is part of the Leningrad oblast, but the Ladoga Karelia region is part of the Republic of Karelia)? I mean, it's disgusting regardless, but if this is in Finnish Karelia, then as a Finnish Karelian whose family had to evacuate from those areas, I find it extra disgusting.
russia is now claiming that Finns are responsible for the Sandarmokh mass graves and that the victims are russians from East Karelia. To anyone who doesn't know, these mass graves are full of victims of Stalin's purges, including Finns and Ukrainians.
Gee Zack, which bio lab in the USA will you apply to after graduating? We have so many all over the world. Russian propaganda news is hilarious but sad for the people who watch it & believe that crap. This is a perfect example of how to ruin a society. MAGA is basically trying the same thing here.
Zack thank you for mentioning обществознание (Russian social science thinking). In Marxist countries, these disciplines were not allowed to develop freely as in the West, but only what served the interest of the state is taught (eg, brainwashing the masses, making them compliant, but not able to critique the system). Yet you yourself learned critical thinking needed to escape the mental prison.
The plastic bottle prosthetics make me very upset. Many people have lost all sympathy for russians and especially soldiers (understandably) but I cannot be blind to tragedies. I want to see them home with their families, not disassembled on a drone video.
Isn't this priest commiting some sort of a felony with threatening with Stalin? I thought the the RuSSian cult (that is the church) sanctified a few new Stalin's statues across the country recently, completely denying what he did to them during his reign. Stalin should be a celebrated hero by now, for how he miraculously freed USSR from comrades Nazis. Firstly they had a pact, then became enemies, and Stalin was losing this great patriotic war because he made his army incompetent after he killed thousands of his commanders, out of fear. Poor sod. So what is it? Good or bad Stalin? I am confused.
😂😂😂 (as an answear to the Corona thing!) // The only real worry (?) with all these labs and poisonouse seagulls 🙄, is that r most often accuse others of what they do themselfs, is it possible that r could do any crap like that?
As a European (Swede) I'd say that "stalin" or soviet is now the EU. Unelected bureaucrats and a political elite that plays on their own terms, without listening to the people, slowly but steady usurping power from the native people and sovereign nations of the EU. Taking our freedom of speech and movement and creating a massive redistribution of value so political mistakes go unnoticed. The Oligarchy is in power and it's next to impossible for us to vote them away.
Zach, is that so-called Orthodox Priest spouting out garbage Russia's own idea of a televangelist? We have thousands of them here and all of them collect donations tax free. If you want to learn more about this phenomenon you can type in 'televangelism' on Wikipedia to start learning about a crazy thing that doesn't seem to happen nearly as often in other countries as it does here, unfortunately.

The Ukrainian coronavirus conspiracy is just the latest in a long line of absurdities that Russia has tried it's damnedest to use in hopes of creating a problem between Ukraine, my country the U.S., and the countries of the European Union. It might work well for the home audience but it will hopefully fall flat when they parade it on RT and the other subversive propaganda networks that they either set up themselves or attempt to join together with a far-right MAGA misinformation group. I know that Hunter Biden has worked in Ukraine for an ( oligarch-owned) country from 2014-2019. That happened during his father's second term as VP and also through much of Trump's term, with Trump attempting to blackmail newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into ordering the Ukrainian Intelligence Service to investigate Hunter for corruption, nepotism (which is funny considering how Trump surrounded himself with his family to whom he gave a lot of power to do things like organizing the Jerusalem accords; done by son-in-law Jared Kushner, himself from a wealthy and powerful family) as well as allowing Ivanka Trump and Kellyanne Conway to promote Ivanka's beauty/clothing line. That is against the law, due to Franklin D. Roosevelt passing a law that prevents all politicians, who currently hold office, and their families, to engage in business that enriches themselves. Zach, I wrote all of this to show you that there is reason to believe that Trump and Russia have continued to try and smear Biden's presidency. With regards to my politics I consider myself to be a Social Democrat with Libertarian leanings. I don't like either Trump or Biden, but have more respect for Biden. Anyway, again I'm happy that you are here going to school to better yourself and to eventually be able to help your family back in the Russian Far East. Joel
It's so sad to see all these tv fakes spouting deliberate propaganda, deception and fooling the people. And sadder that the people feel helpless to do anything about it.
