    2.1 Z(ed) is Dead

    "Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead." In this episode of The Eastern Border, we dive into the surreal start of 2026. While the world watches the US conduct a "Blitzkrieg" operation in Venezuela to snatch Nicolas Maduro, the Kremlin is strangely silent. Why? Because the "Jungle Law" Vladimir Putin prayed for has finally arrived—and he’s realizing he isn’t the biggest predator in the forest.

    The Migthy Potato Awards…and also a bit about Venezuela and Vatniks

    Greetings, Comrades – the time for the Migthy Potato awards has come! So, join us for this (very unscripted) first episode of the year, where we give out The Migthy Potato to the worst and funniest nonsense that we’ve seen last year – and, ehh…as usual for when I want to relax a bit, weird things happen in the world. Also, I managed to accidentally slice my fingers open pretty badly during this stream so we had to cut this short. Here’s a link to the stream, as I was told that making this as an audio post would be a bit better. https://youtube.com/live/lJYRR5CuPjc Please, also donate to Ukraine if You can: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/christmas-tree-trucks-2025-the-eastern-border Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

    25. "Noble Knights" & Corruption : The Truth Behind Russia's '91-Drone Attack on Putin's House' Lie

    In this emergency news episode, I tear down the "Valdai Mirage." I look at the physics that make their claim impossible, the massive bureaucratic screw-up that exposed the lie, and the hilarious meltdown of the "Z-Bloggers" who are furious that their government can't even fake a battle correctly. Happy new year, Comrades. This one's free for patrons, I've pressed the "Charge for this post" enough times this month already.

    24. The Race on Broken Legs: A Cunning Plan to Bankrupt the Empire

    While the Kremlin announces glorious victories, the true believers are writing the Empire’s obituary. Igor "Strelkov" Girkin writes from prison to expose the truth about the "liberation" of Kupyansk—and accuses General Gerasimov of lying directly to Putin’s face. At the same time, his best buddy Maxim Kalashnikov predicts a budget deficit until 2042 and compares Russia to a ship with broken masts fighting a race against American drones. Oh, and there's also a thing or two how they think Trump isn't dictatorial enough. Please, pinch in for a car for Ukraine if you can: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/christmas-tree-trucks-2025-the-eastern-border (Also, this'll have a WAY more clickbaity title on YouTube, but I have to get the clicks in so that we get some more listeners for the episode.)

    Evita's Christmas special: Entity known as "Kristaps" and it's impact on regular human life.

    Hi there, comrades! Here comes the promised episode by Evita (you asked for it yourself, kapish?) where she trauma-dumps, jokes and talks about her past in Russian-centered environment. And complains about Kristaps, a little bit. Also you can consider it a preview for future episodes about wild Russian pop culture lore.

    23. Hacked Hipsters, Vienna Cafes and Girkin's Prophecy

    In this episode: the staggering hypocrisy of project leads who build "digital prisons" for Russians while living comfortably in Vienna, Austria. Also, from behind bars, Girkin warns that the current "Peace Plan" is a suicide trap, while Kalashnikov argues that the "Raw Material Empire" is collapsing and 2026 will look a lot like 1917.

    How Prof. Lipsits tried to save the Soviet economy in just two days

    Today I'm back with an oldschool style episode, because I really needed a break from the news - so I give You the story of professor Igor Lipsits - if you remember, he was a guest on the show and talked about the Russian economy not so long ago - about how back in 1989, the Politburo tasked him with trying to save the financial health of the USSR. And, please - if you can, donate for a truck for the Ukrainian army for the Christmas season: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/christmas-tree-trucks-2025-the-eastern-border/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

    22. Fable of the Bridge

    The Russian army is not the mighty empire we’re told to fear. It is a rusted, bureaucratic black hole where reality is sacrificed for paperwork, and human life is cheaper than a 700-kilogram winch. I call it "The Fable of the Bridge." Because, in the end, it’s a story where the soldiers lose, the commanders lie, and the only things that work are the Ukrainian drones.
